Dine with AQWA’s rich marine life watching
Aquarium dates can be very cute and romantic expressions of love. Tied with the excitement of relishing a meal while watching sharks glide by just 30 cm from one’s table; this is a spellbinding experience in AQWA’s underwater tunnel.
The meal consists of set three courses and select beverages with multiple options for the main. For the entrée, they serve a Middle Eastern inspired roasted eggplant with labneh, pine nuts, chill oil with spiced lamb.
For the mains, choose between chicken supreme, beef tenderloin, or roasted cauliflower. Finally, for the dessert, enjoy an orange blossom cheesecake on pistachio crumb with poached pear, honey drizzle, and crushed pistachio! All courses can be made vegetarian or vegan upon request (applying to the full meal), but this must be clarified during the booking.
Other Highlights
With this delightful dinner, one also gets the exclusive opportunity to roam around the aquarium after hours. Forgo the noisy crowds for wander among sea creatures and glorious exhibits for about 30 minutes, with just adults around.
