Whether freshly in love or a couple for years: an evening by candlelight remains one of the loveliest ways to celebrate togetherness. Berlin has places that bring exactly the right light for it. The Guide Michelin once called the restaurant at the Schlosshotel Berlin by Patrick Hellmann in the Grunewald the most splendid restaurant in the capital, and you can hardly toast in more style. It also gets glamorous at the Grace Restaurant in the Hotel Zoo on Kurfuerstendamm, where Asian-European fusion cuisine meets an elegant ambiance. Anyone who loves a view of the water sits at the Ganymed Brasserie on the Schiffbauerdamm amid French charm and fine wines. For many, an evening like this becomes a memory that lasts. Where would you like to spend your next dinner for two?

Romance cannot be forced, but the right place helps a lot.
