Port Credit’s Breakwater Restaurant is the only Mississauga entry on a list of Canada’s 50 most romantic restaurants released Thursday by OpenTable.

“It’s an absolute honour to be on that list,” said Breakwater’s general manager Toni Frankfurter.

She said she’s “a little surprised because at the end of the day, I always think ‘who really knows where the Waterside Inn is, or where the Breakwater Restaurant is?,’ and it’s very exciting to know that we’re there.”

Ontario dominated the list with 21 restaurants, followed by Alberta with 10, then Quebec and B.C. tying with six.

Seven provinces were represented, from Bishop’s in Vancouver to Raymonds in St. John’s.

Findings are based on more than 275,000 reviews from verified OpenTable users who dined at 1,600 Canadian restaurants between December 7, 2014 and December 6, 2015.

“Canadians love to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a special meal,” said Ziv Schierau of OpenTable Canada, adding restaurants were chosen by diners “for their ability to provide intimate dining experiences that offer scrumptious cuisine, a sensuous, rich ambiance and memories to cherish all year.”
