Love at first sight is passe and its relevance is always open for debate. Now love at first bite is something that the majority can get with, and what better day to do so than Valentine's?

Breakfast in bed and some pillow talk are always great options and so are romantic brunches, drunches, and candlelit dinners.

The price for the meal hasn't been announced and will vary location-wise.
