The best date restaurants in London
What makes a restaurant romantic? Of course, it depends on who you’re asking. Candles, cosy alcoves, the right music and, of course, delectable food are a good start. What about open fires, stunning views and even aphrodisiacs?
Here's our pick of the city’s most romantic restaurants so you can decide for yourself.
Launceston Place
A little off the beaten track, LP is a beautifully understated and alluring 19th century townhouse decorated in shades of powder grey with gorgeous artwork. Chef Ben Murphy is one of the capital’s youngest rising stars and his food is complex and arresting. For a serious date who loves to talk foo, indulge in the eight-course tasting menu with wine pairing, starting with a playful truffled ‘egg & soldiers’ and encompassing: brill with verjus and turnip; octopus, chorizo and chicken wing; finishing with a chocolate, yuzu and sesame dessert. The cosseting service is also sure to win you (and your date) over.
Price: £200.00 dinner for two including wine
