Valentine’s Day Dinner at Peter’s House
Enjoy an intimate lovers’ feast at this delightfully affordable city centre dining spot
Celebrating Valentine’s Day in Cape Town doesn’t have to drain the bank balance and empty the pocket. In fact, a quiet rendezvous in an intimate, cosy place can be more meaningful than an extravagant meal.
Enter Peter’s House, a warm little restaurant on Kloof Nek Road that instantly feels like home and that keeps prices as low as it does spirits high. This 14 February, the charming eatery is putting together a delicious three-course dinner for lovers, making it the perfect spot to enjoy some close one-on-one time with your near and dear.
The Peter Rabbit-inspired venue – its delightful décor is dominated by images of bunnies and carrots – specialises in the sort of hearty, home-cooked food you’d expect to find in grandma’s kitchen, and the Cupid-style feast will certainly follow suit. More specifically, the Valentine’s Day meal will get passion hopping about in couples’ hearts with a tasty and wholesome starter, a to-die-for main and a sharing dessert platter filled with decadent, lovingly made nibbles.
What’s more, the dinner comes complete with a glass of red or white wine, so sweethearts can ease into the evening with some of the good stuff. And should they want to draw the night to a close by staring into each other’s eyes over a set of cards or a Monopoly board, they can do so in the dedicated games corner.
You see, the quaint city centre eatery is all about promoting personal connections in an environment that steers clear of expensive extravagance. So, if intimacy and affordability is what you’re looking for this Valentine’s Day, you know just which restaurant to bounce your way down to.
