2. Quo Vadis

Quo Vadis, which sits right in the historic Soho district of London, has a 'colourful past' and 'timeless allure' that's undeniable. Dress in your best clothes for a night out on the town and visit this romantic restaurant that offers seasonal British fare. Reserve a private room or sit and have a cocktail at one of their two bars. Fun fact: this used to be the home of renowned German philosopher Karl Marx. Located at 26-29 Dean Street, Soho.

3. Clos Maggiore

For contemporary, authentic French cuisine, visit Clos Maggiore, which has earned the actual title of "World's Most Romantic Restaurant"! You can't beat that. Enter the front door beneath cascading, blooming flowers and sit beneath them, too. Flowers cover the ceiling inside their restaurant, giving patrons a gorgeous, comforting view as they dine. Tables are decked with candles, and if it's a cold evening, ask to sit by their fireplace. They feature a high-class wine menu to accompany their award-winning food, which is influenced by the country inns of Provence and Tuscany. Visit this restaurant to see what three AA-rosette awards taste like!
