Ah, summertime. Arguably one of the best seasons in Montreal (okay, not arguably, it's straight-up the best), the city is full of awesome things to do, and places to go to, once the sunshine hits.
Oh, and we happen to have tons of romantic summer spots, too - and lots of those spots include one of the most romantic attractions of all: gardens. That's right, friends. If you and bae love surrounding yourselves with all things green and magical, while enjoying a tasty meal, then you're in luck.

Guys, prepare to have your mind blown wide open by a garden/terrasse/actual paradise on earth. First of all, the food at Le Local is super tasty; even without their magical garden-like terrasse, Le Local would quite possibly be your go-to date spot, just for their selection of French dishes (Atlantic salmon tartare with truffle oil and lime, anyone?).
Once you see their terrasse, though, you'll understand why it's pretty much the star of this restaurant. Huge and beautiful, and complete with tons of greenery, gazebos, sofas, and much more, your date will totally fall in love with this spot.
7. Grenade

Haitian food and cocktail lovers, this one's for you. Agrikol offers some beyond amazing Haitian food and rum-based cocktails, like their Dark And Stormy cocktail, featuring rhum, lime, and ginger beer, and their beyond amazing cashew chicken.
But one of my favourite parts about this restaurant is, hands down, their terrasse. Reminiscent of your best friend's warm, welcoming, and whimsical backyard, the terrasse at Agrikol's got a seriously friendly and eclectic vibe - one that's sure to impress the most important person in your life, to boot.
