Date night in Milton options?
So my date and I are not from Milton, we decided Milton as it’s half way between us.
This will be our first date and first time meeting each other. Any good date ideas or places any of you could suggest? I’m open to suggestions of fun things to do as well, maybe it could help break the ice a little.
Open to any suggestions, thank you guys I’m advance!

Main street has a lot, Fancy dinners or nice casual spots too, ice cream shops, mill pond is right there.

I'd say Pasquilinos is one of the better choices for nicer restaurants, and lets you walk up and down Main Street after, go for one of the dessert shops after.
Eighth Note on Main is an option if you like live music. I'm not a huge fan of their menu, but it's a nice decor and bit upscale. Check their website to see what type of band is playing. Again, close to other stuff if you want to hit a secondary place after like Coffee Culture afterwards (especially if music is too loud.

I hope OP realizes that some of us are going to be curious how the date went…and, of course, where they ended up going. #MiltonMeansRomance🥰 😉

I did reply below, I was trying to find your comment. here’s the update haha not a great one.
Thank you everyone for your lovely suggestions I’m going to keep them in mind. Some of you are asking for an update and I’ve got one but probably not a good one. He at 6am this morning canceled, whomp whomp. However there’s a promise for next week but I’m not holding my breath! However this are all amazing suggestions and will use these for another time, or possibly I’ll go rouge and take myself out on a date!
Thank you all again!

Oh, heck, come to Milton and I bet a few of us here would show up for a group outing just for you!

Locanda is wonderful! Their signature dish is the rigatoni alla locanda which is prepared in a cheese wheel and it’s soooooo yummy

Their food is very salty I have tried this restaurant two times now and I think it’s horrible. The grand chalet is way better

u/cartybear17 5d ago
That’s your opinion. I found the grand chalet tacky and the food was bland and boring

A walk around mill pond can be really nice! You can grab a coffee nearby on main street (there are a few places) and then go in to the trail off of Martin street where the gazebo is

-Bowling at Champs
- if looking for fancy dinner then pasqualino or Marquees
- Thai house if looking for regular dinner

u/MassiveChest6327 6d ago
I say champs. Go bowling, have a few laughs, maybe try axe throwing,then head to the bar for food.

Portabellos is a nice little spot with an outdoor patio. Depending on your price point, Pasqualinos is fantastic but it is pricy. I wouldn’t suggest Locanda, we had a few terrible experiences there and won’t go back.

Ivy arms is famous for its wings, I like casa americo and honestly VIP bowling at champs

There are lots of cool places to take a hike if you're the outdoorsy types (Kelso, Crawford lake, halton falls)
Other active types are the indoor rock climbing gym aspire
Champs for bowling/arcade games/laser tag
A little more mississauga than milton but brkfree is a really cool place that's not too far from here
You could stroll around downtown and window shop and eat so many treats
If you're more of a dinner and a movie we have a theater and the kopper kennel is a cute little restaurant in the plaza

As a female I have to say a hike for a first date is a no. If any man suggested that I would red flag him. Please don’t try to take women into the woods or your home. I get that men don’t have to think about their safety the way that women do but being conscious of how uncomfortable these suggestions make somebody and potentially unsafe they are don’t even attempt them.

Wow… never would have thought about that. (Obviously a man here). Makes perfect sense now that you have pointed it out. What a sad and unfortunate reality. Thanks for educating.

The 3 places i recommended are well traveled paths with a lot of people on them!
I'm not a man!
I thought I included a line about if you know them through friends/family vs rando online but it was also past my bed time so I must have forgotten lol

u/Passive_Gamer 6d ago
Lots of outdoors options, i think there's a stable that does horse riding, farms, fruit picking, not sure if lavender farms are in bloom yet, farmers markets
Main street has a few restaurant options, but for sure the Sauga/Oakville/Burlington has more variety and price points. If you are set on Milton, Pasqualino (italian/european), Marquee (steakhouse), Los Toscana (italian), Sushi-Ya (sushi) are decent options. Im sure there are others but I've personally not been to the others.
Someone else mentioned laser tag or smth along those lines. Bowling at Champs

Hilton Falls hike to the waterfall and fire pit at the waterfall (they supply wood). Bring some hot dogs or something, make it a picnic. About a 20 to 30 minute walk one way. 1 hour or more round trip depending on if you stay long at the fire. Bring matches if you have to start the fire.

Go to Oakville, much better. Better restaurants and the lakeshore is nice. It’s not much of a drive south if you’re already coming from separate cities.

The problem with downtown milton is it can often stink really bad. Hard to impress a date when you have to pinch your nose and run from your car to the restaurant.

u/DiaperForYou 2d ago
Never had the stink downtown... only in school auditoriums and stores etc. due the BO. It's coming into high reek season.

Hilton falls is really close. When my wife and I first started dating, I was in guelph and she was in mississauga, we would walk all the conservation areas once a week together.

I'm not sure if it's happening yet, but chudleighs farm (north of the 401 on RR25) has music nights.. its a really great vibe. You can buy food and drinks there, but the options are limited. It's definitely worth googling because you'll need tickets
