MTL Blog believes that the best date you can go on is with yourself, so we decided to make a list of the best Montreal restaurants to do exactly that. Check out the list below! Visit MTLBlog for more headlines. Valentine's Day should be about the person you enjoy the most, a chance to wine and dine your favourite personality, spend a couple of hours to really get to know that special person in your life that makes up the majority of your company. So, simply, you. And what better way to celebrate February than by finding that perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine, or two, alone at one of Montreal's many restaurants? While any spot in Montreal can be good for a solo date, there are some restaurants and bars that really stand out because of their attention to detail, carefully chosen wine menus, friendly staff, or just because of the decor. The spots below range from high-end, for when you really want to treat yourself, to more casual neighbourhood cafés that still take their wine lists seriously. Spoiling yourself to a night out at one of these spots when you want some alone time elevates a simple night out, to an all-out, five sense delight. Grab a book, make sure your phone is charged, or even leave everything except your wallet at home and just go fo the people watching; whatever your style is, take a moment to wish yourself a Happy Valentine's Day. With that, here are 14 of the best places in Montreal for a solo wine date.
