It’s not like anyone needs a reason to kiss their significant other, but make sure to truly celebrate International Kissing Day today properly by setting the mood for a romantic kiss.
Here are some of our top choices for a date night filled with romance, so go ahead and shower your loved one with kisses tonight:
Cosy up next to a fire for dinner
There is something truly romantic about the crackle of a fire in the background when you’re in the company of someone you adore. Add some warmth and comfort to your dinner plans and head to a restaurant with a fireplace. Steal a kiss when no one is watching, or make others blush with your PDA.
Make sure to call ahead to book your table by the fire. We recommend Simon’s Restaurant at the Groot Constantia Wine Estate; there’s possibly no better place to warm you through this winter than by the fireplace at Simon’s. The huge hearth at this hospitable establishment warms the entire restaurant and creates a relaxed and cheery mood.
