With an all-fondue menu and minimal, Moroccan-inspired decor鈥攖eeny mosaic-tiled tables, satin cushions, a few candles and gauzy drapes鈥攖his inconspicuous spot practically oozes romance. This Valentine's Day, Fondue ups the ante with scattered rose petals and a prix fixe menu meant for two.

The Lower East Side's best and coziest wine bar, Punch %26amp; Judy is bathed in an amber glow and decked out with deep, dark red couches to compliment all that vin rouge. Their chocolate fondue, a decadent dessert staple, will be part of a special Valentine's prix fixe for two.

DYLAN PRIME
62 Laight St., at Greenwich St., 212-334-4783; dylanprime.com
Yes, it's a steakhouse, but Dylan Prime is also home to noteworthy cheese fondues. Served on a lazy susan, the fondue is intended as a starter for hungry groups of 4 to 6 persons, looking for something to nibble while picking out entrees and appetizers. Though there are no fondues just for two, the romantic restaurant and lounge's floor-to-ceiling windows, wine bottle displays, and candlelight are certainly couple-friendly. And while we can't make any promises, we hear that a chocolate dessert fondue may be added in time for Valentine's.
鈥?Cheeses: A mix of Pierre Robert, gruyere, white cheddar, gorgonzola, and taleggio. Served with apples, french onions, and bread. Cheese fondue, $16. With beef on the side, $23.

Swiss and Austrian fare鈥攊ncluding five types of fondue for two鈥攎ake up the menu at this reliable Theater District old-timer. Here, patrons are mainly middle-aged and the dining setup is traditional: red and white tablecloths, mini clusters of coordinating flowers, and rustic touches. There's no Valentine's menu, but you can treat yourselves to the raclette, a cheese dish which arrives with a melt-it-yourself grill.
鈥?Cheeses: A blend of imported gruyere, ementhauler, brie, and Swiss cheeses, $39; raclette $40.
鈥?Seafood: Shrimp, scallops, salmon, and tilapia. $42.
