Discover unique Valentine’s Day experiences across the city, from buffet dinners to special roof-top meals and more.
Enjoy a scrumptious meal with your loved ones in Pune
Valentine’s Day 2026 redefines romance beyond scarlet clichés, with restaurants across India curating inclusive experiences that celebrate love’s many shades—companionship, slow connections, and playful bonds. This listicle spotlights thoughtful menus and events blending nostalgia, family-first vibes, and unhurried joy for Gen X, singles, third wheels, and couples alike.
Gather
This Valentine’s Day, Gather, an inclusive, family-first restaurant, introduces Saath + Saath, a first-of-its-kind, thoughtfully curated social experience for Gen X. While on the surface, each narrative is designed to be all-age inclusive, but when it comes to the older generation, those scarlet-brushed, high-octane, over-the-top celebrations often fall short of suitability. The restaurant is having a family-first event, designed specifically for singles in their 40s and above, divorcees, and those seeking meaningful connections in their prime years. Willfully called Saath + Saath, it explores emotions that hold deeper meaning for GenX and are much valued today, like companionship, meeting of kindred spirits, a new romantic spark, and a platonic connection that can build deep friendship.
Cobbler & Crew
Before love was instant, it took effort. It was spoken, carried, trusted, and written slowly. This Valentine’s Day, Cobbler & Crew takes guests back to a time when romance moved at its own pace, with a thoughtfully curated cocktail menu inspired by the earliest ways love found its way across distances. This limited-edition menu features four signature cocktails, each drawing inspiration from the oldest times such as palm leaf manuscripts, postcards, pigeons, and landlines. Together, the drinks pay tribute to a slower, more intentional era of connection, where emotion travelled through voice, patience, trust, and time.
Elephant & Co.
This Valentine’s Day, Elephant & Co. Pune is flipping the script and giving the spotlight to those who usually don’t get it; the third wheels. On 13th February, Humans of ECO invites guests to embrace the fun side of being the extra one designed especially for singles tagging along with couples. As part of the special, third wheels who arrive with a couple can enjoy bottomless beer for 60 minutes, making it a night that’s as entertaining as it is indulgent.
Paashh

Anchored in the philosophy of unhurried living, the space invites couples to slow down, savour mindful nourishment, and engage in conversations that aren’t rushed by the clock.
