Our Top 5 Date Night Ideas in London 2025
In case it wasn't abundantly clear from the bombardment of hearts and roses in every store, Valentine's Day is closing in on us.
From a solo night treat to hitting the town with a special someone, we've created a list of our 'Top 5 Date Night Ideas' to help you out.
1. Sip and Stargaze at Sachi
Peer over the London skyline from the gorgeous rooftop bar at Sachi in Belgravia. Adorned with Kyoto Garden-esque decor and offering a fantastically curated drinks menu (and cigar bar for those interested) this is the perfect place for a special occasion.
P.S. - Keep your eyes peeled for a Mai product or two on the menu.
2. Try Your Hand at Homemade Sushi
Let's face it, homemade sushi rolls aren't going to be the calibre that you would receive from a chef, but hey, take some creative liberties - these heart-shaped uramaki look particularly romantic. Grab yourself some nori sheets, steam your rice, and get to work!
Fortunately, this idea is not limited to London! You make the food, we'll deliver the sake - our Bi Bi Bi goes particularly well with sashimi, while Akamon is fabulous for complementing the richer flavours you may include in your maki.
3. Oysters at Oeno Maris
Want something daytime? Slurp back oysters and savour the freshest sashimi with a glass of sake at our favourite fishmonger. Oeno Maris has the perfect atmosphere for a casual yet enticing day date, well-stocked with all the seafood you could dream of.
Visit their website to find tickets for upcoming evening events (including for Valentine's Day - Aphrodisia: Flowers, Wine, and the Sea).
4. Groove It to the Music at Mad Cats
This trendy listening bar is the newest hot thing in Shoreditch, with exposed brick walls, intimate low lighting, and curated vinyl tracks to truly set the mood. Their food and drink menus have a fusion of Japanese and Lebanese cuisine, a selection of sake, wine, and cocktails (negroni fans, you must try their experimental twist on a Golden Negroni - using our own Ultra Dry Junmai).
Check out their Instagram @madcats.ldn for more information on the latest DJ lineups and events to enjoy!
5. Fondue for Two at La Fromagerie
Being in love is the most magical feeling. Dipping charcuterie and bread into a pot of melted cheese is a close second. Our fantastic trade client La Fromagerie offers some of the finest curated ranges of cheeses, and you can enjoy a romantic candlelit 'Fondue Supper' for a perfectly cheesy date night.
Peruse their menu online and imagine.

If these suggestions don’t appeal, why not run a bath, tune in to a podcast, and pour yourself a generous glass of sake (we recommend Sparkling Rosé or EIKUNholic). You deserve it!
