My boyfriend (visiting from Egypt) and I will be in Torontoon MOnday night. Are there some great romantic restaurant recommendations? I'm from Boston...looking for something stylish and romantic? Thanks!

Hubby and I had our Valentine's dinner at The Laurentian Room (Winchester & Parliament). We found it to be quite the romantic spot. And the service was very good, too. Mind you, we haven't been there since V-day but are meaning to take hubby's parents there when they come to T.O. to visit us.

where will you be staying and will you have a car?

Auberge du Pommier is a very romantic room

Auberge du Pommier is outstanding, super-romantic, and a two-minute walk from the subway!

I 3rd? the rec for Scaramouche - it's really, really lovely.

If it wasn't for the budget I would recommend Splendido. Go a little later than usual too, Yannick and his crew will treat you like royalty. Very nice atmosphere

Yeah it is, I've been going through a similar struggle finding a business dinner for Monday. So many Toronto places close Mondays.

Why not Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar? My wife and I always have a great time there, maybe a little more "bustling" than one would want for serious romance. But it certainly is stylish, and a great representation of Toronto. We staggered over there after our wedding reception a block away - couldn't eat the wedding food as our stomachs were shot from the whole experience - and JKWB gave us a secluded table in the back and a couple of glasses of champagne. Very memorable. We ended up eating about 2/3 of the menu.

No reservations though, but if it's busy, a glass of wine at the bar is always a fun way to wait for your table.

Try Herbs near Yonge and Lawrence. Upscale, intimate with great food. Not sure if they're open on Monday.

Scaramouche

On a Monday, you might be able to score a window seat, which is great during sunset.

Scaramouche is fabulous, but quite a bit more than 150 USD, at least at the current exchange rate. Last time we were there, we spent $300 (=250USD). Same with Canoe, another great room with a view and fabulous food.

For a quiet, romantic out-of-the-way spot, how about Batifole (much discussed here recently).

Or George...

George is closed on Monday, isn't it?

[pinstripeprincess]

correct me if i'm wrong... but i'm pretty sure batifole is closed 3 days out of the week and monday is one of them.

[Patty Choux]

Batifole is only closed on Tuesday nights.

Probably 150 USD?

What kind of price range are you thinking?
