Under $50: Thoughtful and Easy
1. Chocolats Favoris Box (~$25)
Hand-dipped chocolates from this beloved Quebec chocolatier. Multiple Montreal locations. Their dipped strawberries are iconic — pick up a box on the way home.
2. Atwater Market Picnic Basket (~$40)
Build your own romantic picnic from the cheese, charcuterie, bakery, and wine stalls. Walk the Lachine Canal afterward.
3. Bouquet from Pétales et Fougères or another Plateau florist (~$50)
Skip the supermarket flowers — Montreal has several boutique florists making beautiful seasonal arrangements.
$50–$150: Memorable Experiences
4. Bota Bota Floating Spa Day Pass ($60–95)
Montreal’s iconic floating spa in the Old Port. Day pass includes saunas, baths, relaxation areas, and access to outdoor pools. Couples’ spa packages available.
5. Dinner at Damas or Au Pied de Cochon (~$120 for two)
Two Montreal classics — Damas for refined Syrian, Au Pied de Cochon for indulgent Quebec.
6. Old Montreal Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride (~$70)
Cliché but charming. Best in fall when the cobblestones glow with golden light.
$150–$300: Big Romantic Gestures
7. Wine Tasting in the Eastern Townships ($150–250)
The Route des Vins covers 20+ vineyards within 90 minutes of Montreal. Many do tastings + meals.
8. Couples Spa Treatment at Strom Nordic Spa or Scandinave Spa (~$250)
Quebec’s signature thermal-bath experience. Multiple locations within driving distance. Worth the splurge.
9. Helicopter Tour of Montreal ($250 for two)
15–20 minute scenic tour over downtown, the river, and the islands. Operators include Mont-Royal Aviation. Best at sunset.
$300+: The Full Romantic Splurge
