A Romantic Valentine’s Day Brunch for Two

Romantic Valentine's Day table for two

Surrounded by the comforts of home and a blushing tabletop, sweethearts meet by the fireplace for a meal of savory crêpes, thyme-flecked hash browns, yogurt-and-granola trifles, candied grapefruit, and Blood Orange Mimosas.

Floral china and crystal wineglasses set on a table with vintage postcards for A Romantic Valentine's Day Brunch

Enjoy a Valentine’s Day brunch with special someone, setting a hearthside table with an eye for vintage beauty. A pink linen with a subtle sheen lays the foundation for floral china, crystal glasses etched with blooms, and gold flatware. Affectionate missives and gifts wrapped in pretty paper complete the scene alongside rose bouquets and scattered petals.

Morning Menu

A bright tumble of asparagus ribbons and shaved watermelon radish tops crêpes filled with prosciutto and cheese, accompanied by Thyme Hash Brown Cakes. Yogurt and rhubarb trifles feature a satisfying granola of hazelnuts, oats, pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, and coconut.

Sweet Treats

Clink glasses with a celebratory sipper of prosecco, blood orange liqueur, and fresh juice, a refreshing complement to the delicious breakfast spread. Candied grapefruit dipped in white chocolate sweetens the occasion all the more.
