Valentine's Day is right around the corner and while most people have a love-or-hate relationship with the holiday, Toronto restaurants definitely go all out for this romantic occasion.

There's a lot of pressure when planning Valentine's Day because there are so many romantic date options in Toronto and it can be hard to choose just one.

But whether you're enjoying Galentines Day with your girls or a romantic evening with your loved one, it never hurts to get some advice on the most impressive Toronto restaurants for a night out.

People on Reddit are sharing all their secrets and letting others know where to take their date if you need some options this romantic season.

Another hidden gem is FK on St Clair Avenue West. "Not only is Frank an incredible chef, he makes his own bread daily, and he has made a lot of the pottery dishes his wonderful food is served on. Frank and his wife Shawn are the most lovely people," a Redditor shared.

FK is a Michelin-recommended restaurant, and the guides shared that "this neighbourhood gem is a reliable crowd-pleaser."
