Edgewater Dining & Lounge
An indulgent three-course dinner with a side serve of sensational skyline views awaits at waterside iconic Edgewater Dining & Lounge. The talented chefs have prepared a stellar Valentine’s menu, kicking off with dishes like bugs and mango scones and mouth-watering Byron Bay stracciatella.

Madam Fu
Celebrate love with a fine feast of dumplings, spicy karaage chicken, nasi goreng and wok-tossed delights at Madam Fu. The modern-Asian hot spot is the perfect date-night spot this Valentine’s Day, serving everything from pulled beef brisket wonton tacos and crispy bug bao buns to braised-duck spring rolls, coastal curries, punchy noodles and a mouth-watering array of seafood delights. Our pick? The hiramasa kingfish with a yuzu ginger dressing and green apple, and the chicken siu mai dumplings with (a very addictive) black vinegar. Secure your eats here.
Valyn Thai
As the grand chandeliers sparkle above, you and your lover can indulge in some of the city’s best Thai cuisine. Known for its mouth-watering, artfully presented dishes, Valyn Thai will be serving up its full menu this Valentine’s Day. Choose from starters like Tang-Mo-Pla (watermelon, fish floss, bonito flakes and monk-fruit sugar), Angus eye-filled beef skewers and calamari with tom yum puree, before sharing mains like the fragrant red duck curry, crispy pork belly and whole barramundi. Pro tip – finish with the deep-fried ice-cream wrapped in filo pastry. Make a booking here.
Manolas Bros
If woodfired pizza and handmade pasta are the way to your heart, secure a spot at popular Italian deli, bar and bistro Manolas Bros. The extensive pizza list is sure to delight (if you need some help, our eyes are firmly locked on the Diavola with fior di latte, salami piccante, basil, oregano, EVOO and chilli flakes), alongside mains like the venue’s famed spanner-crab lasagne with abalone sauce, and the pappardelle with eight-hour-slow-braised beef ragu. To book a table for Valentine’s Day lunch or dinner, head to the Manolas Bros website.
GoBoat
Keen for something a little different this Valentine’s Day? Throw on the life jackets and set sail for a day of adventure with GoBoat. Located on the marina side of Capri on Via Roma, GoBoat’s speed-limited electric vessels are a fun, safe and very Instagrammable way to explore the local waterways. You don’t need a boat licence – just pack a picnic, don your captain’s hat and whisk your lover off on an adventure. One-, two-, and three-hour sessions can be booked online.
