Romantic Wedding Anniversary Dinner Ideas for Couples

Planning an anniversary dinner is a lot of pressure, and when things don't go as planned, it can feel disappointing or ruin the mood of an important evening.

6 Wedding Anniversary Dinner Ideas

‍

If you're planning a romantic anniversary dinner, consider branching out from the food you typically eat to help make the evening memorable. The following romantic dinner ideas are perfect for a delicious anniversary dinner.

‍

Mediterranean

Mediterranean flavors are some of the best and most interesting in the world. Utilizing spices like saffron, Za'atar, turmeric, cumin, and more, Mediterranean cooking is full of classic recipes and has distinct and potent flavor profiles reflective of the region they come from.

Mediterranean meals can include items such as:

• Appetizer: Pita bread and hummus
• Entree: Pan-seared lamb chops
• Dessert: Pistachio baklava

‍

Soul Food

Soul food is a style of ethnic food created by Black Americans in the South. These dinner recipes feature flavors from spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon and blends comforting flavors with fresh ingredients.

Soul food is a delicious option for any anniversary dinner, and a menu may include dinner items such as:

• Appetizer: Hush puppies or braised collard greens
• Entree: Fried catfish or lobster macaroni and cheese
• Dessert: Sweet potato pie

‍

Brazilian

Like all regional cuisines, Brazilian food covers a vast range of dishes and can encompass everything from slow-cooked meats to stuffed pastries.

An incredible anniversary dinner, Brazilian style, may include some of the following items:

• Appetizer: Coxinhas
• Entree: Feijoada with farofa

Omakase

Omakase food is a style of Japanese cuisine in which the diner allows a chef to prepare whatever meal they feel like preparing at that moment. Omakase translates to "I leave it up to you," and when you plan to have an omakase anniversary meal, you should expect to be surprised.

What makes Omakase truly special is its originality. It's impossible to suggest an omakase menu because, by definition, it depends on what the chef decides to prepare for you when they make your meal. As a result, omakase dinners can differ drastically based on what's in season and available and the flavors the chef wishes to highlight.

However, Omakase is also one of the best ways to experience Japanese food, as you hand over complete creative freedom to your chef, who can craft an incredible dinner for your based on what currently inspires them.

‍

Elevated American

Although your mind may immediately turn to burgers and hot dogs when you think of "American" cuisine, elevated American food is delicate, flavorful, and perfect for a romantic dining experience.

If you select an elevated American meal, an example of the type of food you can expect to eat include:

• Appetizer: Roasted Brussels sprouts or raw oysters
• Entree: Filet mignon with a side of roasted vegetables
• Dessert: New York-style cheesecake or key lime pie
