This Valentine’s Day, whilst the city buzzes and the card shops have queues around the block, smuggle your date away to Sixtyone for a romantic evening of sumptuous food, creative cocktails and bespoke chocolates. There’s even the chance to win an exquisite pair of Monica Vinader diamond earrings, just by simply ordering dessert.
Sixtyone is situated in Upper Berkeley Street and described itself as a 'neighbourhood restaurant' slightly hidden away in an area of Marylebone just north of the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street. It is part of the Montcalm Hotel, and has its own smart designated restaurant entrance.
It opened its doors just over a year ago and Chef Patron Arnaud Stevens, formerly executive head chef at the Gherkin, in partnership with his protégée head chef Killian Lynch, has already celebrated receiving 3 AA rosettes and has received plenty of plaudits for the menu at Sixtyone which is full of big bold flavours, inspired by old world French cooking using the best of British seasonal ingredients.
For Valentine's Day kick things off with an expertly mixed, signature cocktail or a crisp glass of Champagne in Searcy’s seductive Champagne Bar. In Sixtyone’s relaxed dining room you can enjoy a three-course feast to delight the senses with a glass of Balfour Rose (£49.) Designed by Chef Arnaud, starters include a creamy cauliflower velouté with duck egg and black truffle, for mains there’s a juicy fillet of beef or perfectly cooked piece of sea bream and a light and fruity rhubarb, white chocolate and passion fruit dessert.
This Valentine’s, Sixtyone have teamed up with British luxury jewellery brand Monica Vinader, to offer diners the chance of winning one of three pairs of stunning Riva Diamond Hoop Earrings in 18ct rose gold vermeil, worth £290. With a celebrity following including Emma Watson and the Duchess of Cambridge, Monica Vinader’s contemporary designs set hearts racing, so rest assured your Valentine will be more than impressed.
All you have to do to be in with the chance of winning a pair is order the Rhubarb dessert on February 14, and if cupid is on your side, the earrings will be presented with your dessert.
That’s not all, Sixtyone’s master chocolatier John Grantham has created eight, limited edition wooden boxes filled with delectable hand-made chocolates that can be all yours for just £20. Order this elegant gift a week in advance and have a bespoke message inscribed on the box for your valentine – the perfect finishing touch to a very special evening at Sixtyone.
