Love blindly: WOW’s motto for Valentine’s Day

On February 14th, the watchwords at WOW are “love blindly”: this is the theme of the special chocolate tasting workshop, which will blindfold lovers and make them use their taste buds as a guide.

But there is also a romantic dinner with live music, several menu options in the restaurants in the cultural quarter and the guarantee of a late night with hot rhythms at the Angel’s Share wine bar.

On Valentine’s Day, WOW offers several options to mark this special date. A complete program that can start at 7 pm and end at 2 am, passing through several spaces in the cultural quarter of Gaia. In each of them, at least one of the senses will be put to the test: it depends on the intensity of the experiences… and the love! Always, of course, in an environment conducive to romance, thanks to the superb views of Porto and the Douro River, which are the perfect setting for dating… the city and beyond.

For those who like adventure
This is a challenge for two, in a sensory experience that involves mystery, sharing and pleasure for two. “Love is blind” is a workshop that takes place blindfolded and with heightened senses, in which the couple will guide each other and savour this tasting of ten chocolates. After all, love may be blind, but taste doesn’t deceive!

It takes place on the 14th, from 7 pm to 8:15 pm and is repeated on the 15th, from 6 pm to 7:15 pm. The activity takes place at the WOW Gallery (in the central square) and starts with a welcome drink.

For those who bet on romanticism
If the evening aims to whisper vows of love, WOW proposes a romantic dinner with live music played on the piano. At the VP restaurant, a pre-set menu, with couvert, starters, two main courses, desserts, chocolates and drinks, will comfort your stomach and sweeten your palate. In a climate full of romanticism, the idea is to let music express what words cannot.

For those who value cooking
At WOW, there’s a restaurant for every half-stomach! Pip opens the menu with rosemary focaccia, then moves on to cod tartar and a piece of veal, and ends with an exotic fruit dessert. 1828 is ideal for those who enjoy intense flavours, with cod with broad beans and beef ribs as main dishes, in a complete menu and properly paired with national wines.

Golden Catch and Root & Vine offer a menu rich in seafood flavours: oysters, crab, scallops and sea bass are the stars of the evening. T&C is a sure thing for couples who love traditional food: couvert with cheese, salpicão, orelheira, flaked cod with yellow cornbread crust, rump steak with asparagus and island cheese and finally a vanilla mousse with Vinte Vinte white chocolate. Mira Mira will delight the most refined couples, with a menu that will serve ceviche, confit cod and filet mignon, perfectly finished off with a pavlova with raspberry and lychee textures.

Among the offerings, just explore the possibilities and ensure that the menu contributes to a memorable experience for two. Reservations are recommended in all restaurants and can be made online, by email at book@wow.pt or by telephone at 220 943 807.

For those who enjoy music
Since the beginning of 2025, Angel’s Share bar has always had live music on Friday and Saturday nights. On this Valentine’s Day, the musical chords could not be hotter: African rhythms by Klaudio Hoshai, an Angolan singer who is responsible for the musical curation of these nights at the wine bar in the cultural quarter. Morna, funaná, kizomba and semba, invite you to dance sensually, in this perfect place for passionate toasts and with the most romantic view of all time. And anyone who dines at WOW restaurants gets a 10% discount on the Angel’s Share menu: just show your dinner receipt.

WOW
At WOW there are also several possibilities for the perfect gift. It is possible to offer tickets to any of the museums in the cultural quarter or a wine experience at the Wine School. For those who like to go all out on the classics, there is Vinte Vinte artisanal chocolate made with passion in Porto. But for the bold, creative and with a good sense of humour, perhaps the perfect “quack” can be found at the Duck Store: with love expressed in yellow rubber duckies. Finally, in the Cultural Quarter’s online store, there are a multitude of possibilities, from jewellery to fashion items.
