Their specially crafted three-course Valentine's Day menu is accompanied by a glass of Ivy Champagne and includes delicious offerings of Roasted Queen Scallops, Truffled Chicken Milanese, and the Ivy's signature Chocolate Bombe.
Rockfish Exeter
Fresh, local fish served up in a stunning location right next to the water on the Quayside - what's not to love about Rockfish Exeter. Amongst the bounty of incredible seafood, which includes hake, haddock, prawns and scallops, you could indulge in some oysters. They are considered to be an aphrodisiac after all.
The View at Courtyard
Take your love to new heights this Valentine's Day with The View Restaurant. A celebration of locally sourced suppliers, every dish on the menu tells a story and has been designed meticulously by Executive Chef Matt Mason.

Cosy Club
Three chapters. Two people. One table. Every great love story begins with a setting and Cosy Club provides the perfect romantic location this Valentine's Day.

On the Waterfront
Nestled on the edge of Exeter's historic quayside, love is in the air down down at On the Waterfront. If we had to pick our dream date menu then we'd start by getting a little saucy with the potato bravas, before sharing one of OTW's famed pizzas, and finish off with a rich chocolate pot for dessert. You'll also receive a welcome cocktail upon arrival.
