Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. If you haven’t found a place to celebrate this special day, these adults-only restaurants that ban children from entering are worth a shot. These are great if you are looking for a quiet and intimate location to have HTHTs with your partner, or if you guys just aren’t into little ones.
1-V:U is a new rooftop restaurant at Sentosa. A restaurant and day club at the same time, this beachfront concept is where couples can enjoy gorgeous views of the sea at Palawan Beach, and clink glasses as the sun dips down the horizon. If you love a good drink while bobbing to tunes by live DJs, this place will be right up your alley.
Food-wise, expect to munch on Asian-inspired bar grub such as Mala-gherita Pizza ($20++) with Hot Szechuan Tomato Sauce or a Vongole “Ku Teh” Pasta ($27++). For Valentine’s Day, there will be a 6-course dinner at $240++ per couple, and the lavish meal includes Irish oysters and wagyu.
