What does your date eat?
It’s seemingly a simple question, but it’s easy to get so wrapped up in finding the right place that you can forget you’re about to go on a date with a strict vegetarian or someone who has a nut allergy. Check things like this first if you’re the one booking, and maybe fish for subtle hints about the type of food they like.
Think outside the box
It’s easy to return to the same chain restaurants again and again because you know the menus back-to-front – but the likelihood is that your date does too. Try looking for somewhere that doesn’t immediately spring to mind, or a restaurant with an unusual theme.
