As we near the end of January, supermarkets are starting to line the shelves with cuddly toys, wine, chocolates and pretty much anything that screams romance.
And with just over two weeks to go until Valentine’s Day, we have created a gallery featuring 12 top notch food spots in, and around Portsmouth, that are rated highly by OpenTable.
From new restaurants including Ugly Bird and Salt and Sage Bistro to city staples such as Croxton’s, there is something for everyone.
