It's that time of year again when couples scramble to make reservations at the city's most romantic restaurants. Coincidentally, it's also the one day when chefs can get away with cookie-cutter set menus. Fortunately, it's not all a lost cause for lovers - you can still score a great meal if you pick the right venue.

Those with a taste for the finer things in life should book a table at ( 7/F The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, 15 Queen's Road Central; tel: 2132 0066; amberhongkong.com The award-winning establishment is known for its consistently high standards and chef Richard Ekkebus makes no exception on Valentine's Day, designing an eight-course gourmet menu that features signature creations such as Hokkaido scallops with black winter truffles.
There's also the five-course feast at Scandinavian restaurant ( 1/F The Luxe Manor, 39 Kimberley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui; tel: 2522 9318; finds.com.hk Dishes are based around purported aphrodisiacs, including oysters and chocolate.

Some couples, however, may prefer the casual comforts of ( 2/F L Place, 139 Queen's Road Central; tel: 2870 2323; thesaltedpig.com.hk V-Day dinner at the porcine-obsessed restaurant starts with a basket of bacon-fat popcorn, followed by a choice of three hearty courses. Think roasted pork rack with mustard mash.

Finally, because February 14 shouldn't just be about couples, places like ( LG/F The Langham, 8 Peking Road, Tsim Sha Tsui; tel: 2132 7898) are taking the anti-romance approach by foregoing the cheesy decor in favour of greasy diner fare and margaritas.
