Valentine’s Day at Maison Delano Paris: a declaration of love in a bubble under the stars
As Valentine’s Day approaches, Paris is decked out in its finest attire: twinkling lights, evening strolls, timeless elegance. To celebrate this holiday dedicated to love, Delano Paris imagines an intimate, refined and deeply gastronomic experience. In February 2026, the Delano Café becomes the setting for an exceptional dinner orchestrated by chef Paolo Minelli and his teams, conceived as a veritable culinary declaration.
La Maison Delano Paris, a confidential setting in the heart of Paris
Ideally located between the Place de la Concorde, the Madeleine and the gardens of the Champs-Élysées, the Maison Delano Paris embodies a contemporary vision of Parisian luxury. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main boulevards, the hotel cultivates a hushed, almost secretive atmosphere, where every detail is designed to offer an exclusive experience.
The Delano Café, with its open kitchen dressed in midnight-blue earthenware and its string of elegant rooms surrounding a typically Parisian inner courtyard, is the vibrant heart of it all. It’s a place to linger, observe the precise ballet of the kitchens and let yourself be carried away by the warm, sophisticated ambience. On Valentine’s Day, this jewel box is transformed into a romantic refuge, ideal for confidences and suspended moments.
Valentine’s Day under the stars, even in winter
For lovers in search of absolute intimacy, Maison Delano Paris offers a rare experience in Paris: dining in one of four bubbles installed in the garden since winter. Heated and decorated with plaids and candles, they offer a timeless tête-à-tête under the stars in the heart of February.
This bold, poetic concept makes Valentine’s Day an enchanted interlude, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether savoring the menu in one of these bubbles or inside the Delano Café, the experience promises an enveloping atmosphere, where romance meets gastronomic excellence.
Paolo Minelli, an exceptional diner, a sensitive and committed cuisine
Chef Paolo Minelli is at the helm of this unique evening, with a three-part menu created especially for Valentine’s Day. Awarded two Ecotable stars and a Maître Restaurateur distinction, the chef’s cuisine is seasonal, responsible and deeply inspired by his Mediterranean origins.
For this occasion, he proposes to “see the plate in pink”, playing with colors, textures and emotions. Upon arrival, a complimentary glass of champagne accompanies a delicate amuse-bouche, the prelude to a culinary score that is both refined and generous.
Starters include an Emerald Coast scallop carpaccio, enhanced by Chioggia beet, blackcurrant coulis and crispy millet, or a perfect egg with purple cauliflower purée, Piedmont hazelnuts and verjuice grapes. Elegant compositions, where the balance of flavors and the precision of cooking reveal all the chef’s savoir-faire.
For the main course, diners can choose between steamed cod, raspberry lacquered, served with a Cévennes sweet onion soubise and a pink berry daikon emulsion, or a quasi de veau confit, accompanied by a beet and kumquat velouté and a Jura wine “sous-bois” blend. Two proposals that perfectly illustrate the company’s philosophy: clear, elegant, but never demonstrative gastronomy.
After a fresh predessert – a rose and grapefruit granita – the dinner ended on a poetic note with the creation “Fleur de l’amour”, imagined by sous-chef pâtissier Enzo Ohayon. A symbolically delicate and sensual dessert to conclude an evening dedicated to feelings.
Extend the experience with a night at Maison Delano Paris
For couples wishing to extend this exceptional moment, the Maison Delano Paris offers the possibility of transforming Valentine’s Day into a true romantic getaway. Spending the night in one of the hotel’s rooms or suites allows you to fully savor the atmosphere of the place, between contemporary elegance and Parisian art de vivre.
Upon awakening, the sweetness of a refined breakfast brings this romantic interlude to a close, leaving the memory of a Valentine’s Day dedicated to gastronomy, discreet luxury and emotion.
A romantic stroll around the Maison Delano Paris
Valentine’s Day at the Maison Delano Paris is also an opportunity to rediscover one of the capital’s most elegant districts. Before or after dinner, an evening stroll is a must. The illuminated Place de la Concorde offers an enchanting and deeply glamorous spectacle, perfect for an escapade for two.
From here, it’s a pleasant walk up Rue Royale or stroll to Place de la Madeleine, through a nocturnal Paris steeped in history and romance. Haussmann façades, majestic vistas and the relative calm of the night create the ideal backdrop for prolonging the magic of the evening.
