Montreal is known to be an inspiring city that is filled with romance, and it's also famous for being a city that knows food. So naturally, combining the two is an easy task. This is why we've decided to make a list of romantic Montreal restaurants, so you know where to go for your next date night.
Although bills tend to pile up, it is important to be able to treat yourself to a lavish and romantic dinner with the person you love. And, for anyone looking for a great meal in a dreamy setting, this list is for you.
I'm someone who believes romance can be found anywhere, including a Mcdonald's. However, with that being said, I would much rather sip on a nice Merlot while cutting into a perfectly cooked, medium-rare steak while gazing into my husbands' eyes then dipping McNuggets into a sweet and sour sauce in a parking lot.
From classic steakhouses to french culinary experiences, the Montreal food scene has something for everyone, including the hopeless romantics in us.
So, next time you want to impress someone, try taking them to one of these restaurants!
