Anniversary Dinner in Alibaug: How to Make the Evening Work

← Back to the blog

An anniversary dinner away from the city is a good idea. A few things make the difference.

Time it around sunset

Book so you are seated before the sun goes down. The hour before sunset on this coast is the part you will remember, and it is easy to miss by booking an hour too late.

Tell them it is an anniversary

Not for a free dessert — so the table you get is not next to the kitchen door. Mention it when you book, not when you arrive.

Think about the noise

Saturdays here mean live music, which is wonderful if you want atmosphere and wrong if you want to hear each other. Pick your night deliberately.

What to order

Anniversary dinners suit sharing. The Seafood Platter for two is built for it. If you would rather each have your own, the Lobster Thermidor is the occasion dish.

Start with a cocktail while the light goes.

If you are staying nearby

Many people book a villa for the night. Worth knowing you can eat here without being a hotel guest — we do villa guest dining for exactly this.
