From Carnival City with love this Valentine’s Day
Written by: Melissa Dos Reis Goncalves Save to Instapaper
Dinner, a show, or both
To dine on Valentine’s or not to dine? To see a show on Valentine’s or not to see a show? Valentine’s Day does not have to follow a single script. At Carnival City, it can be about lingering over an elegant meal, settling in for a live performance filled with romance, or creating your own perfect mix of both. Whether you are planning a refined evening of fine dining or looking to soak up the atmosphere with live music and timeless love songs, Carnival City offers two distinct ways to mark the most romantic night of the year.
A Valentine’s Fine Dining Experience At Carnival City Hotel – Saturday, 14 February 2026
Enjoy an elegant multi-course menu featuring gourmet starters, a refreshing palate cleanser, your choice of main course, and a decadent dessert, all served in a sophisticated setting. The menu begins with olive bread, focaccia with roasted garlic, and rosemary and bread rolls; black pepper shortbread, onion marmalade and goat’s cheese mousse. This is followed by confit chicken and leek terrine with pickled shimenji mushroom, walnut ketchup, shiitake powder, and quinoa crumb.
Main course choices are herb crusted rack of lamb with truffle pomme purée, glazed baby carrots, onion pearls, and chimichurri; or pan roasted sea bass with silky fennel purée, compressed fennel, citrus beurre blanc, and fennel pollen; or roasted cauliflower steak with truffle and hazelnut cauliflower puree, hazelnut crumble, truffle oil, and mushroom jus.
Finish with butterscotch panna cotta with pear sorbet, honeycomb, and raspberry gel.
