There’s an old saying that the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. And we’re betting the same is true for women. But that doesn’t mean you have to slave all day in the kitchen cooking for your sweetie. Not when there are so many amazing restaurants right at your doorstep! From grabbing a quick burger or slice of pizza to sitting down to a four-course fancy dinner, foodie dates are sure to satisfy you and your honey!
Whether or not you’re of Indian descent, you and your honey are sure to enjoy Indian cuisine. Start the meal by sharing a loaf of naan – this truly tasty bread will set a great tone for the rest of the meal. Order tandoori chicken or lamb tikka masala as an entree, and then finish the meal with a refreshing mango lassi. Simply delish!
Dim sum is a Chinese meal composed of small dishes, such as potstickers and shaomai, that is generally served during brunch. In a traditional dim sum restaurant, servers wheel around carts filled with small steamer baskets and small plates, allowing you to choose the dishes you desire. The aspect of sharing small plates makes it a perfect date for you and your sweetie or group date with your couple friends!
Spanish cuisine is cooked with passion that translates into a very romantic meal. Spanish restaurants traditionally offer tapas, which are small plates, perfect for you and your sweetie to share. Consider inviting another couple along and making it a delicious double date!
For a truly spicy date, fly to Morocco! But who can afford international airfare these days? For a more budget-friendly Moroccan date, try a Moroccan restaurant instead. Start with couscous with beef or lamb, wash it down with some mint tea and then watch a live belly-dancing performance to end the night. It’s the perfect exotic and fun date!
A murder mystery dinner is the perfect idea for a special occasion, like an anniversary or group date. You and your honey can work together as a couple to solve the crime or compete to see who can pin down the murderer first. Either way, dinner is included!
No one does romance like the French! So for your next date, whether it be a special anniversary or just another night on the town, head to a little French bistro. Start the meal with an order of escargots or French onion soup. Then share a bottle of wine with your steak and frites or duck a l'orange. Bon appetit!
Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside – is there anything better than a well-cooked piece of fried chicken? There are tons of restaurants with tasty fried chicken dishes on the menu. Or get some to go and have yourself a little picnic!
Korean food is delectable but sadly often gets overshadowed by Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisine. Help correct that imbalance while enjoying a wonderful dinner date by taking your honey to a Korean restaurant. Just be warned, the kimchi can be pretty spicy. So tread carefully if you have a low tolerance for hot ‘n’ spicy food!
Have you and your sweetie tried Lebanese food? If not, you must head to a Lebanese restaurant for your next date! Order a collection of hot and cold mezze, which are small plates similar to Spanish tapas. Start with hummus and baba ghanoush, followed by salads like tabouleh and fattoush, and then add a few more substantive dishes like kebbeh and kebab. Delicious!
Do you and your sweetie always end up having just a handful of dishes for dinner? Why not shake things up by adding some seafood into the mix? There’s no better spot to start than a big bowl of mussels. Our tummies are growling just thinking about it!
