Valentine’s Day calls for something memorable. Not rushed. Not ordinary. And definitely not last-minute chocolates from a petrol station.
This year, Bertha’s Restaurant invites couples to celebrate love properly — with a beautifully curated three-course dining experience designed for sharing, savouring, and staying just a little longer than planned.
For only R650 per couple, guests can enjoy an indulgent menu crafted to impress from the very first bite.
- The meal begins with a choice of starters that set the tone perfectly. The Trio of Canapés features a grilled queen prawn paired with a smoked salmon rose and a cream cheese-filled peppadew — elegant, flavourful, and unmistakably romantic. Alternatively, the Spanish Avocado Gazpacho offers a refreshing chilled avocado soup served with cauliflower bread topped with Grana Padano cheese — a light yet luxurious introduction to the evening.
- For mains, the romance continues. The Kingklip Thermador delivers a seafood lover’s dream: grilled kingklip topped with garlic, grilled mushrooms, prawns, and mussels — a dish that celebrates bold coastal flavours. Prefer red meat? The Chargrilled Fillet is a classic choice, featuring succulent beef topped with roasted and marinated peppers, served with rosemary roast potatoes and a sauce of choice. Comforting, refined, and deeply satisfying.
- And then, of course, dessert — because no Valentine’s celebration is complete without something sweet. Couples can indulge in a rose-infused crème brûlée served with vanilla ice cream, or enjoy chocolate-coated strawberries with cream — a timeless symbol of romance on a plate.
It’s about atmosphere. It’s about lingering conversations, clinking glasses, and creating a memory worth repeating. The setting, the flavours, and the thoughtful touches all come together to offer couples a celebration that feels both intimate and special.
For those looking to surprise someone they love, impress a first date, or simply celebrate years of shared memories, Bertha’s provides the perfect backdrop. Because love deserves more than ordinary — and at Bertha’s, Valentine’s Day is anything but. Bookings are highly recommended.
