Valentine's Menu: What Is It?

A Valentine's Menu is a detailed list of food and beverages available at a cafe or restaurant ahead of or during Valentine's Day.

Alternate Names:

• Valentine's Day Menu;
• Valentine Menu.

High-end restaurants and small food outlets alike offer special menus at the start of February - alternatively, there can be an opportunity to try new food and drinks for one night only whether the customer visits the establishment to attend a party, prefers takeout, or orders delivery. Do your best to inform regular and prospective clients about the dining options and improve the chances to boost your revenue during a profitable time for any restaurant business.

How to Make a Valentine's Day Menu?

Here are some Valentine's Menu ideas you may use when working on a perfect menu for your cafe or restaurant ahead of February 14th:

1. When it comes to the contents of the menu, you can tweak familiar recipes - even the slightest changes like a new coloring or a shape of a cake will help your establishment to stand out. Surprise the guests by offering them small desserts if they order a dish for two or bring them a bottle of wine or champagne in case they are celebrating their engagement or anniversary in your establishment - the latter gift is the surest way to guarantee customer loyalty. Since there is no traditional food usually cooked or served on Valentine's Day or a one-size-fits-all menu, make sure your restaurant sticks to what you do best and offers excellent service alongside your signature dishes.
2. Pay close attention to the design of the menu. You are not obliged to use white for the background - black will work just fine for a place with a strong romantic vibe as long as the font you have chosen to indicate the menu options is easily readable. List the dishes and beverages replacing bullet points with roses or hearts, add a similar semi-transparent background, or frame the list with other symbols of Valentine's Day such as Cupids, heart-shaped chocolate boxes, balloons, or cupcakes. If your brand is well-known - for instance, the logo can be instantly recognized, - you can rebrand for a week by simply changing the color of the logo and menu and matching it with the decor of your establishment.
3. Save money and help the environment by opting for a smaller format of the menu - in case your establishment continues to serve the same dishes and beverages with the addition of a few specials or discounts to couples that reserve a table to celebrate the holiday together, there is no need to invest in large menus. A bifold or trifold brochure can be the ideal solution - list up to 10-15 main dishes, desserts, and drinks your guests can enjoy for a limited period of time. Do not forget to promote the menu on your website and social media accounts - a brochure can be easily shared online to increase the chances to attract new clients.
