A heart-shaped box of chocolates and perhaps a dozen roses are an integral part of the celebration of love that is known as Valentine’s Day. However, if you really fancy impressing your significant other, a romantic dinner is the way to go. Making sure there is something for everyone, here are our top picks for the upcoming holiday to help narrow down the endless list of establishments to choose from.

Romantic and enchanting: Clos Maggiore
Known as one of the most romantic restaurants in London, Clos Maggiore is filled with candles, white blossoms and an impressive conservatory of fairy lights.
