Win a Romantic Valentine’s Dinner at Seapoint Restaurant

February 3rd, 2012 No comments

 

Fixx Coffee is delighted to have teamed up with Seapoint Restaurant to create a truly romantic and memorable experience for one lucky couple this Valentine’s Day.

Set in an idyllic location, a candlelit dinner of sensuous food and fine wine at the modern and stylish Seapoint Restaurant promises to deliver an intimate and special evening together. 

Seapoint Restaurant is a laid back, pale schemed sophisticate surf shack…just missing the surf boards pitched outside.  The clean lines, wooden floors and pale colouring with high points of deep blue reflect its seafood ethos.  It is all about the love of the sea and the bounty it provides.  Located in sunny Monkstown, Co. Dublin this south side eatery is open seven days a week offering light lunches and meals throughout the day-time and romantic evening dining. The fully licenced restaurant bar has an excellent range of wines, beers and cocktails as well as serving wonderful Fixx Coffee.  Check out Seapoint Restaurant’s facebook page.
