Restaurants are one of the most romantic date night possibilities out there, so whether you’re looking for an intimate candlelit dinner, a live music serenade, or an immersive sharing experience - you’re sure to find something that suits your tastes. But that’s not all. You’ll also find more unconventional Valentine’s Day events and activities from day trip excursions to swoon-worthy cookery classes and supper clubs.
Valentine’s Day is a popular cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love across the world. So popular in fact, that each year approximately 145 million greeting cards are exchanged - and that’s just in the US! But in the UK, our love extends beyond the human realm. One in five people purchase Valentine’s gifts for their pets, spending a total of £27 million each year. So we’ve made sure to fit in some options for dog-friendly Valentine’s Day restaurants.
Whether it’s the first ‘proper’ date, you’ve been together for years, or you’re searching for a place to celebrate Valentine's Day with a good friend, the choices can be utterly overwhelming. There are decisions to be made in all areas: gifts, evening dates, and chocolates. But whatever your partner's love language may be, the best way to a person’s heart is their stomach. And what better way to get there than a meal out where you don’t have to do the washing up? The only problem then, is managing to get your hands on a reservation. Fortunately, we’ve collated several restaurants with Valentine’s Day menus, affordable set menus, and tasting menus with wine flights so you can impress your date with ease.
