What to Order for Two: A Date-Night Menu Guide
Sharing is half the fun of dinner for two, and the menu is built for it. Here is one way to plan the evening, course by course:
To Start: Oysters or the Mezze Platter
Oysters come plain, Vietnamese style, or wrapped in gold as the Million Dollar Oyster. The Mezze Platter puts chicken livers, trinchado, calamari, and halloumi on one board.
To Share: Tomahawk or the Seafood Platter for 2
The 800-gram Tomahawk ribeye is flame-grilled and served with seasoned fries. The Seafood Platter for 2 brings langoustines, queen prawns, a baby lobster, mussels, calamari, and line fish.
For Vegetarian Couples: Melanzane and the Vegetable Curry
Melanzane pairs brinjal with red pepper, mushrooms and cottage cheese under a walnut pesto. The Mozambican vegetable and chickpea curry comes with basmati rice, papadam and sambals.
To Finish: Chocolate Fondant or Crème Brûlée
The fondant arrives with salted caramel ice cream, and the crème brûlée has a torched sugar top. Order one of each and swap halfway.
Planning the Evening: Before and After Dinner
A date night rarely starts and ends at the table. Villamoura’s spot on Sheikh Zayed Road makes the rest of the evening easy to plan:
Before
Before dinner, walk The Dubai Mall or watch the Dubai Fountain, then cross to the hotel by the air-conditioned skywalk.
Arrive
Arriving by metro, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station is right next to the hotel.
Dinner
After dinner, stay for dessert and mint tea, or order shisha if you are both adults who enjoy it.
After
Driving home? Valet at the hotel entrance keeps the car close.
Tell us your plans when you book, and we can suggest a time that works. A table set for the occasion is waiting when you arrive.
Who a Villamoura Date Night Suits, and When to Book Elsewhere
Villamoura suits couples who want a warm room, generous plates to share, and a menu with range, from lobster to Chooza. It suits anniversaries and birthdays too; mention the occasion when you book, and the team can set the table for it. It is not the place for a paired tasting menu, since the drinks list is alcohol-free and we do not advertise a set romantic menu. We have not listed a separate private dining room, so a private romantic dinner in Dubai here means a quieter table, not a closed room. Weekend evenings are livelier, so an earlier weekday booking suits couples who want calm. Coming from the shops first? Our restaurant near Dubai Mall page explains the skywalk route from the mall to our door.
