Date Night Places in Bangalore: Ideas for Every Budget
The hard part of a date night in Bangalore is not finding somewhere good, it is picking a place that matches what stage you're at. A seven-course hotel dinner on a first date is a lot. A noisy brewery for an anniversary is not enough. Here are ideas grouped by the occasion, with prices for two.

- Toscano — Italian, easy for most palates, from ₹2,599
- The Reservoire, Koramangala — drinks and small plates, from ₹2,599

Making it work in Bangalore
- Book by area, not by rating. Indiranagar to Whitefield at 8pm can take over an hour.
- Weeknights are easier. Most of these need a booking on Friday and Saturday, but walk in comfortably on a Tuesday.
- Plan outdoor tables early in the evening during the monsoon months.
- If it's a surprise, a voucher valid for 12 months lets you fix the date together.
