If you’re planning on spending Valentine’s Day with that special someone, or maybe celebrating your single status with a group of friends (don’t be ashamed, we’ve all done it), you’ve got to make sure it’s a fabulous night. Flowers, chocolates, or romantic movie watching sprees are classic ways to celebrate, but what better way to start the night off than with a meal at one of Winston-Salem’s chic and affordable restaurants?
While the new Bistro ‘34 is great, Valentine’s Day is a day to break away from campus, indulge and to try something new. Places like Ise and La Carreta are go-to’s for almost every Wake student, so you’ll want something that’s tasty and more private. I’ve selected some of the best restaurants around town, some of which have Valentine’s Day specials. Explore their menus online and try something new! It’s a busy night so don’t forget to make reservations!
