Romantic restaurants in Beverly Hills offer glamor wrapped in candlelight: velvet booths, sparkling chandeliers, and dishes plated like fine art. It’s where I sip champagne under palm-lined skies, surrounded by golden-hour glow and quiet elegance.
I’ve got lobster risotto with truffle essence, a glass of vintage rosé, and soft piano music echoing through the room—right here in iconic, effortlessly romantic Beverly Hills, California. Who knew upscale could still feel this intimate?
"Soft lighting, star-quality service, and pure indulgence? This is Beverly Hills’ romantic side—luxurious, timeless, and straight from a dream."

Unique Romantic Restaurants in Beverly Hills:
1. Dine Like Hollywood Royalty at Spago
Do not be confused by the name – although there is pasta on the menu, Spago (by Wolfgang Puck) is definitely far removed from your regular spaghetti house. This Michelin-starred restaurant is located on Canon Drive, where is offers a sleek and under-stated backdrop to an iconic culinary experience. Fine-dining is the name of the game and the menus are seasonal, showcasing whatever is locally available on the day. You are welcome to choose individual dishes from the a la carte menu at lunch and dinner, but to really spoil someone special you should book the Chef’s multi-course California Tasting Menu. You can choose your favorite wines from a broad selection of international varietals, most of which are available by the glass.
