Let love in with Rydges South Bank’s month-long Valentine’s Day celebrations
It’s never a bad thing to add a little more love into the world. Really, it’s quite a shame that Valentine’s Day comes but once a year. Luckily for us, Rydges South Bank has declared that February is the Month of Love and is determined to fill the whole 28 days with celebration of the softer feelings, be it romantic love, familial love, platonic love or even a little self love. From its Month of Love accommodation packages to the mouth-watering Valentine’s inspired tasting menu at Bacchus, Rydges South Bank is pulling out all the stops to romance your socks off. Read on for the dreamy details …
Picture this: you and your boo on a romantic rendezvous, walking hand-in-hand along the banks of the Brisbane River and sharing a long strand of spaghetti over a candlelit dinner table. Or maybe you and your besties take some time out of your busy lives for a glamorous city stay-cay in the heart of Brisbane’s dynamic arts scene. You can even treat yourself to a little ‘me time’ and retreat to the comfort of your very own love nest at Rydges South Bank, all set against the mesmerising backdrop of the Brisbane cityscape. It’s all possible with Rydges’ Month of Love package which includes overnight accommodation in a room type of your choice, valet parking, sweetheart amenity, full Rydges Grand Room Service breakfast and a bottle of Australian sparkling wine to toast your arrival. When you arrive at your well-appointed room, you’ll find an extra special surprise – a gorgeous pink chocolate heart. Be a heartbreaker and smash it open to find even more delicious treats inside.
Having taken a month to celebrate love, of course Rydges isn’t going to let Valentine’s slip by in a single day. Across the weekend of February 14 and 15, ignite the flames of passion with Bacchus Restaurant’s Valentine’s Tasting Menu. Chef de cuisine Marco Sfamurri has crafted a dining experience filled with aphrodisiac-inspired dishes from freshly shucked oysters with raspberry vinaigrette and pickled radish to tagliolini with spicy lobster bisque and crab, and lamb saddle sprinkled with pomegranate. Known for delicately constructed, work-of-art desserts, this year Bacchus unveils the Bacchus’ Popsicle, a mixed berry, pink peppercorn and rose-infused dream to cap off your mouth-watering meal. Each dish is perfectly paired with wine and non-alcoholic options, or you can spring for the special sommelier’s selection. With multiple sittings available, reserve the session that best suits your Valentine’s schemes and settle in for a night of fireworks … for your taste buds.
