Le Belvédère

British or French food on Valentine’s Day? That can be a hard issue, especially for a mixed couple. But struggling about the choice of the restaurant on such an occasion would be a shame. So, you should perhaps opt for Le Belvédère, a gorgeous venue located at the heart of Holland Park. Its chef, Billy Reid, offers you a delicious 6-course menu of fine British food with delicious French twists. enjoy the You would be hard to please indeed if the foie gras, the fillet sea bass with sevruga caviar, or the lobster with garlic butter didn't tickle your taste buds...

The Ledbury

With its endless glowing reviews and its mountains of awards, the Ledbury is surely a safe bet for the romantic dinner you have planned with your Valentine.

Nothing is better after a romantic Valentine’s dinner than a good play. So, you should perhaps go for a restaurant in theatre land!

Its special menu for the lovers is traditional but effective: poached oysters, foie gras, lobster, beef fillet, mille feuille of chocolate… And to make the mood more romantic, your dinner will be accompanied by live jazz.
