Platonic Power Dinner: Perry and Trudeau Keep It Cool in Montreal
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau sat down for a full chef’s tasting menu at Le Violon in Montreal, arriving around 7 PM and leaving dessert untouched.
Riley Carter here. Another casually cool pairing has us wondering if friendship could be the new celebrity romance.
Chef Danny Smiles, co-owner and co-executive chef at Le Violon, told TMZ he had both stars in his kitchen last night but sensed zero romantic spark beyond friendly vibes. Smiles confirmed to TMZ that Perry and Trudeau were “super chill” guests who treated the staff like old pals rather than star-struck superfans.
The duo opted for the signature tasting experience, which featured a parade of Montreal flair: buttery lobster, ahi tuna crudo, pillow-soft lamb gnocchi, and a delicate beef tartare adorned with local herbs. Despite the indulgence, Smiles noted that both skipped dessert, likely to keep things light before calling it a night.
Without a dessert course in sight, the pair lingered over coffee and conversation for a few hours. When the bill arrived, Trudeau quietly covered the tab, tossing out a simple “My treat” before sliding his card across the table. No PDA, no candlelit confessions—just two public figures enjoying good food and better company.
After their meal, Perry and Trudeau popped into the kitchen to thank the team, exchanged quick hellos, and slipped out with a polite wave. There were no lingering embraces or whispered sweet nothings—just exit-stage-right vibes that underline they’re keeping this strictly platonic, at least for now.
Fans have already taken to social media to dissect every frame, with hashtags like #DinnerDateDuo and #PlatonicGoals trending on X. Some are shipping them as the ultimate power duo, while others point out that both stars have recent splits under their belts and may simply be bonding over single life.
Perry, fresh off her split from Orlando Bloom, has been embracing the mom-and-pop balance, sharing custody of daughter Daisy and focusing on her next album cycle. Trudeau, meanwhile, finalized his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years of marriage and has since been spotted enjoying low-key outings without much fanfare.
Between chart-topping pop hits and parliamentary duties, this dinner could simply be two globe-trotting pals intersecting at the crossroads of friendship and public curiosity. No secret romance appears to be brewing—just two singles grabbing a bite in good company.
Whether this is the start of a new A-list alliance or just another headline-grabbing meal remains to be seen. Stay tuned—Montreal’s finest might dish again soon.
Anyway, that’s the tea. Judge for yourself.
