Valentine’s is truly a day that transcends the language of love across the world. Celebrated by families, friends and most of all lovers, Valentine’s is the only day in the world when there is no excuse not to give and receive love.
This year, Ilustrado- a well-noted fine dining restaurant, nestled within the walls on Intramuros offers you more than the usual reasons to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Intimacy, ambiance and food suited only for an Ilustrado are among the top reasons why Valentine’s is extra special with us. An Ilustrado during the Spanish times were noted as the well-travelled, highly educated and enlightened ones. And today, vestiges of this rich colonial past can still be traced in the beautifully archaic walls of Ilustrado. The ambiance exudes of old-world charm, history and mystery and the undeniable air of romance. Intimacy is spoken before your eyes as you enter the short pebbled road, leading to the enamoring brick garden of Ilustrado with relics and trellis adorning the restaurant’s main façade. Such is enough to create the picture of the perfect Valentine’s dinner at Ilustrado. Hence on the evening of the 14th, guests will be treated to a stunning 6-course strictly prix fixe menu and a soothing serenade from soloist Camille. Ladies receive a red long stemmed rose and all happy Valentine gets a complimentary glass of Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Red or White Zinfandel.
