After all, the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach.
Valentine’s Day is slowing creeping up on us, meaning it’s time to start thinking about how you are going to wow that special someone in your life. While planning and cooking a meal from scratch for a loved one is a romantic gesture, we know all too well about the pressure of creating the perfect culinary delight. If Murphy’s Law is anything to go by, if you are planning an elaborate feast for V Day, there is a high chance it could end in tragedy. Burning your prosciutto-wrapped chicken and roasted cauliflower that took you 3 hours to prep is the ultimate mood-killer after all. To help make your Valentine’s Day perfect, we have rounded up 7 of our go-to romantic restaurants in Brisbane. So, take the stress out of Valentine’s Day and book don’t cook!
