The world of dating has changed rather markedly since online sites and apps burst onto the scene. No longer must we mingle with people that our friends insist are perfect for us, we can click and swipe and breeze through 20 prospective partners in a matter of minutes.

So you’ve only gone and organised a face-to-face real date and now you’re panicking, It was easy to do some spade work via text but now comes the hard bit – deciding where to meet up for your attempt at wooing the heck out of your potential squeeze.

We’re here to say relax, breathe, take the panic down a notch – HQ run the best ‘Date Night’ special in town and you can’t go wrong. Every Tuesday two people can settle in and grab a salad starter, HQ’s famous sirloin steak and thin-cut fries (don’t forget the signature Cafe De Paris butter either) and a glass of Wolftrap red wine each. You’re salivating just thinking about it, we get you, but then you realise you only have to fork out R250 for the whole shebang.

Where else in Cape Town can you walk away from a quality dinner washed down with a quality glass of wino for that price? You can’t, simple as that.

Of course it pays to keep the spark alive in a relationship that’s already up and running, many couples returning week in and week out to tuck into a steak in an elegant and funky setting.

Go on you smooth operator – we can’t comment on how good your game is but at the very least you’re going home well-fed.
