Tuck into our gourmet guide to Valentine’s Day, from Champagne and oysters at J. Sheekey to the sexiest celebration in town at Sexy Fish
Sexy Fish
Impress that special someone with a five-course tasting menu (£95) at London’s Sexy Fish, which includes a signature cocktail and Valentine goody bag with a saucy surprise from Coco de Mer to take home. On Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 February, Sexy Fish will be transformed into the ultimate romantic destination with live musical performances, great food and cocktails (try the Kalamasutra Martini) and a few surprises thrown in for good measure. The resident DJ will take late diners into the early hours, spinning the decks until 2am on Saturday and 1am on Sunday.
Mount Street Deli
Start the day as you mean to go on with a special Breakfast in Bed Box from the Mount Street Deli (£50), which includes half a bottle of Champagne, peach nectar, jam heart biscuits, signature granola, organic fruit purées and Postcard breakfast tea.

Perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, the new Ivy Kensington Brasserie has launched afternoon tea in association with Perrier-Jouët champagne, and installed over 700 origami butterflies across the ceiling. Each diner will receive their very own origami Butterfly Kiss with a surprise Valentine’s message and potential prize. Tea includes marinated cucumber and dill sandwiches and smoked salmon blinis with cream cheese and chive; warm fruit scones; miniature lemon meringue pie, rich fruit cake with cheese, a chocolate opera cake and a perfect lavender and almond macaron.
