FEBRUARY is upon us, meaning it is officially the season of love and experts from the hospitality industry have revealed the top 100 most romantic restaurants to try this Valentine’s Day.
Curated by OpenTable, the list examined diner reviews and metrics to determine the top romantic restaurants across the country from the Scottish Highlands right down to Devon.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, restaurants in London dominated the list, making up a whopping 39 of the total 100.
Despite being home to a myriad of award-winning, top-rated restaurants, the West Midlands only had three features on OpenTable’s romantic list, with none from the Black Country, Worcestershire or the wider region.
However, despite our region’s small amount of recognition, the three restaurants that made the cut represent the region well, with OpenTable saying “sparks are guaranteed to fly” when dining there.
