Valentine’s, Sri Lankan Style: Love, Celebartion & Sharing Plates 🥥❤️

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all roses and heart shape chocolates. Sometimes, the best way to celebrate love is with good food, good times and good people.

At The Coconut Tree, we’re all about bringing people together the Sri Lankan way – sharing food from curries, sambols, kottu, to cocotails and making memories.

Made for the Table

Sri Lankan food is built for sharing. From passing around a bowl of dhal to (light-heartedly) fighting over the last hopper, it’s food that naturally brings people together. Valentine’s is the perfect excuse to order one extra dish, try something new, and turn dinner into an experience rather than a formality.

Whether it’s date night, Galentine’s or a celebration with people you love, our menus are designed for sharing, tasting, and discovering flavours together.

What Is Valentine’s Day, Anyway?

At its heart, Valentine’s Day is about celebrating connection – romantic or not. While it’s traditionally linked to couples, it’s evolved into a day for appreciating the people who matter most to you, whether that’s a partner, friends, or family. No rules, no pressure – just a reason to slow down and enjoy quality time together.

A Sri Lankan Take on Valentine’s

Valentine’s in Sri Lanka blends modern traditions with local culture. While cards, chocolates and dinners are popular, food plays a huge role in how people celebrate. Sharing meals, cooking for loved ones, and gathering with friends are just as important as romantic gestures.

A few things you might not know about Valentine’s in Sri Lanka:

• It’s widely celebrated in cities, but often in a more relaxed way
• Restaurants and cafés focus on shared dining rather than formal fine dining
• Valentine’s isn’t just for couples – friends and groups often celebrate together

So whether you’re planning something special or keeping it casual why not celebrate Valentine’s the Sri Lankan way – with authentic flavours, shared plates, and good vibes 🥥✨

Our Valentine’s Set Menu

The Coconut Tree’s Valentine’s set menu for £25pp includes a welcome Cocotail or Mocotail, three dishes, a side and a condiment it’s great for sharing with the people you love. And if you’re celebrating as a group of four or more (perfect for the girls, family, or anyone who believes Valentine’s isn’t just for couples), you’ll also get a free sharing Cocotail for the table if there is 4 or more of you that book a table.

Love the TCT team,

Happy Valentine’s
