Romantic restaurants with a view

By CW Contributor on 8/1/2019

Looking for London’s most romantic restaurants with a view? We’ve found the perfect places for a Valentine’s Day dinner, where good food comes as standard, and the surroundings are guaranteed to impress…

Clos Maggiore

There’s a reason this foliage-filled Covent Garden favourite, serving dishes inspired by Provence and Tuscany, is loved by lovers. Garlands and bouquets abound, and the view of the sky through the glass roof, whether it’s twinkling stars, streaming sunshine, or even dashing rain, is always wildly romantic.

WHERE

33 King Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 8JD

The gorgeous wood-heavy interior of Ollie Dabbous’ new restaurant and stunning views over Green Park makes it feel like you’re having a seriously sophisticated treehouse picnic – with amazing food and service.

WHERE

85 Piccadilly, Mayfair, London W1J 7NB

Cantina del Ponte

Surely we can’t be the only ones who think the Thames and its constant ebb and flow is a metaphor for life, love and relationships? At Cantina del Ponte you’ve got views of Tower Bridge, and who else does l’amore and la romanza like the Italians?

WHERE

36c Shad Thames, London SE1 2YE

Rabot 1745

If chocolate is the way to your heart, drop heavy hints about this place. There’s fabulous people-watching elevated above Borough market, while the dishes from the people behind Hotel Chocolat weave in cocoa and chocolate in a way that really works.

WHERE

2-4 Bedale Street, Borough Market, London

Duck and Waffle

You might not think a City skyscraper had much romance potential, but this is one of London's 24 hour restaurants. As well as the star-lit view, you've got midnight strolls, drinks in the early hours, sunsets, sunrises and more.

WHERE

110 Bishopsgate | 40th Floor, Heron Tower, London,

You might be thinking that there’s no outdoor view here — and you’re right, but this Anglo-Russian dining room somehow still ranks as one of Soho’s sexiest restaurants. There’s something that reeks of intimacy and opulence about this space, inspired by the Orient Express and the romance of travel. And those ‘Push for Champagne’ buttons, of course.

WHERE

1 Upper James Street, Soho, London W1F 9DF
