This February, Spanish restaurant Las Flores turns Valentine’s dining into a full sensory experience with “Love in Bloom,” a four-course menu designed to celebrate meaningful connections through food, setting, and shared moments.
Available across all branches starting Feb. 6 at P2,395 per person, the limited offering goes beyond a traditional date-night spread.
Created by Executive Sous Chef Pablo Ramirez, the menu balances heritage Spanish flavors with a lighter, more contemporary approach, mirroring the restaurant’s signature blend of old-world inspiration and modern dining culture.
“For this menu, I revisited heritage Spanish flavors like crema catalana, not to replicate them, but to reinterpret them with a lighter hand and modern sensibility,” Ramirez shared.
Presented as a food tour through Spain, the experience progresses dish by dish. It begins with salpicon de mariscos, a cold seafood tapas mixed with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and lemon vinaigrette, an opening that establishes a lively and refreshing atmosphere for the night.
The croqueta de manchego follows, crafted with delicate precision and paired with local spinach and aioli, offering a balance of crisp texture and creamy richness.
For the main course, the spotlight turns to iberico secreto, a marbled cut of Iberico pork shoulder pan-seared in butter. Served with roasted cauliflower purée and chimichurri sauce, the dish delivers depth while maintaining a refined finish.
Dessert arrives in the form of a reimagined crema catalana, infused with gently burnt local orange and lemon for a zesty contrast that closes the meal on a lighter note.
Enhancing the atmosphere further are optional cocktail pairings such as the limoncello spritz and hula-hula, vibrant drinks designed to complement the progression of flavors.
Located in the cozy, European-style setting of Las Flores, the experience encourages couples, families, and close friends to relax and celebrate by talking and enjoying shared dishes. The restaurant’s cross-regional Spanish menu underscores the feeling of traveling through Spain without leaving the metro.
