KEY POINTS

- No obvious PDA; described as friendly and warm by staff
- Both recently ended long‑term relationships
Pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were seen dining together at Le Violon, a fine-dining restaurant in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, on Monday evening, 28 July. The pair reportedly shared cocktails and several seafood dishes, including lobster.
Inside the elegant venue, Perry was spotted leaning in attentively as Trudeau spoke, with both appearing fully engaged in conversation. Witnesses noted that security personnel maintained a discreet presence nearby. Chef Danny Smiles also stopped by their table, and the two later visited the kitchen to personally thank the staff.
A restaurant representative confirmed that the dinner lasted around two hours, describing the duo as relaxed and courteous. No signs of public affection were observed, suggesting a low-key, private interaction.
Both Perry and Trudeau are navigating personal transitions. Perry, 40, recently ended her engagement to actor Orlando Bloom, while Trudeau, 53, separated from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 and stepped down from office in early 2025.
The nature of their dinner remains unconfirmed—whether it was purely friendly or something more. However, the outing has sparked public speculation, especially as Perry continues her Lifetimes Tour across Canada, with stops in Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto.
