FRANK
The perfect choice for girls who appreciate art. You can’t go wrong by checking out the latest exhibition together with the gallery’s collection and sitting for a delicious dinner in a newly renovated restaurant. It’s also interesting to note that this acclaimed restaurant got its name after Frank Gehry, who designed the place.

Romantic Places
Allan Gardens
Allan Gardens
by Diego Torres Silvestre
Take your date out to Allan Gardens, one of the oldest parks in Toronto. It features six beautiful 19th century greenhouses, full of exotic plants and flowers. Although the park is worth visiting all year round, you certainly shouldn’t miss a candlelight viewing of over 40 varieties of poinsettias during Christmas time.

Auberge Du Pommier
Impress your date with the authentic atmosphere of France in Auberge du Pommier. Invite your partner for exquisite French cuisine and enjoy the charm of a 150-year-old cottage renovated into a first-class restaurant. The only downside of the place is that it’s rather pricey — but a successful rendezvous is priceless!
