Get Romantic in Edinburgh this February

Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most romantic cities, and here are our recommendations for the most romantic things to do in this fabulous city.

Catch a film at The Dominion

Share a sofa, snuggle up, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch a movie at the family owned Dominion Cinema. One of our favourite pastimes – especially as it’s Oscar season!

Address: 18 Newbattle Terrace, Edinburgh EH10 4RT
Telephone: 0131 447 4771

Afternoon Tea

Do something unusual and venture over to the decedent Signet Library for Afternoon Tea at The Colonnades. Served with tea, gin or fizz, this elegant building is the perfect place to stare into each others eyes…over some delightful baking, of course!

Share a cooking experience at the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School

Enjoy a meal to remember

Edinburgh has some of the most romantic restaurants in Edinburgh. Italian food and passion go hand in hand, don’t they? Eat below ground level at Edinburgh’s finest Italian Restaurant Wine Bar, Divino Enoteca.  It’s a  hidden gem in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town yet only minutes from the bustle of the city.

Candles and exposed stone walls make for flattering lighting – perfect for a special date night!

Telephone: 0131 225 1770

Drink margaritas and sway to the music

If you’re looking for a more upbeat night – why not try Thistle Street’s finest Mexican restaurant, El Cartel. With margaritas to die for, Cod Tacos, Pork Shoulder Tacos and Chorizo Quesadillas, what’s not to love? Oh, did we mention the music is incredible? Perfect for getting you in the mood…for dancing!
