If you're staying in Nice this Fete de Saint Valentin we know you'll be wanting to show your loved one you care, so if you're not cooking them up a romantic meal of fresh produce from the market, you'll be taking them out on the town for something special.

Choose your perfect valentines meal from our top 5 romantic restaurants in Nice.

1. Domino 20 Rue Bonaparte, 06300 Nice
   Domino is a unique setting for valentines and a great get away from the hustle and bustle of the old town with an enjoyably relaxing atmosphere. As an Old Brazilian restaurant, the Domino changes course and takes charge of Spain by becoming tapas bar. Pop decor with warm orange tones and contemporary furnishings, this quirky restaurant has become a hot spot for the pretty young things of Nice. The best part? The cost: at Domino you only pay for your drinks- the tapas comes for free! Feast on onion tart, charcuterie and calamari while sipping your favourite vino. Just a few minutes walk from the port and old town, you'll have plenty of options for a romantic post-dinner stroll.
   Be sure to book in advance to secure your table.


2. Restaurant Aphrodite 10 Boulevard Dubouchage, 06000 Nice
   Taking the name of Godess of love what better a setting than Aphrodite this Valentines Day! Hidden away amongst the luxury hotels of the Boulevard Dubouchage, the beauty shines through. Whether you're enjoying balmy evening al fresco on the terrace or dining in the elegance of the interior, Aphrodite offers a session of pure gastronomic ecstasy. Head Chef David Faure finely crafts his menus to the season with expertise that has earned him Michelin star rating. A fresh and exciting kitchen will leave no discerning palate disappointed!

4. La Ferme Saleya 8 Rue Jules Gilly, 06300 Nice
   Situated in the heart of the Old Town La Ferme Saleya is truly a restaurant Niçois. Staying true to its Provinciale roots La Ferme offers an authentic taste of France.

5. Tat-O-Titon 9 Rue Chauvain 06000 Nice
   The name Tat-O-Titon has no origin other than the fact it is written on the sign that hangs outside the establishment. A world apart from most other restaurants, the interior is filled by hanging vines and swinging monkeys. It is a most unique setting, the entrance is even decorated by a sign that says: "Good riddance", what a welcome?! The Menu is full of delightful home made crêpes that are complimented by a wide selection of pizzas. And don't worry there's plenty of nutella to go round at desert.
