First dates and more established couples can break the ice, so to speak, by skating at the Old Port Skating Rink! Until March 5th, 2023, you can take your lover to this iconic and historic Montreal destination where you can have fun and enjoy yourself in a musical ambiance. Make sure to grab some hot chocolate in one of the nearby cafés (Café Olimpico is just a few steps away) to warm yourselves up afterwards! If the cold isn’t your jam, you can lace up some roller skates and roll into some 90s nostalgia at Palais du patin.
#2 Dine at Terrasse William Gray

Nothing says romance like dinner under the stars! Luckily, the Terrasse William Gray has transformed its terrasse restaurant into an intimate and limited-time pop-up experience for foodies and lovebirds alike! If you're willing to splurge for a truly unique experience, book a table, sit back and enjoy a magical meal in your clear, frameless, geodesic dome that is heated for ultimate comfort. If you're thinking of a double date with your bests, this is also a great spot for that!
#3 Attend a Paint & Sip
