Valentine’s Day should be an indulgence marathon. Even if you don’t celebrate the greeting card holiday, take it upon yourself to get in on the gluttony this February. If you’re avoiding restaurants and their bloated tasting menus, but also not interested in cooking a meal from scratch, Goldbelly has a lineup of Valentine’s Day-ready eats and sweets that’ll make for a delicious and hassle-free day.
And if you’re thinking it’s a strange idea to order cakes and steaks online, know that Goldbelly has packing and sending gourmet food down to a science. I’ve ordered more desserts than I’d care to share and full barbecue dinners from Goldbelly. They always arrive in excellent shape with meticulous instructions on how to heat or serve them.
From heart-shaped steak dinners and DIY sushi (some cooking required) to cookies, cakes, bagels and bread pudding, these are the 11 best Valentine’s Day eats to order on Goldbelly this year.

This is as impossible a year as ever to bag a Valentine’s Day reservation. And even if you could, you may not want to. Score this heart-inspired steak dinner for two from Chesapeake Gay Gourmet instead and bring the romance home. In this V-Day dinner bundle, you’ll get two USDA prime heart-shaped filet mignons, a pair of gluten-free Maryland crab cakes and fluffy red velvet cake for dessert.
If you’re worried about cooking a filet, don’t be. Just get a cast-iron skillet or regular frying pan scorching hot, cook it a few minutes on each side and finish with some melted butter over the top. Done.

Gramercy Tavern in New York has a few signature dishes, but the mushroom lasagna is right up there with the best of them. For a plant-based dinner, you can have the creamy, earthy pasta treat sent to your door to be defrosted, warmed and eaten on Valentine’s Day.
