21212

3 Royal Terrace EH7 5 AB

Set over four floors, chef Paul Kitching’s opulent restaurant boasts views across the Firth of Forth, which makes the perfect backdrop for any meet-cute.

Serving some of the finest French cuisine you'll find in Edinburgh, the restaurant is pulling out all the stops on Valentine’s Day with a sumptuous five-course meal.

The aphrodisiac-laden menu is largely being kept under wraps but we do know that it will include baked scallop and carrot puree and shellfish bisque as starters, and a lemon meringue with a hint of ginger to round things off.

While you dine, you can gaze at your partner through a rose-tinted glass of champagne.

Best of all, 21212 has also been named as one of the city’s most Romantic hotels - so you can even stay over if you want to really make a night of it.

£115 per person, full details at the 21212 website.

Contini

103 George Street EH2 3ES

14 and 15 February

Contini’s sharing menu features a host of classic dishes, like Mozzarella di Bufala, Prosciutto di Parma and Scottish free-range chicken Milanese with Amalfi lemons.

Enjoy a dash of elegance with a glass of Bellavista, Italy's answer to Champagne, and then end the night on a sweet note with the Amarena cherry cantucci.

£37.50 per person; full details on the Contini website.

Cafe Rouge

43 Frederick St EH2 1EP

What better way to spend Valentine's night than with a delicious French meal and a glass of champagne?

Choose from French classics on Cafe Rouge’s menu with steak frites, duck confit and chicken with garlic mushrooms all on offer, as well as vegan, gluten-free and non-dairy options.

True romance requires a note of starry-eyed optimism to really flourish and French champagne house Piper-Heidsieck will be providing exactly that by giving each couple the chance to win a romantic French getaway.

£25.95 per person; full details at the Cafe Rouge website.

The Little Chartroom

30 Albert Pl, EH7 5HN

Friday 14 February, served from 5.30pm

This cosy restaurant was opened by award-winning chef Roberta Hall-McCarron and her husband two years ago and has been receiving rave reviews ever since.

On Valentine’s night, visitors can expect five courses of French bistro-style cuisine, made using the finest seasonal ingredients.

Beyond that, this Valentine’s meal is cloaked in mystery – the actual dishes won’t be revealed until they are served up and ready to eat.

£75 per person; full details at the Little Chartroom website.

Third Wheels Eat Free at Brewdog

50 Lothian Road EH3 9BY

14 February

Of course if you’re single, Valentine’s Day can make you feel left out. But if you've got coupled-up friends then being unattached could bag you a free dinner this year.

Brewdog will be running a “free meals for third wheels” promo that allows any couple to bring along a pal to have a burger or a pizza on the house.

Available for bookings and walk-ins, full details at the Brewdog website.
