With Valentine's Day less than two weeks away, couples are already locking in dinner plans. And if you're booking something in Montreal, OpenTable's latest data suggests you've got plenty of swoon-worthy options to choose from.

The reservation platform just released its 2026 list of the Top 100 Romantic Restaurants in Canada, and eight Montreal restaurants made the list, including one downtown spot where the dining room literally rotates as you eat.

The rankings are based on OpenTable diner reviews and booking demand over the past year, highlighting the restaurants people actually choose when the occasion matters. The list is organized alphabetically by province and restaurant name, rather than ranked.

Here are the Montreal spots that stood out.

A longtime Old Montreal staple, Bonaparte leans fully into classic French fine dining. Candlelit rooms and a traditional atmosphere have helped it earn one of the highest average ratings on the list.

How restaurants were ranked

According to OpenTable, the list is based on diner reviews and demand data, focusing specifically on restaurants celebrated for romance rather than overall rankings or critic scores.

While Quebec also landed spots in Gatineau and Quebec City, Montreal led the province with eight restaurants on the list.

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, this might be your sign to book sooner rather than later.
