Dating Diaries: London Foodie Dates

Netflix and Chill(i), Amazon Prime and Dine, Hulu and… (fill in the gap)

Wanting to spice up your traditional lunch or dinner date?  Combine an activity and food? Then this is the guide for you! Just make sure not to go for the O2 Dinner in the Clouds if your date is scared of heights. 

Part 2 in the London Date Bucket List series! This one takes direct inspiration from the DM I received. 

Ok, who doesn’t want a fancy candlelit or rooftop dinner? Sounds like everyone’s “type of date on paper”. Rooftop sushi, anyone? Yummy food and good convo, it’s a winner. 

Or is it? Sometimes things can get a little too intense. Or maybe there are too many awkward silences. Oh and how have some restaurants still not caught on to the fact that you shouldn’t sit *opposite* your date, but *next* to them – if you know you know. 

So, here’s a selection of foodie dates. Have fun (attempting) cooking with your date, and then enjoy the yummy food after with great convo ofc. 

Lots of love, Jo Xoxo
