Best Romantic Restaurants in South Granville

Had a wonderful lunch at Miku today. Excellent service; outstanding meal; and a gorgeous view of snow-dusted Northshore mountains on a crisp sunny day. Couldn’t ask for more!!!

We had the Endive salad, the japanese baked sweet potatos and they were just outstanding. So much flavour. My 2 faves. We also had the seared argentinian prawns and the salted caramel pot de creme. Both were also very good. There were 2 of us and we sat at the Chef's table and it was so interesting watching them put together the delicious food. It was noisy downstairs with the lunch crowd and somewhat upstairs but at the Chef's table it was fine. I would definitely visit Nightingale again!

The weekend brunch at Botanist is outstanding! It was not my first time, however it was a first for my friend. There is a lot of freedom in the two or three course options and although I skipped the infamous mushroom toast this time, it is a stand out for those that like mushrooms. My friend was so impressed with the portion and offerings with the burrata salad. She thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We both opted for the lobster Benedict, however I will note that on previous visits, the croque madame and lamb belly poutine were also delicious. I opted in for a sweet finish for my second course and tried the croissant bread pudding. This is absolutely the most perfect brunch dessert, and the squash ice cream is absolute heaven. I must add the value with two beverages included is so fantastic. Finally our wonderful server Jess took such great care of us and was a delight. I am so enamoured with brunch, but I am making a point to return for dinner at some point.

We really enjoyed the Tasting Menu this weekend on Saturday evening and opted to included the Wine Pairings to accompany the meal. It was a fantastic decision to make and the meal; including the choice of wines for each course and the service was informative and thoughtful. It was a little loud in the room to really hear each of the descriptions of both the dishes and the wines so I had to beg-your-pardon for a repeat a few times. We were the early seating so by 8:15pm it was much more loud in the room so I'm glad we were a earlier to dine and better hear each other and our service staff members. And I asked for the Wine choices to be given to me as they were not noted on anything to take-away and learn from the wine experience paired with the Tasting Menu courses, so the wine host wrote them down for me to take home. A slip of paper with the Menu and the Wine choices on a small menu (like inside the restaurant menu used) to be able to take home is probably a good idea to have for interested guests. All was deelish though. Very special, indeed.

We had a fantastic time at Aquafarina. It was my husband's birthday, and they gave him a birthday card signed by their staff. It was so thoughtful. Our waitress was great; he helped us with the menu and gave some advice that was right to the point. The wagyu carpaccio was out of this world, and the mocktails were perfect. It was such a pleasant place to celebrate a special day.
