Toronto dating has a particular rhythm.
Polite, thoughtful, a little reserved at first — and wonderfully warm once people feel comfortable.
Which is exactly why where you go matters so much.
At MyCheekyDate, we’ve always loved Toronto for its balance: social without being showy, stylish without trying too hard. The right venue here doesn’t overwhelm — it reassures.
This is Cheeky Thoughts: Toronto Edition — our cheeky-approved guide to Toronto date nights that invite ease, conversation, and genuine connection.
🍸 Par Bar — Intimate, Elegant, Effortlessly Grown-Up
Par Bar is a masterclass in restraint.
Warm lighting, polished interiors, and a calm, confident energy make it one of our favourite Toronto rooms for conversation-led dates. It feels intentional without feeling stiff — exactly the sweet spot.
Why it’s cheeky-approved: • Flattering, low lighting • A relaxed hum that encourages real talk • Sophisticated without intimidation
Par Bar doesn’t rush you. It lets the date unfold.
🍷 Grey Gardens — Soft, Romantic, Unforced
Grey Gardens feels like a quiet exhale.
Tucked away and beautifully understated, it’s ideal for dates that want to feel thoughtful and present rather than performative.
Why it’s cheeky-approved: • Calm, cozy atmosphere • Excellent pacing — no pressure to hurry • Feels personal, not sceney
Perfect for second dates… or very good first ones.
🕯️ Bar Raval — Warm, Lively, Still Conversational
Bar Raval has energy — but the right kind.
It’s social and vibrant without tipping into chaos, making it a lovely choice for dates that want a little buzz while still being able to connect.

A wonderful balance of fun and focus.

It feels reassuring — in the best way.
🌿 The Rooftop at Broadview Hotel — Airy, Relaxed Charm

💡 What Makes a Venue Cheeky-Approved in Toronto?
Across our Toronto favourites, the pattern is clear:

💌 A Final Cheeky Thought
Toronto dating doesn’t need to be louder. It doesn’t need to be trendier.
It just needs the right setting.
The right room turns politeness into warmth. Turns small talk into something real.
These venues understand that.
And that’s why they’re cheeky-approved.
