From the April 2008 issue

Best Places to Take a Date

Looking to get lucky? Choosing the right resto has been proven to increase your odds

A first date: The Old Havana decor at Julie’s Cuban Restaurant provides a comfy, playful setting. The menu is diverse enough to accommodate most diets, and tart, strong mojitos calm any amorous jitters.


A cheap(er) date: For less than a hundred bucks, indulge in Foxley’s blend of Asian and Portuguese cuisines featuring an array of aphrodisiacal dishes. The intimate brick-and-hardwood room is conducive to canoodling, too.


Where to propose: A more practical—and nearly as romantic—alternative to proposing in Paris. Auberge du Pommier’s charming French country surroundings, attentive staff and exceptional Gallic gastronomy make popping the question a snap.

If you’re having an affair: Dim lighting, dark wood and heavy damask curtains accommodate illicit lovers at Niagara Street Café; the Spanish-influenced seasonal menu satisfies other appetites.


Where to break up: The clamour of the room at Gio Rana’s will drown out your it’s-not-you-it’s-me speech, and the small, succulent Italian dishes might distract from the ensuing tears.
