By Lac Saint-Louis, adults who own what they want
Lachine closes off the South-West at its western end, where the canal meets the lake. For a no-strings fling, the borough has one simple advantage: you meet away from the centre, by the water, without running into the faces you see all week. A drink, a walk along the shore, and the two of you decide the rest.
You sign up for free, look through profiles and photos without paying, and only sending messages takes the Gold subscription. It all fits in your phone's browser, enough to plan a date while sitting on the Parc Saint-Louis wharf.
Here the landmarks sit by the water: Promenade du Père-Marquette runs along Lac Saint-Louis, Parc René-Lévesque looks out over the river, and the canal passes close by. Boulevard Saint-Joseph and Rue Notre-Dame gather the cafés, the pub and the restaurants. A first date can start on the promenade and end at the bar on Rue Notre-Dame.

Drinks
Louks Pub
Rue Notre-Dame
A craft beer bar and restaurant. Tasting a few of Louks' beers side by side loosens up a first date, and if the evening takes off, the kitchen keeps you at the table.
A meal
Il Fornetto
Boulevard Saint-Joseph
An Italian restaurant near the Lachine Canal. Dinner at Il Fornetto, then a few steps along the canal, makes an evening that leaves time to get to know each other.
A walk
Parc René-Lévesque
Chemin du Canal
A park with a sculpture garden and a view over the St. Lawrence. The sculptures give you something to talk about as you walk, and the river view is a good place to stop and see where things stand.
Why head out to Lachine for a one-night fling?
Because the lake changes the pace. A beer at Louks, dinner at Il Fornetto, a walk along Promenade du Père-Marquette: the evening builds itself, away from places where everyone knows everyone. Adults on the site say from the outset what they're looking for. Create your free profile, see who's up for it, and switch to Gold to suggest a first drink on Rue Notre-Dame.

Your questions, one by one
Is the borough worth the trip for something casual?
Yes, especially if you like evenings by the water. Adults on the site say what they want from the start, and between the canal, the lake and Rue Notre-Dame, there's no shortage of places to meet. Create your free profile, spot the profiles that match yours and write with the Gold subscription.
Where should we meet for a first date?
At Parc Saint-Louis, on 34e Avenue, on the shore of Lac Saint-Louis. Its municipal wharf makes a clear meeting point, and a walk by the water gives you time to talk before choosing where to go. For somewhere to sit afterwards, Boulevard Saint-Joseph isn't far.
There's no metro here, so how do we find each other?
With no metro, you agree on a landmark by the water. Promenade du Père-Marquette or the entrance to Parc René-Lévesque on Chemin du Canal are easy to find. With someone coming from the east along the canal, you can arrange to meet partway and walk the rest together.
Any idea for a second date?
The Musée de Lachine, for a daytime outing. Visiting together gives you a conversation that doesn't run dry, and it makes a change from the usual drink. Afterwards, the shore is never far if you want to keep walking and decide what comes next.
Who can sign up?
Any adult aged 18 or over. When you sign up, you choose between man, woman, couple, trans person and other options, for yourself and for the person you're looking for. Your age is confirmed at that point, and creating the profile costs nothing.
