Love is absolutely in the air as everyone starts the countdown to Feb 14. When Valentine’s season arrives, couples are traditionally set to scramble over the finest restaurants in town while others are maybe digging up google for a last-minute dating place hunt.
While it’s better to celebrate love every normal day, the celebration of V-day is a rare chance to impress your special someone with anything that interprets a gesture of love. Whether it be a fancy dinner or some laid-back film binge-watching with the one you love, what truly matters most is when you get the chance to celebrate the most romantic night of the year together. But a meal for two is always a lot of couple’s first port of call on special occasions like this.
If you still can’t find the best place to spend Valentine’s with mon amour, we’ve located some of the most ideal restaurants in Manchester for a different wining and dining experience you’ll never forget.
Waiter! Table for two, please.
Tattu Restaurant and Bar
The stunning pink-lit blossom tree is an opulent design that ties the whole interior of Tattu restaurant together. Not only does the tree provide an intimate seating arrangement set for a rare evening of romance but it also offers a picture-perfect backdrop for a romantic meal for two.
In Tattu Restaurant and Bar, located in Spinningfields, couples will enjoy a mouth-watering pre-dinner cocktail at the ground floor bar where you can sit back and enjoy an impressive combination of traditional Asian and contemporary Chinese cuisine. Do not forget to book your Valentine reservation ahead of time as you might get surp[rised by some restaurants that have prepared their Valentine’s Day menus that may differ from their usual offering.
Salvi’s
If you want to skip Asian and local cuisine and go for some Italian menu, Salvi’s is the best restaurant to take your valentine. The Italian restaurant sure knows how to tick all your date night requirement boxes from intimate to independent and, not to mention, the quality of food.
The entire restaurant separated into different floor levels with distinguished menus for each such as the mozzarella bar, corn exchange, and a deli or a one-stop Valentine’s shop where you purchase a present for your date if you haven’t already. Salvi’s is known for its opulent interior and an impressive menu of Neapolitan-style pizza and different pasta dishes.
El Gatto Negro
The famous tapas bar in King Street, locally known as El Gato Negro, has a different take on welcoming each and every guest. This award-winning all-rounder restaurant offers a different experience on every level, the same with what Salvi’s has to offer.
Let’s start at the downstairs where you can find the charcuterie bar if you’re looking for a more casual date to nibble on Iberico ham, cured meats, and cheeses with a glass of wine. Go upstairs and you’ll witness a more sense of occasion in its open dining area with intimate booths that allow you to see the panoramic views of King Street. The last level is a top floor that offers and dining underneath a retractable roof, providing a perfect place to achieve a dreamy wedding proposal on Valentine’s evening.
Grand Pacific
Rustic and charming is how we define the interiors of Grand Pacific, which is quite possibly the city’s most magnificent dining place so far. Imagine yourself fetching your girl in a vintage bus hire and taking her to a dining room that brings back the history — ideal for couples with beautiful old souls.
What’s more surprising is once you make your way up the oak staircase, an Asian-influenced menu of seafood, salads and steaks and a signature cocktail served inside a golden pineapple is there to welcome you. Brace yourselves for bottles of champagne, sparkling wine, and prosecco that’s infused with tea.
