Set up & site
Valentine's Day is on a Wednesday this year and, luckily for our city's lovebirds, L'Assiette is well placed for a lingering morning repast before the day's work begins. Stroll hand in hand from the Britomart public transport hub to wander along the waterfront, leisurely window-shopping along the way. Take a seat outside L'Assiette to people-watch as office workers hustle their way to work on a sunny summer morning. Or nestle at a cosy little table for two inside and gaze into each other's eyes among the black-and-white photographs of old and new Paris and the aroma of fresh coffee. Big open doors open on to Britomart Place and allow a light cooling breeze inside. Choose your desired dish from the cute French-inspired menu already sitting on the table.
