Someone once said love is like a steak: it can be tough, but it still has its very juicy moments. If you can identify, there’s no better way to celebrate Cupid’s unofficial holiday than with the three-course Valentine’s Day offering at Headquarters (HQ), Cape Town’s single-concept steakhouse.
The swanky city grill is solely devoted to sourcing and serving high-quality sirloin, and as is the case every other night of the year, on Sunday, 14 February 2016 (yes, HQ steakhouse WILL BE OPEN on SUNDAY, 14 February 2016), the prime beef cut is the exclusive option on the menu (there is a mushroom substitute for vegetarians). The main event comes dished up with Café de Paris butter, skinny fries and a tasty green salad starter topped with a tangy mustard dressing; plus, couples can tuck into a tasting platter of the eatery’s decadent desserts after they’ve made their way through the first two courses.
The meal comes with a welcome glass of Pierre Jourdan bubbly; though, we’d recommend starting or ending the evening with some not-so-harmless flirtation at HQ’s famous cocktail bar. Alongside its low lighting, racy red leather seating and sultry ambience, the chic restaurant–slash-bar serves concoctions likely to blow your hair back or knock your socks off, which is especially useful if your partner’s not up to the task. Get loose with a Luxury Lemon Drop, Biltong Smoked Mary or the tequila-motivated Hooch. Or draw the night to a close in the cosy lounge area with a single malt, cigar or final glass of bubbly.
Aside from the romantic meal for two, there will also be live music and entertainment on the cards. Solo alternative acoustic musician Savannah Collins (Savannah Unplugged) will keep the folk, rock and blues tunes (all with a velvet-grunge twist) flowing from 7pm to 10pm. Guests can expect a strong blend of full rhythm guitar coupled with rich, husky vocals creating a unique mix of original material as well as cover songs.
However you choose to celebrate at HQ, just remember, love is rare, but your steak doesn’t have to be.
