Consumers searching for Valentine’s day dining suggestions have a new source of info. Chipotle just released a list of its top-10 most interesting locations sure to impress any burrito-loving date.

The chain's Must-Visit Restaurant list features restaurants around the world (out of Chipotle's 3,400+) that offer a little more than a burrito bowl. The selected spots feature views of more than a parking lot, interesting history or unusual architecture.

For the outdoorsy types, the Chipotle in Sedona, Arizona boasts views of the tourist destination’s red rock buttes, also providing a post-meal hiking destination.

Those whose significant other enjoys history will want to visit the Boston location in a 300-year-old former bookstore, also Boston’s oldest commercial building.

For those seeking an otherworldly experience, Chipotle recommends a visit to the St. Louis store located within the Flying Saucer Building, with historic mid-century modern UFO-esque architecture that gives off alien vibes.

New Yorkers won’t have to go very far for their Valentine’s Day burrito fix, as there’s a Chipotle on the bottom floor of the Empire State Building, where diners can pick up burritos before heading to the observation deck.

For the civic-minded, there’s the Chipotle Congress in Austin, Texas, in a historic building, blocks from the state’s capitol.

Train enthusiasts can visit Chipotle's West Dickson Street restaurant in  Fayetteville, Arkansas, located in the historic Frisco Depot train station, a National Register of Historic Places-listed train station.

 And there’s more for architecture aficionados across the pond in London, where the St. Martin’s lane store features a Victorian and Edwardian influenced façade.

Paris isn’t only the city of love; it also boasts one of the largest Chipotles. With three floors of dining space, there’s plenty of room in the Montmartre location for those who made it to Paris for Valentine’s Day, but perhaps forgot to make fancier dinner plans.

Those who want to dine alfresco can head to Atlanta, where Buckhead North has the largest patio of any Chipotle location.

Finally, Chipotle superfans can make the pilgrimage to the original first Chipotle location in Denver.

"We hear from countless fans who have found love while bonding over Chipotle's real food," said Chipotle Chief Brand Officer Chris Brandt in a release "With Valentine's Day around the corner, we wanted to make it easy for guests to find a dynamic date destination."

Speaking of finding love in real life at Chipotle, the chain also reported that fans of the chain connect online as well. People using the word "Chipotle" in their dating profile were 2.4 times more likely to strike up a conversation with a potential match, the company claims.
