Where To Go on Valentine's Day in Melbourne
Valentine's Day! A time for lovers! You don't want to take your lover just anywhere, but somewhere where it's a bit romantic. Here are our recommendations -
Lulu Cafe and Gallery - North Melbourne
Lulu Cafe and Gallery is a place for lovers irrespective of Valentine's Day. It's one of the best places to take your lover anytime of the year. Of course Lulu herself was a compelling star of screen in the 1920s and an independent businesswoman.
Lulu in North Melbourne shines with its European style cafe during the day, it's amazing courtyard (a great place to chill with your lover), large front windows overlooking sexy Queensberry Street, and an appealing fresh authentic menu and excellent wine list. Breakfast and dinner are both alluring at Lulu, and the dinner menu (currently authentic rustic Greek) is also a must try. At night Lulu changes personality again and lovers enjoy the vibe in the courtyard after dark with dim lighting and romance of the foliage and decor.
For Valentine's Day itself Lulu has a near booked out Speed Dating event.
Grand Richmond - Richmond
Grand Richmond always puts on great events and this year is no exception. You will be highly impressed with the Italian cuisine and ambience at this Melbourne restaurant champion.

QV Outdoor Cinema and Ryan Gosling - CBD
As part of the QV Melbourne Outdoor Cinema activity, there is a very special Ryan Gosling themed week to celebrate Valentine's Day, with a screening of Crazy, Stupid Love to take place on Friday 10 Feb.
On-site will be a special Teeling Whiskey pop-up bar to serve up the Teeling Whiskey Old Fashioned free to cinema guests, just like Ryan Gosling makes in the movie.
Worth noting, you can sip on your Old Fashioned with a life size cut out of Ryan Gosling also at the cinema on Friday night!
