10 amazing restaurants for Valentine’s Day 2017

When it comes to romance, the French tend to know what they’re doing, so what better way to pull out all the stops than with the height of French cuisine at La Chapelle, an incredibly romantic venue. For Valentine’s Day Jeff Galvin has designed a three-course menu for £110, including both canapés and rosé Champagne to start and handmade chocolates at the end.

You can't get much more impressive than Raymond Blanc's magnificent ode to French cuisine in the Oxfordshire countryside. With two Michelin stars a meal here doesn't come cheap, but it's certainly one you (and your loved one) will remember for the rest of your life.

Alyn Williams’ Valentine’s menu looks absolutely fantastic and would be a real treat for any food lover. The menu includes a full seven courses for £90, with poached and roasted guinea fowl, confit cod and aerated white chocolate with passion fruit on offer.

For the most trendy British food at the moment, Robin Gill’s cooking at The Dairy is hard to beat. Any tasting menu that includes truffled cheese, sika deer and Yorkshire rhubarb is sure to be a winner with any date, especially at £65.

Curries and kebabs for Valentine’s Day? Definitely. Adding a bit of spice to Valentine’s this year, Vivek Singh’s newly revamped Cinnamon Club is offering a £75 five-course set menu which includes both, alongside ‘Sweet Juno’ cocktails.

The ability to not fight over the last croquetas or slice of charcuterie is surely a sign of true love, and at José Pizarro there are plenty of sharing platters full of the stuff. Spend the evening there with a few glasses of wine and discover just how romantic Spanish food can be.

Tom Aikens’ teams at the Chelsea, Canary Wharf and St Katharine Docks restaurants have gone the whole hog this year, with a sharing menu that includes venison tartare, Cumbrian chateaubriand and a Maltesers ice cream sundae to devour as a pair, plus some special cocktails to sip, too.

If sweet things are the only way to woo your loved one, then the sharing desserts at HIX, Hixter and Tramshed are sure to induce sugary palpitations. How could anyone refuse a salted caramel fondue with strawberries, marshmallows and doughnuts?

If you’re after breathtaking coastal views, Michelin-starred dining and five-star luxury, then The Atlantic Hotel on the beautiful island of Jersey is just the ticket. They’re offering a tasting menu for £85 (£135 with wine), including his famous rice-less Jersey squid risotto and a very special local cheeseboard.
