Valentine's Day Dinner in Toronto might be one of the most important of the year, particularly if you're trying to impress someone. This is the type of dinner where the atmosphere is just as important as the food. So if you want to set the perfect mood and indulge in a decadent and romantic meal, make sure to book early.
Here are my picks for 10 romance-worthy restaurants for Valentine's Day dinner in Toronto.
Bent
The Valentine's Day set menu at this Dundas West favourite is divine. Start with spicy salmon tartar, then move to a seafood "fourway," a little spiced beer osso buco and then a dark chocolate moose.
Boralia
Head to this Canadiana-obsessed resto on Ossington for a $65. It's a three-course menu that includes luscious items like lobster pie, roasted elk and a rich chocolate cake for dessert.
Canis
The new kid on the west-end Canadiana block, Canis is offering both a $40 and $85 set menu, both with equally delicious items. 58 day aged wagyu striploin, scallobs and beef short ribs are all up or grabs.
Carbon Bar
Indulge in this $75 per person five-course set menu that includes lighthearted plates like KFC cauliflower, the pit master's platter featuring pork ribs, beef brisket, fried chicken and dill pickles, and truffles to finish off the night.
Indian Street Food Co.
Valentine's Day dinner here is a five-course $49 set menu, which you can bet will take inspiration from their colourful, traditional Indian tapas plates, but on a grander scale.
Maple Leaf Tavern
Chef Jesse Vallins has created special sharing menus "designed to bring couples together." The five-course menu for two is available on the 14th and includes starters, a main course, cheese course and dessert. It's $65 a person, with $30 for a wine pairing.
Midfield
This warm-hued wine bar on Dundas West is serving a five-course dinner for both meat eaters and vegetarians for $60 a person. It's $85 if you want wine pairings (hint: you do), and they're also doing an irreverent speed dating event the night before called the Love Below. Reservations can be made through email.
Piano Piano
Head to this lovely Harbord Street spot and indulge in special pre-set four-course V-day menu for $85. Don't even blink at the price because it includes oysters, truffle gnocci, bistecca fiorentina for two and Nutella tiramisu.
Ripley's
Don't freak out, but yes, there is indeed a very special Valentine's Day dinner under the sea. There's no fish on the specially created menu by Daniel et Daniel. The price is $275 a couple but it includes dinner in one of the galleries, an aquarium tour, and a photobooth moment.
Ufficio
Chef Francesco is creating something very special for you and your date. It will be an $85 set menu made up mostly of local and sustainable fish and vegetarian options. There will be lots of sharing involved in this gorgeous meal for two.
