You’ll know Julie’s from Prix Versailles’ prestigious list of the most beautiful restaurants in the world (or our Brummell recommends review). The Notting Hill hotspot exudes bohemian glamour with maximalist furnishings and burnt-orange velvet seats – it was once the hideout of Mick Jagger and the place where Tina Turner famously danced on the tables. Its most sought-after table is Table 44 (otherwise more romantically known as “The G Spot”), an intimate table for two tucked away out of view for a private dining experience. Guests are treated to a hidden menu made from the restaurant’s signature dishes, including a light and fluffy lobster soufflé and lemon spider crab served in delicate toast cups.

Brummell’s tip: Love a bloody mary? Make sure to try the “Green Tomato” where red vine tomatoes are puréed and clarified before being mixed with amontillado and ponzu sauce.

Where else but a 19th-century chapel could you make declarations of love? With vaulted ceilings and decorative arches that look out onto Kensington Gardens, The Oratory is considered the capital’s most romantic dining room, so much so that romance and proposal packages are part of the hotel’s DNA. This involves a bespoke menu, curated by executive chef Daniel Putz, who has been a prominent figure in London’s high-end dining scene for 23 years.

Brummell’s tip: If you get the chance, try the Blythburgh Farm confit pork belly, pan-roasted loin and black pudding croquettes served on a cauliflower purée – recommended by Putz himself.

Love is in the air, particularly at The Shard, where its Dine in the Sky package presents a three-course dinner for two, 410 feet in the sky. Following a champagne reception, enjoy Asian fusion dishes from Tīng Restaurant – the galbi jjim-style spiced braised short ribs is a beautiful concoction of ginger, cinnamon and garlic – while soaking in the London skyline from the 35th floor.

Brummell’s tip: Popping the question? Candlelit proposals are a phone call away, along with red rose petals and an elegant “Marry Me” sign providing the ultimate romantic touch.

A hotel created by the man behind Paris’s Hotel Costes was always going to be romantic. And it is, in a sumptuously styled, Morris Mackintosh kind of way. But the top floor takes it to the next level, with a stained-glass-lit dining room headed by a mysterious chef who is rumoured to be a former alum of Nordic power restaurant Aquavit. Expect Franco-Asian fusion cuisine like foie gras and beef tartare, alongside miso salmon and dim sum. And make sure to ask for the Coupole – a private dining spot for two, hidden away from the rest of the restaurant.

Brummell’s tip: Make a weekend of it and extend your evening with a night at the hotel, which has been designed with couples in mind – love lighting, bathtubs made for two, and all.

Members of this renowned private dining club know Mosimann’s is the place to be for a meal to remember. Set in a converted 19th-century church, the Montblanc Room holds the badge for the world’s smallest dining room, decked out with iridescent oyster walls and a show-stopping chandelier. On the menu are six different three-course meal options, from monkfish and scallop brochette to herb-crusted Welsh lamb loin with minted potatoes and jus gras.

Brummell’s tip: Why not stop at The Library Bar at The Lanesborough beforehand, where you can hopefully pinch a spot in the love nook – a semi-private enclosed table for two – and browse its extensive drinks list?
