As the most romantic day of the year approaches, Canada's 100 most romantic restaurants for 2023 have been revealed for those who might consider booking a table for Valentine's Day dinner.
The list, curated by online reservation company OpenTable, features restaurants from Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, and was put together by analyzing more than one million dinner reviews.
"Our survey revealed it's as important to be your best self with your date as it is with the restaurant team taking care of you," said Matt Davis, Country Director, OpenTable Canada. "We want to inspire Canadians to pack their charm along with their passion for romance and dining out this Valentine's Day."
According to OpenTable, Ontario is home to the most number of restaurants on the list with 46 establishments, followed by British Columbia (20), Alberta (16), Quebec (14) and Atlantic Canada (4).
Seventy-two per cent of those celebrating Valentine's Day plan to spend over $41 per person, according to OpenTable. But most Canadians (two-thirds) are comfortable splitting the bill.
The most popular types of restaurants were Italian (25 per cent), Steakhouses (16 per cent) and contemporary Canadian cuisine (14 per cent).
