Where to go on a date in Marylebone
From intimate restaurants and hidden bars to creative experiences, independent shops and green spaces, Marylebone has everything you need for a date that goes beyond the usual dinner and a drink.
Dinner for two
Make dinner the main event at one of Marylebone’s many restaurants, whether you’re looking for somewhere intimate, a special occasion or simply somewhere you can settle in and stay awhile.
For Japanese dining with a little wow factor, Nobu London Portman Square brings the renowned Nobu experience to the neighbourhood, with signature dishes from chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa alongside its elegant setting.
If Italian is more your style, The Italian Greyhound offers modern Italian dining in a relaxed, stylish setting. For classic Italian cooking with a refined touch, Café Murano is another great choice, led by chef Angela Hartnett, whose cooking celebrates the simplicity and quality of Italian ingredients.
For something more relaxed, settle into The Hart, a neighbourhood favourite where dinner can easily turn into an evening of drinks. Or discover michelin star restaurant Trishna, where chef Karam Sethi brings modern Indian cooking to Marylebone with a focus on seafood and bold flavours.
Drinks with a little atmosphere
When dinner is over, keep the evening going with a drink somewhere that feels like part of the experience.
For something hidden, head to Scales, Marylebone’s secret speakeasy. Its intimate setting makes it a fun choice when you want to escape the usual bar scene and find somewhere a little more unexpected.
For something more classic, The Churchill Bar & Terrace at The Churchill London is an elegant spot for cocktails, with a beautiful outdoor terrace that makes it particularly appealing on a summer evening. And don’t miss Clarette, a beautiful wine bar housed in an intimate Tudor townhouse, where you can settle in for a glass of French wine or try one of their wine-tasting experiences for something a little different.
Make it memorable
There’s more to a Marylebone date than dinner and drinks. Catch world-class live music at Wigmore Hall, or head to FRAMELESS for one of their FRAMELESS Lates events. For something more hands-on, get creative together at Potato Art Studio, or browse the independent boutiques and quirky finds around Chiltern Street and see who can discover something the other would never have picked.
And if you’re looking for a summer evening with a little more atmosphere, keep an eye on Marylebone’s events calendar for live music, performances and special events happening across the neighbourhood.
