Although Kim Kardashian is currently single, chances are that if she was dating, the ex-wife of Kanye West would be spending her Valentine’s Day at a luxurious hotel or restaurant, sampling equally as luxurious food.

If she was in the UK for Valentine’s Day tomorrow, Kim Kardashian would be likely to spend it at The Connaught hotel in London as she is a fan of the hotel, alongside former husband Kanye and Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow. The restaurant to go to at the hotel is undoubtedly Hélène Darroze at The Connaught, which has three Michelin stars.

The Valentine’s Day Menu at Hélène Darroze is priced at £395 per adult and consists of seven courses. To start there is Caviar, followed by Foie Gras, XXL Scallop, John Dory, Pigeon Pithivier, Vacherin Mont D’Or and Forced Rhubarb.

Elsewhere in London for £395 per adult, you can enjoy a meal at The Ritz. The dishes on the main menu feature an Amuse Bouche, Native Lobster with Avocado and Bergamot, Fillet of Turbot with cauliflower, Champagne and caviar, Tournedos of Beef ‘Rossini’ or Fallow Deer, followed by a Raspberry and Rose Crousitallant and then teas, and coffee. A vegetarian menu is also available.

Another luxurious setting for Valentine’s Day in the UK is Cliveden House in Taplow, Berkshire. The hotel, which was built in 1666 by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham as a gift to his mistress, has seen many rich and famous faces visit over the years. One such person is Meghan Markle who stayed the night there with her mother Doria Ragland before her wedding to Prince Harry.
