Melbourne, February— DOLLY, the underground French bistro and cocktail bar at Le Méridien Melbourne, will once again celebrate Valentine's Day with a considered lunch and dinner service on Saturday 14 February 2026.

Set beneath one of Melbourne's most historically layered sites, DOLLY has become known for its intimate scale, sculptural interiors and quietly confident approach to dining.

Each year, its Valentine's Day sittings attract couples looking for a refined experience that feels personal rather than performative.

For Valentine's Day 2026, guests will be offered a refined four-course menu by Executive Chef Hervé Borghini. Bordeaux-born and Michelin-trained, Borghini's cooking is grounded in classic French technique, with a modern bistro sensibility and a focus on seasonal produce.

A complimentary glass of G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut NV Champagne upon arrival begins the occasion with a sparkle.

The elegant menu that follows, starring bistro classics like the 260gm MB2 Porterhouse with potato mille-fuille, bone marrow and chimichurri, is designed to be savoured at an unhurried pace, encouraging conversation and lingering romantic moments.

Beyond dining, DOLLY has also emerged as one of Melbourne CBD's most sought-after settings for intimate weddings and ceremonies. The venue's spiral staircase, architectural and understated, has become a distinctive focal point for couples seeking a modern alternative to traditional aisles.

This is one of DOLLY's most in-demand dining dates— advanced reservations are essential.
