Chez Delmo
For a date night rooted in old-school Montréal elegance, chef Kevin Aves is serving up a menu that leans into the city's gastronomic tradition with dishes like grilled octopus, wild walleye, and lobster ravioli. The four-course lineup gives you and your date plenty to explore, with options like beef tartare and braised veal that feel both classic and carefully executed. End it with pouding chômeur or crème brûlée.
275 Notre-Dame Street West
Anemone
This four-course lineup from chefs Minh Phat Tu and Mike Madokoro moves from Arctic char and scallop temaki to dishes like duck magret with beets and pearl onions or biáng biáng dandan noodles with mushrooms and bok choy—each plate rooted in local ingredients but unafraid to pull from different traditions. You and your date will want to taste everything across the table.
271 Saint-Zotique Street West
Kwizinn Vieux-Port
Chef Michael Lafaille's Caribbean fusion menu is bold, layered, and built for a night out where the food does all the talking. The four courses move through oysters with coconut and calamansi mignonette, conch fricassée with fried rice cake, and mains like braised lamb shank with Mayi Moulen or ras el hanout-spiced beef chuck chashu with breadfruit gratin. There are vegan and gluten-free options woven throughout, and with optional wine pairings for each course, you and your date can go all in.
311 Saint-Paul Street East
Ratafia
Chef Magie Marier and her team of four pastry chefs are putting out a menu that's as precise as it is inventive. You and your date can work through hibachi-grilled octopus with squid ink and tahini, homemade spaghetti with Marsala and maitake mushrooms, and veal cheek over saffron-carrot polenta before moving into desserts—think Québec pear sorbet with camelina praline or a maple-scented financier with Jerusalem artichoke ganache. With an extensive cocktail menu and about 40 dessert wines available by the glass, this is the kind of spot you’ll want to settle into easy.
6778 Saint-Laurent Boulevard
Barroco
Chef Clément Girodengo's Mediterranean-leaning menu inside an 1800s building with rustic-chic bones is the kind of place where the wine list—almost entirely private imports—does as much work as the food. Beef tartare with Foyot sauce, braised beef with truffle celery root purée, and halibut meunière with green beans and almonds. It's market cuisine that’s both elevated and unfussy.
312 Saint-Paul Street West
Le St-Urbain
Chefs Marc-André Royal and Lindsay McLaren are running a neighbourhood spot that's all about seasonal, locally sourced Québec ingredients. Five courses move through sturgeon rillettes, duck tartare with shiitake and miso, garlic scape casarecce or braised rabbit ravioli, and mains like pan-seared scallops with nori beurre blanc or roast elk with haskap berry sauce.

Ibéricos
If you're looking for a date night built around sharing, this Spanish spot delivers. The four-course menu moves through homemade béchamel croquettes with Iberian ham, warm Brussels sprouts salad with Manchego and dates, and paella—seafood, traditional Valencian with chicken and rabbit, or a vegetarian mushroom version, all with that crispy socarrat at the bottom. Finish with churros and warm chocolate or Basque-style cheesecake, and enjoy some conversation over good wine.
4475 Saint-Denis Street
Heni
Chef Julien Robillard is blending North African and Southwest Asian flavours with Québec ingredients in a way that feels both inventive and grounded.

2621 Notre-Dame Street West
Lloyd
Executive chef Nicolas You and pastry chef Sylvain Vivier are running a four-course lineup that includes things like smoked duck breast with beetroot, guinea fowl with parsnip and rutabaga, or Arctic char with seaweed butter.

1050 De La Gauchetière Street West
Stanley
Inside the Centre Sheraton, this bright, welcoming spot is built for sharing—beef gravlax marinated in Sortilège whisky, octopus carpaccio with squid ink and Finger Lime caviar, artichokes served three ways. Mains like Montérégie lamb with Caribou wine and blueberry sauce or scallops with beet risotto make it generous and unfussy, while desserts like matcha sponge cake with macerated strawberries or vegan tarte Tatin finish the night on a sweet note.
1201 René-Lévesque Boulevard West
Restaurant PubJelly
A seafood-focused spot with a solid wine and cocktail list, PubJelly's menu leans into Québec ingredients without overthinking it.

Desserts of creamy sea buckthorn with sesame financier or a buckwheat tartlet with Saguenay honeyberry keep things interesting.
600 Marguerite-D'Youville Street
Île de France Restaurant
A revived icon from the '30s to '90s Eaton Centre days, Île de France is back on the ninth floor with modern French cuisine that feels both nostalgic and current. The menu moves through chicken liver gougère, Gulf of St. Lawrence cod goujonette with tartar sauce, and mains like Charolais beef with fries and Dijon sauce or Arctic char with pea purée. Desserts like burnt Basque cheesecake with cranberry compote or pecan pie are straightforward and satisfying.

Rose Ross
Myriam Pelletier's cooking leans into Québécois tradition with market ingredients and recipes that feel generational: Brussels sprouts with sweet and sour maple syrup, squash soup with blood sausage and apple balsamic, then homemade cavatelli with oyster mushrooms and buffalo mozzarella or trout fillet stuffed with white fish mousseline in a lobster bisque. Desserts like peach cake with whiskey caramel or a mille-feuille with whipped honey ganache elevate and comfort.
3017 Masson Street
Capisco
Marcel Larrea's Italian-Peruvian restaurant is like no other in town. Duck arancini with huancaina mayo? Tuna tataki with lima beans in escabeche? Palm heart ceviche with vegan leche de tigre? The menu keeps things moving, that’s for sure. Try mushroom quinotto with quail egg or pan con chicharrón with Gaspor pork and truffle mayo before landing on desserts like lucuma ice cream or chicha morada panna cotta. It's bold, stylish, and built for a date night where you want something a little different.
85 Saint-Paul Street East
June Buvette
Pat Marion and Colin Vallée are running a seasonal menu in Pointe-Saint-Charles bright and approachable: oysters with tarragon and salmon caviar, burrata with truffle and honeycomb, then braised beef short rib with red wine jus or fresh tagliatelle with wild mushrooms and Pecorino. Desserts of French toast with Granny Smith apples and salted caramel ice cream or olive oil cake with carrot and beet top everything off for a perfect evening tucked inside with a carefully chosen wine.
1900 Du Centre Street
Darna bistroquet
This family-run spot in La Petite-Patrie brings North African and Mediterranean flavours to the table with warmth: grilled halloumi with lemon confit, oyster mushroom tajine with prunes and almonds, deboned chicken tajine with saffron and turmeric, then mains like grilled octopus with Aleppo peppers or braised Québec lamb shank with dried herb couscous. Finish with citrus olive oil cake or lemon-lime posset, and you've got a meal that feels both practically transportive. Settle in and take your time with this one.
1106 Beaubien Street East
Rita
Named after the owners' two grandmothers—one Québécoise, one Italian—this Verdun spot leans into simple, generous cooking that sits right at the crossroads of both traditions. Meatballs in tomato sauce, tuna crudo with Calabrian peppers, mushroom risotto or rigatoni with braised beef rib, and pizzas like roasted squash with hazelnuts and fried sage or spicy Soppressata with Calabrese olives—everything's meant to be shared.
3681 Wellington Street
3 Pierres 1 Feu
Paul Toussaint's Haitian eatery mixes Afro-Caribbean BBQ, Texas-style smoking, and local ingredients into something bold and unexplored in the city.

Heirloom tomato salad with vegan ricotta and Camelina butter, sea bass crudo with buttermilk and fermented peppers, pan-seared scallops with smoked herring sauce, cold smoked beef with Comté emulsion, duck ravioli or lobster and shrimp cavatelli, then pouding chômeur or chocolate fondant to close it out. Go for the long haul and let the kitchen take care of everything.
5145 Wellington Street
Papito
This charcoal-grilled, choose-your-own-adventure spot is built for sharing and making decisions together. Start with oysters, spätzle with maitake and smoked Fontina, or coppa with fermented crabapple, then pick a side—lettuce with grilled tomatoes, ash-roasted potato with cheese curds, carrot purée—and a protein, whether that's half duck breast, merguez, braised veal, or fish of the day. Churros with chocolate and hazelnuts or pumpkin cake with mascarpone finish things off, and the whole thing feels relaxed, customizable, and perfect for a night out.
1425 Saint-Alexandre Street

La Toxica
The vibrant, traditional Mexican cooking here is all about birria tacos with traditional dipping broth, pozole with heirloom hominy corn, Baja-style fish tacos with beer-battered fish and creamy lime sauce. The menu also offers tostadas with lime-marinated tilapia, tamale de costilla with green salsa, sopes with chicken tinga in smoky tomato-chipotle sauce, or a vegetarian burrito loaded with sautéed seasonal vegetables. Desserts lean into tradition too: pan de muerto with orange blossom and anise, flan Napolitano, or churros with dulce de leche and passion fruit. Eat well and enjoy the atmosphere.
7221 Saint-Hubert Street
Vesta
This Montréal-Italian spot leans into 1970s family restaurant nostalgia with a menu that's straightforward but no less satisfying. Fried dough nodini with garlic butter and Cacio Pepe sauce, fritto misto with spicy honey mayo, ricotta cavatelli with basil and pistachio pesto, and pizzas like the Bob Special loaded with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Desserts keep it classic — cannoli with ricotta and pistachios, torta Caprese, or panna cotta with île d'Orléans cream. Order a bottle of wine and let the evening unfold!
206 Jarry Street East
Tiramisu
This Italian-Japanese fusion spot does exactly what the name suggests—tiramisu, but also bucatini with soy butter and truffle, beef carpaccio with black garlic miso aioli, grilled branzino with yuzu kosho bomba. The menu blends both cuisines without forcing it, and the mid-century atmosphere keeps things inviting and low-key. Coffee tiramisu (naturally) closes out the meal, with optional Japanese whisky to go with it. It's a solid pick for a date night to be sure.
989 Saint-Laurent Boulevard
Buvette Pompette
Alex Martel's Spanish-inspired buvette is all about tapas, natural wines, and a neighbourhood vibe that makes it easy to settle in for the night. Gazpacho with Québec tomatoes, cod accras, garlic gambas with pimentón and marinated fennel—everything's meant to be shared. Move through fried Brussels sprouts with homemade applesauce, chicken casserole with olives and rice, paella loaded with shrimp and octopus, or Galician-style octopus with smoked paprika. The wine list is dynamic and full of natural imports, too.
414 Saint-Zotique Street East
Foiegwa
This Americanized French diner in Saint-Henri thrives with a menu from Marcus Sahou that leans into French classics—cocktail shrimp, fried chicken with gentleman's relish, foie gras au torchon with red wine and spiced onion confit. Mains like a signature homemade spaghetti with black truffle and a 64º egg yolk, mussels with sauce poulette and fries, or duck magret with Basquaise sauce keep things elegant but unfussy. Chocolate mousse or tarte Tatin with sour cream finish the night off.
