PATIO GUIDE

It’s spring at last, and one of the things we Canadians look forward to at this time of year is visiting a local patio. Whether it’s for a cappuccino as the firstwarmth of the morning sun filtersthrough, or an icy gelato in the heat of the midday, or a delicious meal and a glass of wine under the stars at night, there is something extra special about being outdoors.

If you are excited about patio season, there is an almost endless assortment of restaurants, coffee shops and bistros getting ready to welcome you in our community. Plus, dare we admit it, there has been at least one positive outcome of the pandemic. Our local municipalities have recognized how popular dining outdoors has become, and are assisting our restaurants with more liberal and accommodating rules for their on-street patios.

In the following pages, you will findsome information about some of our favourite local restaurants with patios. Over the course of this summer, we will be enriching and expanding our selection of restaurants on our online portal. To see more options, please visit looklocal.ca/find a-restaurant. You can search by area and by type of cuisine, and view reviews and multiple photos of the dining establishments of your choice. We hope this will be your definitiveguide to exploring all of the great dining options in our community.
