Want to make this Valentine’s Day the best? Montreal has lots of date options and you should take full advantage.

A Spa Day for 2

A Valentine’s Day spent at one of Montreal’s spas never disappoints. Bota Bota is one of the best spas in Montreal. It’s on the water and has an incredible package for couples that features a couple’s massage and a live harp concert playing in the background. At Rainspa, you and your partner will be treated to hammam treatments and a romantic dinner that usually turns to a breakfast in bed.

Take a Carriage Ride to Old Montreal

There is a horse-drawn carriage ride that lasts for half an hour to an hour. Forget the cliché, this ride is simply amazing especially when you get to the cobblestone roads and you’re cuddled together under a warm blanket as you sip some hot chocolate.

Dog Sledding or Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing or dog sledding on a Valentine’s Day is different, you and your partner will be mulled with chocolate truffles and wine. Les Amis de la Montagne is a romantic trail for the not so adventurous couple.

If you don’t mind some adrenaline rush, head over to Parc Jean-Drapeau for dog sledding rides. 20 Huskies will take you through a wonderland. Take the VIP package to get the kennel and the pack.

Dinner Shows

These types of shows are not common in Montreal but they are available. You get a delicious dinner followed by a performance.

The Rialto holds Pasta Opera on Valentine’s Day. The food is Italian, followed by operatic arias and some popular tunes performed by the chef…yes, you read that right.

At Le Balcon, there is a show themed Love Gives You Wings and it’s a tribute to artists of the past such as Sinatra, Cole, Martin to name but a few. The songs have that old school love and will get you in the mood.

Dance

If dancing on February 14th is your thing then head over to Tango Social Club or Salsatheque for salsa and tango dancing. There is a beginner’s course of 13th February for those who want to learn dancing salsa and tango to get their moves right on the big day.

Hotel

Probably the most common way to spend Valentine’s Day. Spending the special day enjoying some chocolate covered strawberries and sipping on champagne only lead to one thing, a bed covered with roses.

Valentines at Comedy Works

Enjoying your favorite drink while comedian Keith Alberstadt delivers endless jokes means that only great things will come out of a romantic night like this.

Theater

Montreal has many theaters and many shows are performed on Valentine’s Day. The Seagull is one you should definitely watch as you sip on your favorite wine cuddled up to your lover.

The Book of Bob show at the Centaur Theater is witty and modern retelling on the bible book of Job that will keep you and your significant other entertained.

Music

As we all know by now, music is a huge part of what drives Montreal, so why not enjoy some on this special day?  Check the social media accounts of some of the best bands for Valentine’s Day to know where they will be playing. Look for The Arion Baroque Orchestra for their amazing show Love Duets.

If All Else Fails….

If for some reason you and your partner are not feeling these suggestions, pick up some wine, your favorite movie, and flowers. Lay a blanket on the living room floor, like a picnic, make an order from your favorite delivery place and light those candles up.
