11 Best Restaurants for Valentine’s Day in Toronto
The best restaurants for Valentine’s Day in Toronto can turn a dinner plan into something you both look forward to, with options for every taste and budget. Start with the food you both like: pasta at Giulietta, sushi at Miku, shared plates at DaiLo or a longer tasting menu at Richmond Station. This guide compares 11 places, with prices, regular hours and booking details to help you choose and plan for February 14, 2027. It falls on a Sunday, so a few picks work better for a Friday or Saturday celebration.
Before you book
Valentine’s menus and prices can differ from regular menus, so check each restaurant’s website or call before you book.
- Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday, February 14, 2027. Many listed restaurants, like Giulietta, Miku, Richmond Station, DaiLo, Cluny, and Don Alfonso 1890, require reservations well in advance. Confirm holiday hours and book at least 14 days before to ensure availability for your preferred date and time.
- The sources reviewed did not confirm specific Valentine’s Day menus or promotions for February 14, 2027. Contact each restaurant directly to ask about special menus, prix fixe options, or holiday promotions to support your planning and help ensure a memorable celebration.
- All prices are in Canadian dollars. Dish prices and per-person menu prices are labelled separately. Allow for tax, drinks, and gratuity unless stated otherwise; Richmond Station includes service in its menu prices.
- Check the booking terms and ask about menu requirements, seating duration, dietary requests, and cancellation policies before confirming your reservation. Communicate any dietary restrictions in advance to ensure your needs are understood and accommodated, making your Valentine’s Day dinner more enjoyable and stress-free.
- To keep the food bill down and feel in control of your spending, compare Giulietta’s pizza and pasta prices with Cluny’s individual dishes. For a fixed sequence, compare Richmond Station, Miku and DaiLo before adding pairings.
1. Giulietta
For pasta and pizza
If your idea of a good date involves ordering a few dishes and arguing over the last slice, start here. Giulietta’s menu gives you room to build dinner around pizza, pasta or a larger plate to share. Current options include cacio e pepe and mushroom-filled pasta, so you can keep the meal focused without committing to a long tasting menu.
There is also a practical reason to plan: the website lists a 14-day reservation window. Check when your preferred date opens up to secure a table for Valentine’s Day.
- Cost: $26–$28 for a pizza; $29–$48 for pasta or risotto. Prices are per dish.
- Operating hours: Monday–Friday 5:00–10:00 pm; Saturday 5:00–10:30 pm; Sunday 5:00–9:00 pm.
- Location: 972 College Street, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Open on Sundays. Reservations open 14 days ahead.
2. Miku
For sushi and a set menu
Miku makes sense when sushi is the first thing you both suggest for dinner. The restaurant at Bay Street and Queens Quay focuses on Aburi, or flame-seared sushi, and also offers a set dinner menu. Its published Shokai menu moves through small dishes, sashimi and sushi, a main course, and dessert. That format can make ordering easier if you want a planned sequence.
Read the full menu before booking. The current set includes beef, lobster, and fish, so it is not a sushi-only meal. Ask about substitutions in advance to accommodate dietary preferences and choose a time that leaves room to eat without rushing.
- Cost: $130 per person for the published Shokai set menu; optional beverage pairing $45.
- Operating hours: Dinner: Monday–Thursday 4:00–9:00 pm; Friday–Saturday 4:30–10:00 pm; Sunday 4:30–9:00 pm. Lunch: Monday and Friday noon–3:00 pm; Tuesday–Thursday 11:30 am–3:00 pm.
- Location: Unit 105, 10 Bay Street, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Open for Sunday dinner. Ask about dietary needs and any special Valentine’s menu.
3. Richmond Station
For a tasting menu with service included
Richmond Station is a good choice for couples who want the kitchen to handle the dinner sequence. Its six-course chef’s menu changes regularly, with a vegetarian version available. The whole table must choose the tasting menu, so agree on that before you sit down.
The price includes service, which makes budgeting easier. Wine and non-alcoholic pairings are listed separately. Allow about two and a half hours for the meal rather than squeezing it between other bookings. The restaurant asks for 24 hours’ notice for most dietary restrictions, and says it cannot guarantee every request without advance notice.
- Cost: $115 per person for the current six-course chef’s menu, including service. Optional pairings: $79 wine or $48 non-alcoholic.
- Operating hours: Dinner daily 4:30–10:30 pm; lunch Monday–Friday 11:30 am–2:30 pm. Latest chef’s menu start time is 9:15 pm.
- Location: 1 Richmond Street West, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Open for Sunday dinner. Full-table participation is required for the chef’s menu. Service is included, so tipping isn’t expected.
4. DaiLo
For shared plates
DaiLo suits a date where you want to compare bites as they arrive. Chef Nick Liu’s cooking draws on Chinese culinary traditions and French techniques, with a menu designed to spark conversation. The published choices include Hakka wontons, whole fried trout, and a section of larger dishes for two.
You can order individual plates or choose DaiLo’s Choice. Decide how much guidance you want from the kitchen, then ask the server to help pace the meal. The sharing format also makes it sensible to discuss allergies before ordering, especially if you both plan to taste every dish.
- Cost: $125 per person for DaiLo’s Choice or $160 for the premium option. Individual dishes are also available; published sharing plates include $30 cauliflower and $55 trout.
- Operating hours: Tuesday–Thursday and Sunday 5:00–11:00 pm; Friday–Saturday 5:00 pm–2:00 am, as posted. Monday is not listed.
- Location: 503 College Street, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Open on Sundays. Late Friday and Saturday hours are for the bar, so the kitchen may close earlier.
5. Cluny Bistro
For a French dinner in the Distillery District
Cluny gives you a French bistro menu and a reason to make dinner part of a longer outing in the Distillery District. The current list runs from onion soup and mussels to steak frites, with a chickpea-based panisse among the vegan choices. That range helps if you and your date rarely order the same kind of food.
Build the booking around dinner first and leave any outdoor walk optional. February weather can change the plan quickly. If evening reservations are difficult, Cluny also publishes weekend brunch hours. Check that menu separately, because the dinner prices below do not describe a brunch package.
- Cost: Sample dinner prices: onion soup $21, mussels $32, panisse $32, and steak frites $42–$56. Prices are per dish.
- Operating hours: Dinner: Sunday–Thursday 4:00–9:00 pm; Friday–Saturday 4:00–10:00 pm. Lunch: Monday–Friday noon–4:00 pm. Brunch: Saturday–Sunday 10:00 am–3:00 pm.
- Location: 35 Tank House Lane, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Open for Sunday brunch and dinner. The café and bar have separate schedules; use the bistro dining hours for a meal reservation.
6. Don Alfonso 1890
For a longer Italian dinner
Don Alfonso 1890 places the meal high above the harbour, on the 38th floor of the Westin Harbour Castle. Choose it when dinner is the main event, and you are comfortable setting aside a larger budget. The restaurant publishes both a signature tasting menu and a separate dining-room à la carte option.
Compare the two before paying a deposit or confirming a reservation. Menu names alone do not tell you how much time or food to expect. The published cancellation policy is also worth reading: cancelling with less than 48 hours’ notice can trigger a $100 charge per person. Ask which terms apply to your booking.
- Cost: $225 per person for the published signature tasting menu; the dining-room à la carte page lists $150.
- Operating hours: Wednesday and Sunday 5:00–9:00 pm; Thursday 5:00–9:30 pm; Friday–Saturday 5:00–10:00 pm. Closed Monday–Tuesday.
- Location: 38th floor, Westin Harbour Castle, 1 Harbour Square, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Open for Sunday dinner. A credit card is required; review the cancellation terms and any holiday-specific conditions.
7. Scaramouche
For a Saturday dinner and dessert
Scaramouche lets you plan a dressed-up dinner without choosing a tasting menu. Its current à la carte list includes pasta, seafood, meat, and a separate vegetarian selection. Save space for dessert if coconut cream pie is part of your reason for going; the restaurant still lists it on the menu.
For 2027, think Saturday, February 13 unless special Sunday service is announced. The website lists dinner Monday through Saturday. It also distinguishes last reservations from last orders, so a final booking slot should not be read as a promise of an immediate closing time.
- Cost: Mains $45–$70; selected pasta mains $46–$55; coconut cream pie $16. Starters, drinks, and other extras are additional.
- Operating hours: Monday–Friday from 5:00 pm; last reservations at 9:00 pm and last orders at 9:30 pm. Saturday from 5:00 pm; last reservations at 9:30 pm and last orders at 10:00 pm.
- Location: 1 Benvenuto Place, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Closed on Sundays, so book Saturday, February 13, unless the restaurant announces Valentine’s Day service. Complimentary valet parking is advertised.
8. GEORGE
For vegetarian tasting choices
GEORGE is a helpful starting point when one of you wants a vegetarian tasting menu, and the other wants several courses too. The restaurant publishes separate vegetarian options alongside its main tasting menus, so vegetables are part of the planning from the start. A four-course format also offers a shorter route through the menu than the longer sequences.
Talk through your choices with the restaurant before booking, including dietary restrictions and how long dinner should take. For Valentine’s weekend 2027, Saturday is the practical starting point: regular dinner service runs Tuesday through Saturday, with no Sunday service listed on the contact page.
- Cost: Four-course menus: $135 standard or $115 vegetarian. Seven courses: $175 standard or $155 vegetarian. Longer menus and wine pairings cost extra.
- Operating hours: Dinner Tuesday–Saturday 5:30–10:30 pm, with the last regular reservation at 9:00 pm. Lunch Wednesday–Friday, noon–2:00 pm.
- Location: 111C Queen Street East, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Closed for dinner on Sundays and Mondays, so book Saturday, February 13, unless a Valentine’s Day service is announced.
9. Café Boulud
For Yorkville brunch or a Saturday dinner
A Valentine’s meal does not have to start after dark. Café Boulud, inside the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, offers Sunday brunch, making it ideal for couples who would rather keep the evening free. Its French brasserie cooking also offers a Saturday dinner option if you’re planning a longer meal.
The five-course tasting menu is available Monday through Saturday at dinner. It isn’t served at Sunday brunch, and Sunday dinner isn’t on the regular schedule. Choose the service first, then ask for the relevant menu and price before confirming your table.
- Cost: $225 per person for the five-course dinner menu, or $410 with wine pairings. Sunday brunch prices must be checked separately.
- Operating hours: Breakfast daily 7:00–11:00 am; lunch Monday–Friday 11:45 am–2:30 pm; dinner Monday–Saturday 5:30–10:00 pm; brunch Saturday–Sunday 11:30 am–2:30 pm.
- Location: Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, 60 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Open for Sunday brunch, but not Sunday dinner.
10. Auberge du Pommier
For a North York celebration
If travelling downtown would eat up half your evening, Auberge du Pommier offers a North York alternative. The restaurant is set in a building built around two former woodcutters’ cottages, with fireplaces used in winter. Its cooking is rooted in French food, with seasonal menus that make checking the latest version part of the booking process.
A Saturday dinner is the sensible plan under its regular schedule. For a smaller bill and a different day, the website advertises a three-course weekday lunch. Keep those prices separate: a lunch offer cannot be used to estimate the cost of a holiday dinner.
- Cost: $65 per person for the advertised three-course weekday lunch.
- Operating hours: Lunch Monday–Friday 11:45 am–2:00 pm. Dinner seatings Monday–Wednesday 5:30–9:00 pm; Thursday–Friday 5:30–9:30 pm; Saturday 5:00–9:30 pm. Dining room closes at midnight.
- Location: 4150 Yonge Street, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Closed to the public on Sundays. Reservations can be made up to six months ahead. Dinner guests can validate eligible underground parking after 5:30 pm.
11. Canoe
For a Friday dinner above the city
Canoe is a Friday option for couples who want city views and a menu centred on Canadian ingredients. Its 54th-floor setting makes the room part of the evening, while seasonal tasting menus provide a planned progression of dishes. Leave enough time for the meal and ask about seating preferences when making a reservation.
For Valentine’s weekend 2027, start by checking Friday, February 12. The official fall tasting-menu post lists weekday service. That page also carries an outdated-content notice, so use its price only as a planning reference. A current menu and a confirmed reservation should settle the details before you commit.
- Cost: Taste Canoe at $170 per person, plus $125 for optional wine pairings.
- Operating hours: Tasting menu service: Monday–Friday, 5:00–9:30 pm. Confirm current service hours directly; no February 14, 2027 opening was verified.
- Location: 54th floor, TD Bank Tower, 66 Wellington Street West, Toronto
- Directions: Open Google Maps directions
- Good to know: Canoe is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so book a weekday dinner such as Friday, February 12.
Choose the dinner you both want to eat, then fit the date around it. A Sunday sushi booking, a Saturday French dinner, or a Friday tasting menu can each work. Once the menu, total cost and timing are settled, you can stop comparing tabs and start looking forward to the evening.
