Art Gallery Restaurants and Cafes to Visit for an Artsy Romantic Date

The saying goes, “to fall in love is easy, but staying in love is difficult.” Even if you’re staying together or have been married for a long time, going out on regular dates will help keep your relationship on track. Going out on a date is also a good way for couples to talk and spend time together without any distractions like kids or work.

If you’ve been on numerous dates already with your significant other, a little art can bring a new colorful spark to your relationship and meaningful conversations! Art pieces can ignite your creative side and make good conversation starters. If you are up for a creative date with the love of your life, here are some art gallery restaurants and cafes where you can have artsy romantic dates:

Antonio Leaño, a Filipino Asian Modern & Contemporary painter known for the Pinto Art Museum and owner of the ArtSector Gallery & Chimney Café 360º, intended to build a rest house and studio on this gallery and cafe’s lot. However, with a grand view of Metro Manila and Rizal’s rural and urban landscapes, he saw the place as a great space for art exhibitions. Aside from an art gallery, he included a small cafe so that people could enjoy both natural and man-made works of art over good food and meaningful conversations and silences. 

This art gallery cafe displays different art forms, including paintings, sculptures, mixed media, and collages. They offer a good mix of drinks, pizzas, salads, and pasta when it comes to food.

On your next date with your special someone, why not travel to these romantic art cafes and restaurants? Not only will you spend some quality time with your partner, but you’ll also get a chance to marvel at gorgeous works of art and enjoy delicious food!
