Valentine’s dining in Sydney centres on established menus rather than limited-time concepts. Premium restaurants focus on the dishes that define their kitchens, allowing couples to order with confidence.
Rockpool Bar & Grill
Rockpool Bar & Grill serves its standard à la carte menu on Valentine’s Day. The grand dining room suits luxurious celebrations, giving couples access to the restaurant’s full range of premium Australian produce.
Freshly shucked Sydney Rock Oysters are a natural starting point. For mains, the Rangers Valley Wagyu Scotch Fillet remains a signature order, grilled over wood fire and paired with classic sides. The menu also includes carefully sourced seafood and seasonal vegetables. The wine list spans Australian and international producers, with a broad selection available by the bottle and glass.

Spice Temple
The evening unfolds at a gentle pace in a warm, low-lit dining room that’s designed for a relaxed and memorable evening.
Spice Temple offers a Valentine’s menu designed for two, presented as a set banquet. The format replaces à la carte ordering with a fixed sequence of regional Chinese dishes. The menu begins with dumplings before progressing through multiple shared courses that build in depth and spice. Dishes arrive in a defined order, creating a clear rhythm throughout the meal.
Reserve your Spice Temple banquet.
The Cut Bar & Grill
The Cut presents a Valentine’s Tasting Menu built around premium beef. Wood-fire cooking brings warmth to the room alongside the structured menu format. The menu opens with wood-fired Wagyu intercostals with burnt celeriac and miso, followed by Stone Axe Wagyu Topside MB9+ aged in beef tallow and Cape Grim Black Angus Prime Rib MB4+ cooked over wood fire. Sides accompany the mains before dessert, with the bourbon-aged Blackmore Wagyu Rump Cap available as an alternative.

Saké Restaurant & Bar
Saké builds its Valentine’s offering around share-style Japanese dishes that arrive gradually, letting the evening unfold at its own pace. Common starting dishes include sashimi and Hiramasa Kingfish, followed by robata-grilled Wagyu and tempura. Japanese whisky flights are available, alongside cocktails and sake. Two Sydney locations offer different settings: The Rocks, near the harbour, and Double Bay in the eastern suburbs. Both feature polished dining rooms, perfect for a memorable Valentine’s experience.

The Garden
The Garden offers alfresco dining within a heritage courtyard in The Rocks. The menu focuses on light, seasonal dishes alongside cocktails, making it suitable for couples planning drinks or a relaxed meal as part of their Valentine’s itinerary. Next door, Tailor Room provides a more enclosed cocktail bar setting, allowing Valentine’s plans to extend from the courtyard into a dedicated drinks space.
24 York
24 York takes a single-dish approach to Valentine’s Day. The menu centres on a premium grass-fed scotch fillet served with tallow-fried shoestring frites and house-made sauces, removing decision-making to keep attention on the evening itself. The set plate is priced at approximately $48 per person, with optional additions such as a green leaf salad or a classic dessert.
