A Love Story Across Borders: Four Hands Event at Minoa this Valentine’s Day
This Valentine’s Day, Minoa Mediterranean Fusion in Qawra invites guests to celebrate love through an experience that goes far beyond the traditional romantic dinner. On 14 February, the restaurant will host a special Four Hands dining event, bringing together Chef Zohair, Minoa’s resident culinary force, and Chef Petra, a guest chef from Romania’s Plai Restaurant, for a one-night-only collaboration built on creativity, cultural exchange, and shared passion.
A “Four Hands” dinner is more than a menu—it is a dialogue between chefs. In this case, it is a conversation between the warmth and refinement of Mediterranean cuisine and the depth, comfort, and character of Romanian culinary traditions. Each dish is the result of two perspectives working side by side, blending techniques, ingredients, and stories into plates that feel both unexpected and deeply harmonious.
At the heart of the evening is the idea of connection. Valentine’s Day is, after all, about coming together—whether as partners, friends, or lovers of food. This collaboration mirrors that sentiment perfectly. Chef Zohair’s approach, known for its balance, elegance, and Mediterranean soul, meets Chef Petra’s expressive style and Eastern European influences. The result is a menu designed to be experienced slowly, thoughtfully, and with curiosity.
Set within the intimate atmosphere of Minoa Mediterranean Fusion, the evening promises a sense of occasion without pretension. Guests can expect a carefully curated multi-course experience that celebrates flavour, seasonality, and technique, while remaining approachable and warm. This is not about excess, but about intention—each dish crafted to tell a story and evoke emotion, much like love itself.
The Valentine’s Four Hands event is also a celebration of travel and shared heritage. Food has a unique way of crossing borders, and this collaboration highlights how different culinary cultures can meet at the table in meaningful ways. Mediterranean freshness intertwines with Romanian richness, creating a dining experience that feels both grounded and adventurous.
With limited seating available, the event is designed to feel personal and exclusive, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the experience. It’s an invitation to step away from routine, to slow down for an evening, and to reconnect—over food that has been created with care, collaboration, and heart. The event is at €75 per person and includes the culinary fusion 6-course tasting menu, welcome drink, wine, water and hot beverages. A vegetarian menu is also available. Complimentary parking is also offered and is subject to availability and on a first come first serve basis.
Whether you are celebrating a long-standing love, a new connection, or simply your appreciation for exceptional cuisine, this Valentine’s Day at Minoa offers something truly special. It is a reminder that some of the most memorable moments happen around a table, where flavours, stories, and people come together.
On 14 February, Minoa Mediterranean Fusion becomes the setting for a culinary love story written by four hands—and shared with those who choose to join.
