Some like it hot, even when it’s cold outside.
Let the chillier days inspire snuggle-worthy moments at the following four restaurants in metro Atlanta.
Cape Dutch Braai + Bar: If international wine countries could be channeled in one restaurant, it would be this one. The recently opened hideaway offers succulent steaks, scallops, porcini ravioli and chocolate soup. After dinner, get comfy in the cocktail lounge's oversize leather sofas—they are big enough for three, but you may want to keep things to a party of two.
Dolce Italian: Inspired by a 1960s Italian movie, this oh-so-hot spot—literally, since there's a wraparound, heated terrace for al fresco dining—offers handcrafted pastas, seafood risotto, meatballs and a selection of specialty pizzas. Best bet for cozying up? The plush leather booths.
Le Bilboquet: Transport your date to a quintessential Parisian café. Natural light and blue velvet banquettes set the stage for a quiet evening of dining with simple, classic French cooking. If you're looking to impress your date, order your meal in French (items are listed in English too). To complement your meal, chilled bottles of rosé alfresco are available.
10 Degrees South: As temperatures drop, your appetite may heat up for food and more. The spicy South African fare will satiate your hunger and the heated indoor patio will keep you toasty. The expansive wine menu will offer another reason to raise your glasses in a toast—to each other.
