Valentine is a chain of more than 100 privately owned restaurant franchises operating in the province of Quebec, Canada.

The first restaurant opened in 1979, in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. A few years after the original restaurant opened, the founder of the company, Jean-Pierre Robin, opened a second restaurant in Saint-Hyacinthe in order to meet the demand for it's "famous hot-dogs". A short time after the second restaurant's opening, Jean-Pierre Robin's brother, Daniel, joined him, convinced of the enormous potential of the Valentine concept. It is during the next years that Valentine's success starts to really pick up and that period will be a turning point for the company : the two brothers opt for franchising as the company's mode of functionning for its future restaurants. As time passes, more and more franchises are bought and restaurants begin to appear in different cities throughoutt Quebec.

During the 90's, Valentine underwent a major renewal plan in which the restaurants' design changed along with the company's colours.
