A quiet Monday night in Montreal flipped into internet mayhem when diners at Plateau hotspot Le Violon realized their neighbouring table held Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry. Eyewitnesses say the pair arrived without entourages, ordered the chef’s tasting menu—lobster, tuna crudo, lamb gnocchi, beef tartare—and lingered over Québec‑inspired cocktails for nearly three hours, laughing easily and leaning in close to talk.
Both celebrities are recently single—Trudeau separated from Sophie Grégoire last year and Perry ended her engagement to Orlando Bloom in June—fueling speculation that this was more than a friendly meet‑up. Restaurant staff reported no overt PDA, but noted “relaxed, intimate body language,” and sources tell entertainment outlets Trudeau insisted on picking up the tab before the duo slipped out a side door into the humid July night.
Social media exploded within minutes of TMZ posting grainy video; the hashtag #TruPerry trended worldwide as fans debated politics, pop culture and possible new power‑couple status. Neither camp has commented, yet the story’s viral reach already rivals the pop star’s own tour promo, suggesting the unexpected dinner could have staying power in the summer gossip cycle.
