Cities

First date ideas in Toronto that aren't drinks

Real Toronto places to meet somebody for the first time, each one checked against the same public-venue rule Seatt enforces on every plan posted.

Seatt is a dating app available in Toronto. Post a plan at a public place, leave one seat open and choose someone to join you. These local places can help you decide where.

For a first meeting, choose somewhere easy to find and comfortable to leave. A café is a simple start; a gallery or a park gives you something to talk about. See our first date ideas for more options.

How this list was made

Seatt only accepts plans at public venues, and that is a check rather than a request. Every plan posted in the app is matched against a list of place types that count, and a longer list that does not. Somebody's flat is not a venue and neither is a car park.

The places below went through that same check. 111 real Toronto places were looked at and 14 were refused by the rule, leaving 95. Nothing here is ranked or recommended: these are real places in Toronto that would be accepted as a plan, which is a smaller and more useful claim than a list of bests.
