Valentine’s dinner date at Thirteen, Chateau Denmark

At the centre of the evening sits something singular.

“One Night Only” is the newly launched dining series hosted in Thirteen, the award-winning club inside Chateau Denmark. Created as a one-off experience, the series is built around the idea of moments rather than menus, evenings rather than services, and presence rather than performance. For Valentine’s evening in London, this becomes a dinner date that feels designed for the night itself.

The menu draws on global influences and paired produce, moving between familiarity and surprise. From a reworking of the Italian sweet classic cannoli to a contemporary interpretation of lobster salad, the evening is built around contrast, imagination and connection.
