For us, there’s no doubt that a dinner for two is the best way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and these are some of the best romantic restaurants in Lisbon.
It’s not that our suggestions for plans to make your better half even more in love aren’t romantic enough, but in our opinion, a dinner for two is always that guaranteed classic. Who doesn’t?!
That’s why, and because this year’s offer is quite vast and varied, gastronomically speaking, we went in search of those restaurants that this year will prepare this evening in detail, so that you have an unforgettable experience.

Oven
After meats and sophisticated menus, how about a trip across borders with the best of gastronomy? At Oven you can enjoy the flavors of Nepal and India.
For Valentine’s Day, the choice of dishes is completely free. So you can try some best-sellers, such as:
- Chicken Tandoori – a classic Indian dish served with curry sauce
- The Luxury Table Banquet – a combination of grilled meats and prawns served at the table
- Lamb Shank – a lamb shank cooked over a slow fire for four hours, among others.
However, don’t miss out on some lesser-known dishes, such as Pani Puri, a crunchy starter, or MO:MO, delicious dumplings.
If you want to warm up the atmosphere, then you really have to opt for the spicier dishes: Vindaloo, Madras curry and Crispy Mushroom Chilly.

Terrace
One of the romantic restaurants in Lisbon to consider for Valentine’s Day is the Terrace, a spot at the Martinhal Lisbon Oriente. There, from 7pm, the intimate candlelight will make the atmosphere even more passionate.
In a setting of comfort and elegance, the menu comes alive with lobster ravioli, two main courses of corvina and white veal prepared with exotic nuances and a tonka bean brulée. All this (€65 per person), while you enjoy the melody of the saxophone and piano.

Veramente Pizza & Vino
Italian cuisine couldn’t be missing from this list of romantic restaurants in Lisbon, so another option is a dinner for two (€50/couple) at Veramente Pizza & Vino.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Italian restaurant offers a journey of flavors through various transalpine regions.
For starters, there’s tomato and basil bruschetta, alongside a modern version with avocado.
After that, it’s time to choose between two special pizzas: the Burrata Pizza or the Veramente Pizza. To finish on a high note, there’s chocolate mousse and tiramisu.

Mira d’Aire Caves
Our last suggestion is a kind of extra, as it’ s not even in a restaurant and only happens once a year, but because it’s so different, we think it deserves to be highlighted.
This is the ultimate Valentine’s Day experience: dinner in the famous Mira d’Aire Caves, 75 meters underground.
It’s almost impossible to get more intense and profound than this, in a romantic dinner for two, exclusive and with limited places.
This experience costs €320 per couple and booking is compulsory. If you choose to extend the night, you can book a bungalow for €190.
Address: Avenida Dr. Luciano Justo Ramos 470 (Mira d’Aire)
