Hanoi enticing lovers for Valentine’s Day

Hanoi’s chocolate makers, flower shops, and restaurants are enticing lovers with a range of products and services for this year’s Valentine’s Day.

The IVY Chocolate shop has introduced varieties of self-designed and imported chocolate with prices listed at VND20,000 per small piece.

The BelCholat in Tue Tinh Street sells exclusive chocolate varieties suitable for Valentine’s Day with flexible prices ranging from hundred of thousands to millions of VND.

Its promotions include a complimentary chocolate box with any purchase.

The proprietor of Moc flower shop in Ba Trieu Street said the number of Valentine’s Day orders is comparable to previous years.

She said her shop has received orders worth millions of VND, including some sent by women to their boyfriends.

Her shop plans on selling 7,000–8,000 red roses over Valentine’s Day at VND10,000 and VND20,000 each.

Most of Hotel Metropole Hanoi’s restaurants allow customers to book a table for Valentine’s dinner at VND1.7 million–VND3.3 million per person excluding service charges and tax. The most desired seating has already been reserved.

The situation is the same at Mondo Gelato in Ba Trieu Street. Only 10 tables remain available for booking

Last year, the entirety of the restaurant’s two storeys was fully booked and some couples had to be turned away.

This year, Mondo Gelato offered two different table packages at VND749,000 and VND999,000 per couple (plus a 10 percent service charge).
