Rate These Romantic Meals To Reveal The Perfect Anniversary Movie Night

Whether it be a second date or a ten year anniversary, pretty much every romantic evening begins with sharing a meal together. However, no two restaurants or two meals were created equally, and going to the wrong place or ordering the wrong dish could seriously put a damper on the rest of the night.

For instance, it's probably best to check the reviews of a place before one sets off for a first date with someone they've just met. In fact, it might just be better to stick with a place they've already eaten before. That way, they know exactly the atmosphere and quality of food that they're in for.

The reason being is that romance can be an elusive thing, and there's nothing worse than ending up at a place with a lousy staff, cheap decor, and horrible food to really throw a wrench into one's plans for a romantic evening

The same thing can actually be said for picking out a movie to compliment a date night as well. It's all about establishing the tone, and popping in a movie with a few unsettling scenes could really kill the mood.

So let's separate the truly romantic meals from the duds and uncover the perfect date night movie!

Question 1

How does surf and turf sound?

It’s a bit unfortunate that we live in a world where romance is often synonymous with expense. But sometime you just need to pull out all the stops when celebrating a special occasion with your significant other. And what’s more indulgent than a filling meal of both steak and seafood?

Question 2

How about a pasta dish at an outdoor cafe in Rome?

Rome is up there with Paris as one of the most romantic cities in the world, and there’s just something inherently romantic about Italian cuisine. So how does a late night dinner on the streets of Rome sound to you? Is it one of the most romantic things you can imagine? Or does it sound like overkill?

Question 3

Does a burger place sound like a romantic place to go on a date?

Who needs to fly to Rome and track down a cute cafe when there’s a delicious burger joint within walking distance? Burgers might not sound like the most romantic meal, but so long as someone enjoys the taste, does it really matter? After all, being romantic takes a lot of extra effort, and isn’t life hectic enough as is?

Question 4

What about a sunny ice cream stand?

Many people probably have fond memories of visiting the local ice cream stand or candy shop from when they were kids. So why not end a romantic evening with a bit of nostalgia as well and share a cold treat with your significant other? Or does this sound a bit too childish to you?

Question 5

Does a surprise picnic in the park sound romantic?

Someone throwing their significant other a surprise picnic has become somewhat of a cliche thanks to romantic comedies and sitcoms. And in these instances, the picnic rarely goes according to plan. But will you still be willing to go along for the ride if your date had an outdoor meal in mind?

Question 6

What about a picnic under the stars?

A picnic during the day is fairly easy to pull off. But what about a nighttime picnic under the stars? Does this sound even more romantic to you? After all, you’ll be able to do some stargazing after you finish your meal, and you probably won’t be surrounded by a bunch of people like you would during the daytime.

Question 7

Do homemade pancakes sound like a romantic breakfast?

Not only are pancakes delicious, there also a fairly easy dish to make — especially if the person is using a prepackaged mix. But just because something is easy, doesn’t mean it’s not romantic. So how would you feel if your significant other surprised you with a plate of homemade pancakes first thing in the morning?

Question 8

What if someone suggested fast food for a first date?

Most would agree that fast food is not the ideal setting for a first date. But maybe you find yourself in the minority. After all, it’s really your connection to the other person that matters, and we all don’t have the time or money to commit to going out to a fancy dinner whenever we want to see someone.

Question 9

Does a taco truck sound like a romantic meal idea?

Sometimes the most delicious food comes from some of the grungier restaurants or areas of town. This is because anyway can be a great chef, and some of the most inventive chefs working today just so happen to own food trucks. So do tacos sound like a good stop during a romantic walk across town?

Question 10

Rather be taken to a chain restaurant or someplace that’s privately owned?

While there was a time when chain restaurants seemed to be taking over every town across the world, privately owned places have seemed to be making a bit of a comeback. After all, someone who has the passion to start their own restaurant will probably put a lot more care into the setting and the quality of the food.

Question 11

How does garlic chicken sound?

If you’re just starting to see someone, there are inevitably some foods that you may want to steer clear from. Garlic is definitely one of them, as it can give you bad breath for the remainder of the night and quite possibly the following day. But if you really love garlic chicken, it might be worth it anyway.

Question 12

Rather be cooked for or taken out?

Having someone cook for you is undeniably romantic. And while they say that it’s ultimately the effort that counts, if your date happens to be a terrible cook, that could really put a damper on the meal. So would you rather roll the dice on a home cooked meal or go out to a reliable restaurant?

Question 13

Does splitting a pizza sound romantic?

The older people get, the less energy they seem to have for doing “young” things. Therefore, getting all dressed up for a romantic night out might sound a lot more tiring than it used to. If that’s how you’re starting to feel, then maybe something like ordering a pizza and popping on Netflix is your idea of romance.

Question 14

How does dinner and a movie sound?

Dinner and a movie is a popular dating combo because it takes a lot of pressure off of both parties during the movie part. Then, it’s fairly easy to get the conversation going afterward since you at least have the movie to talk about. But that also means it might not be the most romantic of meals.

Question 15

How about dinner AT the movies?

While movie theaters used to be synonymous with selling popcorn and candy, they now have higher-end theaters where the patrons can actually sit down and enjoy a fancy meal while the movie is actually showing. It might sound like a better way to enjoy a movie, but is it really all that romantic if you’re both staring at the screen?

Question 16

Does how expensive the food is matter?

Are you the type of person that likes to brag about the expensive things your partner has spent on you? While this isn’t what the relationship is probably about, when someone puts in the time and money into a relationship it definitely does show they’re committed. But it’s probably not a great idea to always equate expense with romance.

Question 17

Pick a romantic appetizer to share.

It can be hard enough just to decide what you want to order off the menu. But when it comes to splitting an appetizer, coming to an agreement can be an outright nightmare. Then again, maybe you’re someone with an open appetite and all of these four options sound equally delicious.

Question 18

If someone cooks their date’s favorite meal, but it turns out terrible, is it still romantic?

So your significant other has find out which meal you love above all else, and they have prepared it for you as a surprise meal from scratch. The only problem is that they have absolutely no idea how to cook and it turns out terrible. Has the entire gesture been a sham, or is it still incredibly romantic anyway?

Question 19

Rather have Italian cuisine or Spanish cuisine?

Sometimes the best way to pick out a restaurant to go to is to think about what kind of food you’re in the mood for. And when it comes to counties that are synonymous with amazing food while also being considered very romantic places to visit, Italy and Spain are definitely at the top of most people’s lists.

Question 20

How does a tuna fish sandwich sound?

Not only does tuna fish tend to give someone terrible breath, it’s also a rather odd meal to order while on a date — especially if the relationship is fairly new. So would you ever order a tuna fish sandwich? Or if you’re date ordered one, would you take it as a sign that things were simply not meant to be.

Question 21

Does a tapas restaurant sound romantic?

Tapas is just another term for small plates, and restaurants that serve tapas give the patron a chance to try a bunch of little dishes rather than have to commit to an entire meal. It also might not be a bad idea for a romantic date considering that you’ll have a lesser chance of overeating and being bloated.

Question 22

How about dinner with another couple?

Some people love double dating — as it keeps them social and it could really help take the pressure off of having to keep the conversation going by yourself if the relationship is relatively new. But is sharing a meal with two other people all that romantic? Doesn’t the idea of romance imply something that’s usually shared between just a couple?

Question 23

How does seafood sound?

Going out for seafood is often seen as a romantic date idea. But why exactly? Is it just because seafood is often more expensive than meals consisting of chicken or beef? Seafood could also be a gamble for many, as it might be more prone to upset someone’s stomach if they’re not used to it, and that’s certainly not romantic.

Question 24

Rather be taken someplace familiar or some place new?

The reason many relationship seems to loose their romance is because things can become repetitive and devoid of anything new. So it might be important to visit a new restaurant and enjoy a new kind of food with your partner every once in a while. Of course, if a restaurant is your all-time favorite, you might be happy going their every day of the week.

Question 25

Does a TV dinner sound romantic?

You may not have known, but the TV dinner was originally invented because Swanson massively miscalculated the amount of turkey that Americans were going to eat on Thanksgiving, meaning that they had to come up with a quick use for all their extra poultry. But that far from means that a TV dinner would make for a romantic meal, don’t you agree?

Question 26

Rather be asked where to go out or be surprised?

Where to go out to eat can be a big moment of contention for most couples. While plenty of females say that they’d rather just have the restaurant picked out for them, many males are too afraid that they might pick out a place that their girlfriends don’t want to eat at. And the conflict never seems to end.

Question 27

Rather have Mexican food or Chinese food?

Though they may not be as romantic as Italy and Spain, no one can deny that Mexican culture and Chinese culture turns out some pretty outstanding foods. So out of these two options, which do you think would the most romantic? Or maybe you solely care about the quality of the food with the atmosphere of the restaurant being secondary.

Question 28

Rather have a steak or a salad?

As younger generations continue to become more health conscious, they’re starting to stray further and further away from eating red meat. But is ordering a salad all that romantic? It’s certainly not special-occasion food considering that you can have a halfway decent salad anywhere at any time. However, the same cannot be said about a steak.

Question 29

Rather be taken out to a super fancy restaurant or someplace more casual?

Sometimes, just the idea of going out to someplace that’s super fancy or expensive can add a lot of undue pressure to what’s supposed to be a fun night. Therefore, it might be a huge load off just to go to someplace a little more casual, even if it’s to mark a special occasion like an anniversary or Valentine’s Day.

Question 30

Pick a romantic dessert to share.

Dessert is by far the most romantic meal that there is. And there are plenty of dessert-type foods that people often end up giving as romantic gifts, like chocolate-covered strawberries or a box of assorted chocolates. So out of these four sweets, which one would you rather split with a significant other?
