LOLO DAD'S
899 Quirino Avenue cor. Leon Guinto, Malate, Manila; 524-2295
Open Mondays 6-10PM; Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11AM to 2PM, 6 to 10PM
Amorous Ambiance: Tired of the usual commercial scene? This quaint, intimate, out-of-the-way family-run foodie haunt set in a cozy, restored pre-war house of the owners’ lola provides the perfect mood-enhancing setting for your seduction.
Aphrodisiac Picks: Owner Ding Ayuyao swears by the Baked Oysters with Foie Gras, “All From the Above” appetizer sampler, Steamed Chilean Sea Bass, and Herb de Provence Crusted Rack of Lamb.
Swoon-Worthy Scene: Every Valentine’s Day (on which Lolo Dad’s anniversary falls), they give away tokens such as roses or abaniko. One guy had the staff tie an engagement ring on top of the cake meant for his girlfriend. When she found the ring, she started to cry—then he started to cry as well.
What They’ll Do For Love: Special requests are most welcome, even if it involves asking the chef to cook something that’s not on the menu.
Timing Is Everything: Come before 8PM and on a weekday, when the place is less packed.
Location, Location, Location: The best spot is at the Chef’s Table, where your food is prepared in front of you (unless you’d rather engage in intense eye-lock, oblivious to the world around you.)
Love Damage: Around P1,500 per person. You can bring your own bottle of wine, they’ll drop the corkage fee.
LE SOUFFLE AT THE TOP OF THE CITI
34th Floor, Citibank Tower, 8741 Paseo de Roxas, Makati City; 750-5810/750-5811
Open Monday to Friday, 7-10PM
Amorous Ambiance: Top of the Citi is known for having an incredible view of the Makati skyline, definitely conducive for some mild PDA.
Aphrodisiac Picks: Recommended dishes are the Pan-Fried Gooseliver Salad or, for the meat lover, Rack of Lamb with Rosemary Jus. For dessert, Old-fashioned Chocolate Cake or Amaretto Souffle—all washed down with wines from their cellar.
What They’ll Do For Love: Set up a table just for the two of you on the right wing terrace surrounded by mega candle lights and balloons.
Timing Is Everything: If you want to watch the sunset, come from 5:40 to 6PM.
Location, Location, Location: A table at the right wing terrace. The romantic atmosphere, combined with a taste of their Chocolate Decadence cake, is potent enough for anyone to fall in love.
Love Damage: A three-course meal starts at P1,200.
