The best is to find yourself in a quiet establishment : after all, it's your evening to you two, run away from noisy places and where all the tables are glued to each other, so you can chat quietly and whisper sweet words. Another important criterion is location. The ideal is an address not too far from your home, so as to facilitate your return.

Prefer restaurants with romantic staging and subdued lighting with a musical atmosphere, or that offer exceptional panoramas. And why not have dinner in a luxury hotel , a castle or ... on a barge? What a truly unforgettable moment!

Which kitchens to focus on?

Almost as important as the choice of restaurant, that of the contents of your plate. Most establishments offer a special tasting dinner on the occasion of Valentine's Day celebrating noble products : champagne, lobster, truffles, Kobé beef ...
