With lockdown levels at a low (<em>for now, touch wood<\/em>) and the country moving into a safer space with vaccinations and continuous adherence to safety measures, embrace the spirit of Valentine\u2019s date night with these 10 restaurants guaranteed to set the mood for a fun-loving outing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Best Valentine\u2019s Day Breakfast Restaurants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.24-central.co.za\/store\/lexis-health-eatery\/60464\">Lexi\u2019s Health Eatery at 24 Central<\/a> offers various breakfast options from smoothie bowls, toppings on toast, waffles and of course savoury and sweet. We\u2019ve picked <em>The Sexier Scramble<\/em> from their savoury breakfasts, including tofu or egg scrambled with spinach, kale &amp; fresh parsley, slow-roasted tomato, avocado, and savoury granola &amp; rye toast, which can also be swapped for sweet potato for a gluten-free option.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nelsonmandelasquare.co.za\/shops\/tashas\/\">Tasha\u2019s at Nelson Mandela<\/a> Square is just for you if you value simple, beautiful food. There\u2019s nothing better than the <em>Classic French Toast<\/em> prepared with brioche french toast, berries, cinnamon sugar and maple flavoured syrup. Pssst, go ahead and order the addition of streaky bacon to round the good ol\u2019 memories off.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about our good old friend &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandtoncity.com\/shops\/san-antonio-spur\/\">San Antonio Spur in Sandton City<\/a> &#8211; a warm, relaxed dining experience in a comfortable, family-friendly environment. You could either go with a full-stack breakfast plate or something small yet delicious such as <em>Avo on Toast<\/em> or <em>Chicken Livers on Toast<\/em> and obviously a <em>Cappuccino<\/em> with cream to make everything perfect!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Best Valentine\u2019s Day Lunch Restaurants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/benmorecentre.co.za\/store\/bagel-zone\/61448\">The Bagel Zone\u2019s sandwich bagels at Benmore Centre<\/a> is a wise choice! Their <em>Deluxe Classic Salmon &amp; Cream Cheese &amp; Veg Bagel<\/em> or <em>Traditional Tuna &amp; Veg On Health Bagel<\/em> are two of our favourites. Of course, there\u2019s more to choose from, and they serve freshly baked muffins if bagels aren\u2019t <em>necessarily<\/em> your choice, but your significant other\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy lunch with your better half at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscafe.co.za\/\">News Caf\u00e9<\/a> with the view of Sandton\u2019s buzz. Order a delicious salad, juicy burger or a succulent steak. If you\u2019re like us and can\u2019t choose only one, make it a favourite grill combo, such as their <em>Grande Nachos<\/em> that serves 2 to 3 with chilli cheese sauce, jalapenos, and melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese with guacamole, sour cream and salsa.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t fear; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebaron.co.za\/\">The Baron<\/a>\u2019s got burgers and beer! Nothing wrong with that on love day, especially if you as a couple prefer life in its simplest form. Enjoy the <em>Gourmet Burger<\/em> (beef burger mixed with chopped onion and fresh thyme, flame-grilled and topped with caramelized red onion, sliced Brie and a black mushroom saut\u00e9ed with garlic butter with crispy chips) or <em>Baron\u2019s Steak Roll<\/em> (150g of aged sirloin flame-grilled to perfection with crispy chips).
