Date Night
Featuring some of Bangalore’s most romantic lounges and restaurants for a buzz-worthy Valentine’s Day rendezvous
Author: Priyanka Shetty
After New Year’s Eve, February 14 is the probably the
most anticipated day of the year. A day when lovers
have the reason and occasion to profess their feelings
from rooftops, indulge in innovative forms of expression
and plan clandestine getaways. But surely, the perfect
date needs the perfect setting. And the wrong
location could take the wind out of a romantic
escapade with your loved one. So this year, WUB plays
Cupid and earmarks the five most romantic restaurants
in the city, which hit all the right, dreamy notes and
make for memorable Valentine’s Day venues. Gear up
for a night-out with delicious food, a delectable
ambience and the happy company of your
sweetheart!
Ebony for the view:
If there is one restaurant in the city with the most spectacular view of the city’s skyline, it’s got to be Ebony. Located on the thirteenth floor of Barton Centre, MG Road, Ebony offers an atmospheric setting, great food and an extensive cocktail menu along with the amazing views.

Grasshopper for exclusivity:
It’s no fun trying to hear each other over the din of thirty other couples chattering away! So if it’s privacy you need, head to Grasshopper. This Valentine’s Day, the boutique restaurant has planned the ideal dinner date for a few lucky couples with just five indoor tables and seven tables scattered around the garden, all beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and candles. The restaurant also has seven special menus planned just for the night, featuring homemade chocolates, fresh oysters and strawberries.
Pebble for music and fun:
If you’re looking to spend quality together-time topped with lots of entertainment, Pebble is the place to be. Last year’s Valentine’s Day bash at Pebble, titled ‘Loco Amore’, had DJs spinning romantic tunes, a Cupid Stall which handcuffed partners together and a counter to pamper lovers silly with strawberries, cherries, marshmallows and a chocolate fountain to dip them in! Love potions, love quotes and customised poems – Pebble guarantees a fun -filled evening for you and your date.
Olive Beach for gourmet food:
Olive Beach has set itself apart as one of the most popular dining spaces in Bangalore. This beautifully done-up hideaway on Wood Street dishes out gourmet Mediterranean cuisine with a sizeable collection of fine wines to choose from.
All of this makes it an ideal location for your own private getaway.
Liquid for rooftop lounging:
Picture this. A rooftop garden with a view of the city, the night sky studded with stars, a live band to set the mood for a romantic evening, semi-covered cabin seating with wooden tables and cane chairs and the perfect lighting - Liquid at Ista makes for an enchanting alfresco lounge bar experience with an array of the choicest beverages and refreshments – a perfect location if you intend to pop the question on this special day!

Ever associated the library with romance? Well here’s something that may surprise you – book lovers can find romance in The Library Bar at The Leela Palace Kempinski – an English lounge reminiscent of the British Raj, done up in signature British-style with dark wood and leather interiors. So you could spend this Valentine’s Day cosying up with your loved one with a glass of your favourite drink, while browsing through collectors’ books!
So if you haven’t yet made reservations for an exotic getaway with your valentine, tarry not. Bliss is just a phone call away!
