Best restaurants for Valentine’s Day

It’s that time of year where love blossoms and feelings of romance drift in the air. A day that urges people to express love towards their partners and lovers, but also their family and friends. Are you on the hunt for a special treat this Valentine’s Day? Here are three recommended restaurants that vary in prices and cuisine, a perfect fit for anyone.

Ceviche 595

1910 S University Dr, Davie, FL 33324

Price range: $$$

If you want to stay local, Davie is home to a restaurant located about a mile and a half north of NSU’s main campus. Ceviche 595 is a Peruvian restaurant that’s best known for its attentive service and rustic atmosphere. Open until 11 p., it’s the perfect place for a late-night romantic dinner. They specialize in ceviche, a seafood dish originating in Peru, typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices and spices, but make other types of dishes if seafood isn’t your cup of tea. “Tallarin verde con lomo,” a green pasta with stir-fry beef, is one of their best non-seafood dishes. If you’re hungry for a sweet treat, the restaurant also offers a traditional Peruvian dessert called “Picarones,” which are fried dough, usually made of squash or sweet potato puree, drenched in syrup. If you enjoy treating your lovebird like a king or queen, this is the place to make you and your stomach feel like royalty.

 

Little Venice

909 N Broadwalk, Hollywood, FL 33019

Price range: $

If you and your date are into scenic views and the romantic sounds of the sea, then Hollywood Beach has a fantastic Italian restaurant called Little Venice. Sometimes, it’s better to go basic in terms of food and embrace your surroundings. A Jumbo 19” pizza with a huge pitcher of Coke is something we can all enjoy. It’s those little moments that make the date not only special, but affordable. If you want to turn it up a notch, there are different entrees like pasta, ribs and even a few vegan options. The price won’t break the bank and you’ll get to soak in the romantic vibes on the beach as a bonus! Of course, you’ll be getting time with your loved one(s) as well.

 

Mizumi

3207 NE 163th St, North Miami Beach, FL 33160

Price range: $$

Straying further from Davie, North Miami Beach has a buffet suitable for those with never-ending appetites. Featuring Japanese cuisine, Mizumi has a massive variety of food. With an assortment of tempura veggies, regular vegetables, meats and even soups, Mizumi is definitely worth the trip. They’ve got a whole line dedicated to a variety of seafood, especially sushi. If you’re really in the mood for desserts, this buffet has you covered. Satisfy your sweet tooth cravings with a little corner dedicated to different flavored ice creams, creme brûlée, tiramisu and fruits. While this location tends to be more casual than elegant, it certainly gives you plenty of options if you nor your date can decide what to get.
