9x Restaurants for a romantic Valentine's dinner

February is here, and you know what that means: Valentine's Day is coming. Want to give your lover, friend, or special someone the ultimate surprise? The answer is a romantic candlelit Valentine's dinner. Because the way to your lover's heart is through their stomach: the restaurants on this list can confirm this.

Dijk 9

Love is ... surprising your sweetheart with a home-cooked meal, but preferably with the help of a pro. Dijk 9 gives you a hand: their Valentine's menu is as good as finished and only needs a sprinkle of love. That way, you can spend the rest of the evening at the table. PS don't have the skills of Gordon Ramsey? You can also reserve a table at the restaurant ;) 

Grandcafé JOSH

Love should be celebrated, and if you're anything like (Grandcafé) JOSH, you go all out. On the menu for the day of love: lobster bisque, burrata straight from Italy, and sea bass with beurre blanc, just to name a few. Of course, no Valentine's dinner is complete without something sweet to finish. However, we simply can't choose between chocolate mousse or a cheese platter from Bob's Traiteur.

Piet Hein Eek

Even a renowned designer can't escape Valentine's Day. And why would he? On February 14th, you share a dinner with your loved one at his restaurant. If sharing some lovely dishes hasn’t convinced you yet, maybe the words of spoken word artist Martje Wijers will. P.S. Like to stay the night? You can enjoy sweet dreams at Hotel Piet Hein Eek.

Victoria by Goyvaerts

The Goyvaerts brothers know the way to your heart. Their restaurants Goyvearts and Victoria by Goyvaerts might add to that. Gaze into your lovers' eyes, enjoy good food, and drink on your love. The only thing that's left to do now is make a reservation. 

Dinner in Motion

Dinner in Motion comes up with a Valentine's Day special every year. Unfortunately, we have to disappoint you for Valentine's Day 2025; they are fully booked. Lucky for you, every night is equally spectacular, and you can bring your crush on any day given day throughout the year. 

Grand Café De Lichttoren

Dining romantically at one of Eindhoven’s most iconic locations—who could say no to that? Reserve a table for two at Grand Café De Lichttoren. Who knows, the everlasting bond between Philips and our city might just spark something special.

Gezana

Are you looking for a change of pace? We've got an idea! Gezana might not have a Valentine's Day menu, but it does have something better. What could be more fun than feeding each other Eritrean and Ethiopian snacks by hand? We certainly can't think of anything.

Thomas

Thomas on Stratumseind is fun for both down-to-earth couples and couples with rose-colored glasses. There won't be rose petals, hearts, and cupids, just good food (including a cocktail) in a beautiful pink setting. 

Brasserie Rita

Can't celebrate love on Valentine's Day? You're in luck! At Brasserie Rita, you can celebrate love from Friday, February 7 through Monday, February 17 while enjoying a romantic menu. Add a glass of champagne, and you've got yourself and your lover an unforgettable night. 

Cheers! To love!
