Nobody can deny that planning for dining out during a global pandemic is a little complicated. Making sure to book a place way ahead of time due to restaurant capacity limitations, wearing a mask and following other health regulations could be tricky, especially for Valentine’s Day.
Another option is having a romantic meal at home. Set a nice and private area at home where you can relax and enjoy a peaceful moment. Let your imagination fly with small decoration touches and set the ambiance for a memorable celebration. Don’t forget to include a bouquet of flowers and candles.

There are some dipping sauces like hot sauce, jalapeño ranch sauce and Italian tomato sauce that provide extra flavour to the empanadas. If you are feeling adventurous, you can try the Argentinian Chimichurri sauce. The main ingredients of the Chimichurri sauce are parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes and red wine vinegar.
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day. <3
