Get your credit cards out lads, it’s that time of year again when we demonstrate our love via the medium of grub. Because this year the big day falls on a Monday many restaurants have extended their Valentine menus to cover the whole weekend. With any luck, this should free up tables for those naughty boys who forgot… (to book I mean). With so many London restaurants vying for your romantic dollar, here is a selection that manages to combine an amorous aura with adventurous cocktails and food fit for wooing.
L’Oscar
For those who like their romantic restaurants oozing with velvet and gold trim, L’Oscar, a boutique hotel on the fringes of Covent Garden will have you drooling before you’ve even sat down. Once the London headquarters of the Baptist Church, this remarkable ‘Edwardian Free Baroque’ edifice built at the turn of the 20th century is now a decadent art deco lovers’ paradise filled with elegant period oddities.
