It’s cozy, trendy, romantic, and still has great steak and iconic sides. If this isn’t part of your date night routine are you even an avid date night-er?
Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse
For something completely different, Copacabana is a high-energy Brazilian-style steakhouse where endless cuts of grilled meats are served right to your table.

La Castile
2179 Dundas St E, Mississauga
Okay, a bit on the outskirts of Toronto (aka Mississauga), but for an outstanding and memorable special occasion steakhouse experience, it’s got to be included. The structure this restaurant lives in is truly stunning, and the most important point out of all of them: Drake went there and posted it; so that’s date-worthy to Toronto men in itself.
Go for the retro charm, stay for the hearty portions.
