Top 10 london restaurants to wine & dine your valentine

Wondering where to take your Valentine’s? Well, being both an avid foodie and a Londoner, I have the insiders track to the top London restaurants for your date. Most options are slightly off the beaten track and dare I say it… better than the typical hot spots in central London that will no doubt be bustling with other lovestruck couples.

Below, I’ve broken down the key features of these must-go eateries and taken a stab at what types of couples (simplistically so) would most enjoy what. But in my opinion, Valentine’s Day or not, all these restaurants are well worth a visit for anyone and everyone. So, in no particular order…

Taverna Trastevere , St John’s Hill

Cue Lady and Tramp for this showstopping Italian. Routinely rated as one of the top restaurants in London for Carbonara, this traditionally styled Trattoria boasts truly genuine and utterly delicious Italian food. Authentic in every way, Taverna Trastevere’s menu is split into antipasti, primi, secondi, contorni, and of course dessert – and with mouthwatering options in each section, this is for the couple who can put away food without breaking a sweat. With the restaurant’s only other location in Milan, this is the best (and cheaper) alternative to a romantic Italian getaway.
