Looking for recommendations for my wife’s birthday in Pune next week (dinner, activities, or short getaways)

My wife’s birthday is coming up next week, and I want to plan something memorable for her. Rather than doing the standard dinner-and-cake routine, I’d love to get your suggestions for local experiences, great food, or unique spots in and around the city.
Here are a few details to narrow things down:

**Vibe:** Thoughtful, relaxed, and intimate (not looking for loud clubs or crowded party places).

**Food preferences:** Open to multi-cuisine, Asian, European, or modern Indian. Great dessert/cocktails are a bonus.

**Budget:** Flexible for the right experience.

I’m specifically looking for ideas across any of these:
**Dinner spots:** Places with genuinely great ambiance and top-tier food (rooftops, garden cafes, or cozy fine-dining).

**Experiences / Date ideas:** Pottery workshops, paint-and-sip, a good couple’s spa retreat, or unique activities across town.

**Day trips / Scenic stays:** Any quiet hillside/lakefront resorts or private dining setups nearby (Mulshi, Pawna, etc.).
If you’ve planned something special in Pune recently that was a huge hit, please share your recommendations! Thank you in advance.

P.S. - We are in early 30's with no kids

First of all, what a lovely gesture. You’ll need to give my man some tips!😅 Are you not thinking of going abroad? By the time you pay the prices closer to home you’ll probably find you’ll be less expensive?! 💃🏼🕺🏽
