Valentine's Day Tasting Menu
US$95.00 per person
Feb 14, 2025 onlyAt Bistro 5, February is all about celebrating love, passion, and creativity. Every year, our kitchen team crafts a unique chocolate tasting menu for Valentine's Day—but this year, we're doing something different. We’re exploring the color RED. Red is the color of love, passion, and excitement, but it’s also a symbol of the fiery determination we face as chefs crafting new menus. This Valentine's Day, we’re channeling all those emotions into a bold and exciting dining experience. From luscious red ingredients to striking presentations, we invite you to savor a menu that’s as dynamic and vibrant as the emotions it celebrates. Bring your love, your passion, and your excitement—we’ll handle the rest.
