Valentines Day is coming and I’m sure you’re seeking the perfect spot to spend an evening with your loved one. We have compiled a list of the accessible restaurants in each neighbourhood of Toronto. The criteria used to select these restaurants are based on this year’s Winterlicious restaurants that described themselves as accessible, ratings and reviews from various websites such as Yelp, TripAdvisor or Google, and reviews from accessto (a website that highlights accessible restaurants, bars, and pubs in Toronto).

Globe Bistro has a very rustic look that serves Canadian cuisine. From looking at the menu, it looks like a fancy restaurant to take your date. The food seems to be fresh and new. As reviewed on accessto.

Rally Sports Bar & Smokehouse is a great place to take your date if you both love sports and smoked meat. If that is the case, then this is the perfect destination. As a sports fanatic, I would definitely take my date there!

If you love Asian food, then go to Lee an Asian Fusion restaurant. I would take my family there. Only dinner is available. Unfortunately, the washroom is not wheelchair accessible.

Canoe is located at the top of the TD Bank Tower. This Canadian restaurant is the perfect place for a spectacular view of Toronto and great food. It is one of the many restaurants owned by Oliver and Bonacini. I really enjoyed the experience at the restaurant, and I would recommend taking your date.

Liberty Village/West Toronto
The Drake Hotel is a cool and fun restaurant to visit from the food and artistic feel. As reviewed on accessto.

Even though the decor seems simplistic at District Oven, the menu offers some delicious Mediterranean cuisine. I would certainly take my family to this restaurant. Only dinner is available.
