There is also a simpler menu composed of mussels, sirloin steak and a fruit platter both shared courtesy of BBC.
Here are some additional tips you can look into for an extra wow factor:
- Consider adding dessert to the meal and surprise your sweetie by making their favorite!
- If you have a fireplace or balcony, set up a small table close by and use your special china and crystals, if you'd like.
- Simple pieces go along way so some candles, bowl of flowers or even a folded table napkin would do tricks to make it feel extra special.
- Prepare a movie and make it a whole night date indoors. You'll spend less but have twice the memories.
