Valentine’s Day

Magical Valentine’s Day at the Esplanade

Gift your loved one an unforgettable experience – Valentine’s Day at Zagreb’s most romantic hotel, complete with divine delicacies and an overnight stay in a luxurious room

A magical ambiance, flickering candlelight, roses and a gift for the lady, romantic music, bubbles of pure delight and expertly crafted gourmet creations by Executive Chef Ana Grgić Tomić will make this evening truly unforgettable.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day is one of the most beautiful traditions in the world. In Zagreb, it was the Esplanade Hotel that first embraced this custom in 1989 with a celebration in Le Bistro. Today, the luxurious art deco ambiance and the elegant atmosphere of the Esplanade’s interior with a touch of glamour continue to serve as the perfect backdrop for eternal romantics.

This year, the Esplanade has once again prepared the most romantic Valentine’s Day celebration in town. On Friday, 14 February 2025, guests celebrating love can enjoy a five-course gala dinner at the elegant Zinfandel’s Restaurant, including a welcome glass of sparkling wine, candlelight, and romantic music played by a DJ. Esplanade’s Chef Ana Grgić Tomić has created divine delicacies for this special occasion. Marinated scampo served alongside a crispy tart with crème brûlée of caramelised Jerusalem artichokes, Jerusalem artichoke tartare, and rose hip gel are sure to ignite the spark. Valentine’s feast continues with roasted broccolini with broccoli cream, paired with black garlic béarnaise, and panko and brown butter crumble. The next course features a delicacy – roasted foie gras with homemade cocoa brioche, prune gel, and plum and tonka consommé. The main course brings a true symphony of flavours: salmon Wellington served with kale, cranberry marmalade, and thick bone gravy. Round off the romantic evening with creamy chocolate, with a special ruby mousse with cherries, complemented by Maraschino crémeux and chocolate crumble. The Valentine’s Day dinner is priced at €145 per person, with every lady receiving a gift from the award-winning Croatian cosmetics brand Nikel.

After dinner, extend your celebration in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the Esplanade 1925 Lounge & Cocktail Bar. Indulge in a collection of Valentine’s-inspired cocktails, including Martini d’amore, Barbarossa, and Velvet, created by mixologist Vjenceslav Madić, aka Master Kishoni. Valentine’s Day cocktails will be available throughout February. To book your table at the Esplanade 1925 Lounge & Cocktail Bar, please call 01 45 666 33.
