In truth, every restaurant in Montreal can be made romantic, because it's about who's across the table from you and the meal you share together.

But not all date night spots are made equal: When we're talking about the most romantic restaurants in Montreal, we're talking about the places that feel almost exceptionally made for a memorable night out.

Casual date nights, Valentine's Day celebrations, anniversaries, celebrations and congratulations—heck, even proposals if you're thinking of tying the knot—are just better at some restaurant than at others.

Here, we've put together a selection that aims to cover all the bases: Want to reenact 'the scene' from When Harry Met Sally? Maybe you want somewhere that's dark and secluded without too much noise, or a show to go with dinner? Really, we've got everything here, from spots specializing in the libido-enhancing effects of an oyster platter to wine menus with the finest bubbles and the exceptional Michelin-calibre service of a French waitstaff.

And if you want just a fun night out? We've got that here, too.
