Valentine’s day in Bristol

For couples that show their love with with food, an intimate evening at award winning Adelina Yard would be the ultimate Valentines Night Date. As much as possible is made in house, from bread to hand churned butter and the attention to detail really shows. The A la Carte menu is a divine list of expertly made food, but the real gem is the tasting menu. A 10 course tour de force of culinary adventure for you and your date to swoon over. Bon appetit!

For couples that are secure enough in their relationship to play an entire game of Monopoly all the way through without threatening divorce, booking a table at Chance & Counters is the option for you. Pick a game you’ve never played or reminisce over an old favourite and enjoy a gentle evening of dice rolling, card hoarding and plotting with your significant other.

If you’re idea of a date is a nice sit down in a cosy pub with a few pints and some decent pub grub, we think you will love Somerset House. A little more modern than your average pub, you can quietly enjoy each others company without shouting over a terrible soundtrack and even head upstairs for a very sophisticated G&T or cocktail in their upstairs bar. The food is down to earth with choices including juicy burgers, fresh fish and chips and our favourite, sticky toffee pudding.

If sharing is what keeps you together and your relationship fresh, you should book a table at Bar 44 for some incredible tapas. The environment is lively without being too loud and the menu is crammed with all the classics. Pick from boquerones, patatas bravas, the finest Spanish charcuterie and of course a comprehensive sherry list to work your way through.

If your perfect date is a stroll around a gallery or the odd art show, you should book your table at Steak of the Art. Not only do they do a cracking steak dinner with all the trimmings all paired with a great wine list, the walls and seating is adorned with some incredible modern art with even pieces commissioned from local, Bristol artists. Food wise,Steak of the Art is serving up some of the best steaks in the city, all sourced from West Country farms with plenty of sides, sauces to complete the experience.
