Chocolates, olives, lobsters and garlic are supposedly aphrodisiacs, or foods guaranteed to get you wild with desire, or madly reckless. Now Baci, the Italian restaurant cafe in Sunder Nagar, has cleverly designed an aphrodisiac meal for Valentine’s Day. Try their prawn and lobster bisque or bite into a scrumptuous crepe filled with asparagus and topped with a cocoa-honey sauce, as a live music band performs in the background. Even if the aphrodisiacs in the meal don’t get you going, satisfaction from the meal is more or less guaranteed.

Price: Rs 2500 plus taxes for a couple

Timing: 12.30-3.30 pm lunch and 7.30 -11.30 pm dinner

While love songs from various countries will be played in the background, there are also surprise offerings for the guests on the D- Day.

Price: Rs 2000 plus taxes for a couple (without drinks) and Rs 3000 plus taxes for a couple (with unlimited drinks)

Azurro

Chef Shrivant Rajgharia of Azurro Bar and Kitchen at PVR Saket gives you a reprieve from the meat options and whips up a delicate smoked salmon crepe instead. There’s a fennel and saffron risotto and a fresh rocket and almond salad to go with it. But the best part of the deal comes with the dessert: the Love Pot. It’s a rich chocolate and Bailey’s fondeau, which will leave you craving for a second helping. The meal comes with a complimentary glass of wine.

Price: Rs 2200 plus taxes for a couple

Timing: Noon to 11 pm
