Best Romantic Restaurants in Balham

My husband and I visited Clos Maggiore yesterday for a late celebration of our 22nd anniversary, and it was nothing short of perfection! This was our second time dining at this gem of a restaurant, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was enchanting. The intimate, romantic setting, especially under the stunning conservatory with twinkling lights, made the evening feel so special. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and professional without ever being intrusive. And the food? Absolutely divine. Every dish was a work of art, from presentation to taste. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill, with bold flavors and perfectly balanced textures. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it truly made the evening unforgettable. Thank you, Clos Maggiore, for making our celebration so memorable. We can’t wait to return again for another special occasion!

Really lovely Italian restaurant, family run feeling about the place with really nice Italian music gently playing in the background. Food was delicious too! Particularly the starters , there were so many good ones, was hard to pick one.

We celebrated our dating anniversary at The Ivy Asia, Chelsea, it was an amazing experience: the location was very easy to find, the atmosphere in the restaurant has been breath taking the attention to detail was impressive all dishes have been presented with grace and taste. I had the Salmon Teriakey and my partner had the BBQ pork belly, both dishes tasted DEVINE!!!! Stuffed aubergine , side dish was best aubergine we ever tasted, I wish there was a main dish consisting in that , it was a delight! For desert we had Samurai, a dish consisting in ice cream chocolate mousse brownies and brownie crumbs a sweet and consistent desert, enough for two people, definitely enough for sharing. Complementary we were offered Mochi ice cream with a Happy Anniversary message on a chocolate pice! It was an experience we both enjoyed very much and we look forward to our next visit to London to come back to The Ivy Asia ! Thank you very much!
