The Editor

This year, you both agreed: Valentine's dinner will be at home, in an intimate and cozy atmosphere. But to make this dinner a memorable evening for both you and your loved one, the menu must be a success! To delight you with dishes as delicious as they are romantic, the artisans of Lyon offer you their most beautiful creations...


The "Heart of Lyon" pâté en croûte by Montaland

Lyonnais know: between us and the pâté en croûte, it's a never-ending love story. This pastry charcuterie dish consists of a pâté cooked in a puff or shortcrust pastry, making it the perfect appetizer to awaken our senses before a gourmet meal. To offer this specialty on the menu while surprising your soulmate, the Montaland caterer offers a romantic twist with its Coeur de Lyon, a finalist in the world championship in 2014. Be careful: it's definitely not cheap, but they say when you love, cost doesn't matter...

The heart-shaped Neufchâtel from the Mons cheese dairy

Does your heart race at the simple mention of cheese? Well, just imagine this: to treat the heart and taste buds of your loved one, the excellent cheese shop Mons offers its heart-shaped Neufchâtel. A cheese with a slightly salty and creamy texture, just as we like it, there is no doubt that it will melt the heart of your beloved, especially if you pair it with a good red wine... You can thank us later.

Dorner Frères' Pink Dessert

Because food is first of all about the eyes, it is important to choose a dessert that is as beautiful as it is appetizing. To share this delicious moment for two, Dorner Frères offers you a dessert that is both romantic and sexy: a sumptuous red rose that hides a sweet pastry, a tequila-soaked biscuit, a lemon confit, and a choux filled with mango passion confit and vanilla ginger whipped ganache... The hardest part will be sharing it!

The essential bottle of Saint-Amour

You've chosen your menu, but don't know which wine to choose? Try the wine Saint-Amour! Fine and balanced with aromas of kirsch, spices, and mignonette, this Beaujolais cru with a tender and harmonious body is rooted in a vineyard in Saône et Loire. To make a lasting impression, go for the Saint-Amour from Domaine de la Pirolette: a wine with a gourmet nose of red fruits, and a fleshy and juicy mouth just right. No wonder no lover can resist it...
