Looking for the best place to take your beau on a budget this Valentine’s? Concrete has got you covered with our ultimate list of intimate, classy, and equally cheap date-night hot spots.

This newly opened restaurant offers traditional Mediterranean food at a budget-friendly price. Visit for lunch, and you’ll be greeted by a two-course menu for only £10 per head. The atmosphere is bright, the décor beautiful, and the staff extremely friendly.

Now, this one could swing either way for budget-friendly. If you’re dating a burly rugby player who eats twice their weight, it might be best to avoid. But if you’re looking for a lovely cocktail with a couple of tapas to share, you’re in for a treat. Asian-fusion food with live music to match, it’s always a hit.

If you’d rather a night in with a tasty takeaway instead, Nergiz is the place to go. Well priced and beautifully spiced, it’s a kebab that doesn’t leave you feeling bloated the morning after.

For an alternative take on a traditional burger, head to Gozo. The prices won’t break the bank and, for the quality of food, are much lower than a chain. Bonus points go to the incredible cocktail menu – or even ask for a custom-made beverage to make the date extra special.

Who doesn’t love a burger and a pint? With two locations, you’re spoilt for choice with where to eat one of Bun X’s fantastic burgers – with a side of fries. A lively atmosphere at either place, and darts for afters at The Coach and Horses – just make sure to leave room for another Jubel after your meal.

Loaded fries, brunch plates, and succulent chicken – the menu makes this place a memorable date night. The beautiful thing about it? Whether you fancy a ‘morning after breakfast’ (wink wink) or a romantic evening meal, Harry’s is serving.

You can’t fault this one – especially for the selection of food. Reasonably priced and endless options ranging from pizza to ramen, you and your date will love it – even if you have opposite tastes. The fancy food hall also hosts events such as Jazz evenings and Drag Bingo.
