One of the most romantic restaurants in Northern Ireland, AMPM is oozing charm. From the indulgent internationally inspired menus (featuring the likes of herb-crusted salmon and sunblush tomato ristotto), to the Instagrammable decor and rooftop that's the perfect spot for getting cosy, this is one date night destination that's sure to impress.

If there's one thing that you can count on at The Muddler's Club, it's a cracking time. Sandwiched right in the middle of Waring Street and Exchange Place, when on the hunt for Michelin star restaurants in Belfast, then this award-winning joint is for you. There's plenty to entertain your tastebuds on the seasonal menu, like the moreish cod, chicken skin and truffle dish.

Whether it's the first date or number 93857, you should always bring your A-game. Show your special someone just how much you care with a table at Coppi, where modern Italian food (think duck ragu or chicken parmigiana) is washed down with aperitifs. Not to mention the interior is stunning too, with an exposed ceiling giving industrial-chic paired with low-hanging lights. 

Teaming Asian cuisine with a bustling atmosphere, Yügo City is definitely one for romance. Cosy up with your partner and gaze into each other's eyes as you tuck into the likes of beef maki tempura, crispy pork dumplings, panko prawn bao buns and plenty more.

As far as fine dining for less goes, Six by Nico is up there. While you can easily make it a big night with multiple courses and wine pairings, you can also keep things cheap with six courses for £39. The menu rotates every six weeks, with innovative dishes inspired by themes. Previous contenders for most creative include the Mad Hatter's tea party and the funfair plates. 

Promising charcuterie, chateaubriand and cheese soufflé alongside mouthwatering desserts and gorgeous cocktails, Bert's Jazz Bar is a great choice for date night as it's one of the best romantic restaurants in Belfast. Not to mention, there's live entertainment and great music, so you'll be short of that awkward silence. 

Howard Street is knocking date nights out of the park with its gorgeous blend of sultry decor and mouthwatering plates like hoi sin glazed pork belly or chicken massaman curry. Plus, oysters are only £3.50 a pop. Head here for cosy corners where seasonal produce and quirky cocktails reign supreme.

If you're looking for rooftop restaurants in Belfast for your date, then consider taking them to Tetto. This gorgeous, coral bar is laced with forest green sofas and chandeliers with mustard yellow tassels in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter. It offers light bites (a highlight is its flatbread offering) paired with bespoke cocktails and entertainment in the form of vinyl evenings and DJs.

Walls lined with newspaper, cosy corner booths and red backlighting make Darcy's a laid-back and intimate place to dine with your date. The Bradbury Place hideaway is family-run and offers traditional Belfast dishes with a contemporary twist, with their speciality being a super seafood chowder. Expect honey roast Irish ham on the menu, with a salted caramel brownie to finish.

After fancy restaurants in Belfast to take a special someone to? Give OX a go on your next date.

A great choice when it comes to romantic restaurants in Belfast city centre, you can count on Bib Gourmand winning EDO no matter the occasion. Bring your other half here for small plates like braised beef cheek, octopus linguini with tomato and chilli or salt-baked sea bream.
