Romantic dining destinations for your Valentine’s night out 
Salt Pig
An elegant café-restaurant with a European feel, Salt Pig is tucked away on lovely Green street. Snuggle up on the comfy banquettes and feast on indulgent classics like pork belly with potato rosti, or creamy wild mushroom risotto.
They’ve got a great dessert wine menu for an after dinner tipple – not to mention a cheese trolley teeming with spectacular artisan offerings.
De Luca Cucina
A stylish, skylit setting, great cocktails and a live pianist make this Regent Street favourite a perfect spot for a romantic dinner, and they’re getting in the spirit with a special Valentine’s menu.
For £38 per person, you and your date can enjoy a three-course feast of what De Luca does best: indulgent, hearty Italian deliciousness.
Once you’re done, pop up to the top floor piano bar, where they’ll be serving cocktails and playing live love songs. Awww.
