Here's A List Of 12 Romantic Restaurants In Bangalore
Olive Beach
If you are looking for a cosy mood for date night, there is nothing like Olive Beach's setting. It's also a favourite with much-in-love couples for the pretty-as-a-picture setting, complete with white-washed walls, blue windows and doors, and intimate nooks under the stars. The food impresses as always, and their new menu, part of their 19th Anniversary celebrations, goes more into the locally sourced ingredients route to create a more sustainable approach to food. While keeping their classic comfort food on the menu, we recommend trying dishes such as Seafood Bisque, Tiger Prawns Harissa, and the Chevre and Fig Tart. They also have a Valentine's Day menu that features dishes such as Rose Ravioli, desserts such as Strawberry Semifreddo and cocktails such as Dance With Me.
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Must-Try Dishes: Seafood Bisque, Tiger Prawns Harissa, and Chocolate Torte
Cost: INR 3,500 for two

Le Cirque Signature
There's nothing more romantic than a French or Italian restaurant. Le Cirque Signature brings the best of both worlds, so you can have a gala time with the person who's your world. Glass chandeliers, silvers that may bring klepto tendencies, and an uber-attentive staff make you feel like you're royalty. Pick between indoor and al fresco seating depending on mood and weather, and dig into everything from scallops to handmade pasta. Oh, and their wine menu is sparkling good.
Cuisine: French and Italian
Must-Try Dishes: Handmade pasta, grazing platter, and tasting menu

Yauatcha
Yauatcha is one of our favourite spots in the city when we want to have our favourite cuisine with our favourite person. Nothing like eating dim sum (which translates to touch the heart) with the one who always tugs your heartstrings, right? Pick from an extensive Cantonese menu that also features wok dishes and pair it with wine or curated cocktails and call it a date night in Shanghai. Oh and whatever you've planned for dessert, make sure to get Raspberry Delice. It's as good as kissing your partner.
Cuisine: Cantonese
Must-Try Dishes: Char Siu, Pork & Prawn Shui Mai, Braised Pork Belly, Raspberry Delice

Toast & Tonic
If you and/or your date love gin, then Toast & Tonic is the place to be. With great cocktails, experimental yet hearty food, and an East Village style rustic-chic vibe, you'll get brownie points and then some. With wood, soft lighting, and great food, Toast & Tonic is a delight to the senses. They usually have great offers on Valentine's Day too, if you plan to wine and dine your date. So really, if you're looking to spoil your date, then this is the place to go!

Grasshopper might run away with the title of 'Most Romantic Restaurant in Bangalore' with its out-and-out romantic setting. The space oozes Romance 101 with gentle pools, al fresco seating with candlelit tables, fresh flowers and soothing jazz in the background while you admire the twinkling lights and the stars. It's perfect if you are looking for something exclusive, private, and custom-made for your taste. You can linger over a beautiful five or seven-course meal and enjoy fine wine and the company of incredibly adorable pooches.

Tiamo
When it comes to date night in the centre of town, the poolside restaurant, Tiamo, at the Conrad will win you plenty of love and brownie points. This Italian restaurant in Ulsoor overlooks the looming lake, before which the gorgeous infinity pool sets the intimate atmosphere. It's set like a rustic resort, with cabanas (featuring mood lighting and candles) to lie under during the day and dine under at night. All this adds to the romantic vibes mind you. Oh, and it gets very windy, but that is reason enough to cosy up with bae.

KOKO
By now, you should know we have a thing for Asian food, so naturally,y KOKO makes it to the list with its Asian menu and luxe Asian-inspired decor. We love the booth seating by the bar side, and in the evenings, it has mood lighting. On cooler evenings, opt for the outdoor seating and sip on cocktails such as the Tom Yum Cup, and KOKO Master. For nosh, sushi and dim sum are a must. We've been here multiple times but that one time we were on a date here, we think we ate one too many dim sum, especially the Hong Kong Shumai.
Cuisine: Asian
Must-Try Dishes: Salmon Harasu Maki, Hong Kong Shumai, Crispy Pork Belly, Chilean Sea Bass, Tom Yum Cup
Cost: INR 3,500 for two

The Lotus Oriental
It's the infinity pool-side dining that wins it for us at this Pan Asian restaurant at The Leela Bhartiya City. We've been on one solo date and a dinner here a while back, and the outdoor dining space offers such a good view of the neighbourhood and on a good, clear night, you can see some stars twinkling. Here's hoping when you bring your date here, their eyes are also twinkling.
Cuisine: Asian
Must-Try Dishes: Charcoal Grilled Tiger Prawns, Edamame Black Truffle Dim Sum, Hamachi Sashimi

URU Brewpark
For those of you in South Bangalore, head to URU Brewpark in JP Nagar for dinner under the stars in the open air and with a smattering of dining and drinking choices. If it's enjoying the beautiful evening Bangalore skies with your bae, then URU has you covered. If it's a dinner by the outdoor lawn space, that's fine too. Or you can enjoy the little corners and nooks of the large brewery. This is one of those places where the company and romantic air are better enjoyed in the evenings.

Italia at The Park
We love that the date night at Italia at THE Park is very chill and relaxed. The whole space has a warm, inviting vibe that works all through the date. And the centre of town location makes it easy for most people on that side of the town. And since this is touted to be India's first ciccheti bar (more on that here), there are plenty of drinks from the Spritz Studio: a spritz-forward cocktail menu that features drinks such as Grapefruit & Limoncello Spritz, Cucumber & Mint Spritz, and the Cold Brew Spritz.
Cuisine: Italian

Date night by the pool? Yes, please. At SETA, you can plan a romantic date by the pool, under the open sky, in a private cabana or at an elegantly set table just for you and your partner. And the best part? There's live, romantic music in the background, and a meal has been curated based on your preferences. That's all we are saying, the rest is for you to enjoy.
