Romance-Inducing Cafes

Match.com's Dating Event for Singles Has an Aphrodisiac-Inspired Menu

In order to encourage people to mingle both online and offline, Match.com set up a unique pop-up dating event for singles under the alluring name of the 'Aphrodisiac Café.'

The café in London's Soho Square features dishes by the Michelin star guest chef Pascal Aussignac, which diners can try absolutely for free. Londoners can visit the pop-up alone or with a date, and participants even have the chance to unlock a secret item on the menu by tweeting at @match_uk with the #matchcafe tag, where they will be sent a password through a direct message. Although there aren't a lot of details about the food that will be served at the Aphrodisiac Café, this just adds to the mystery and excitement of the event. However, diners can probably expect some known aphrodisiacs like chocolate and oysters to make an appearance.
