Dinner date
A dinner date with your loved one? Sounds like a plan! Enjoy a delicious meal together, cooked with love. Restaurants Meddens, Emmanuelle, REX, Nannes, Roast, Chef aan de Werf, and Bij de Tuinman have their special Valentine’s menus ready and waiting. So, where will you be dining?
Movie night for two
Filmtheater Hilversum
Settle into the loveseats in the brand-new Boutique Screen and enjoy a timeless classic at Filmtheater Hilversum: Brokeback Mountain. In the mood for something new? Be moved by the fresh, original adaptation of one of the greatest love stories of all time: Wuthering Heights. Whichever film you choose, one thing is certain: love lights up the screen here.
A beautiful bouquet?
Red roses or a unique hand-picked bouquet made especially for your loved one? Stop by House of Bloomz. in Kerkelanden or Hessing Flowers in Seinhorst. You’re sure to find something beautiful that will make hearts melt.
Melting your heart like chocolate...
Who doesn’t love chocolate? You’ll find handmade and utterly irresistible chocolates at De Gooise Matras in the city centre. And at Olala Chocola on Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat, we completely fell in love with their little chocolate frogs and other heavenly sweet creations.
Even more to love
Hilversum’s shops are full of lovely gift ideas. Take a look at Kookwinkel Balthazar on Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat, for example. Here, you’ll find everything from heart-shaped candles to velvety soft wool roses.
