The food is amazing in itself, but add in scenic views and a beautiful climate, the culinary adventure becomes an even more pleasing journey. Check out these ten patios that are a must visit with family and friends.
1. Keeping the romance alive: Park Hyatt Roof Lounge
Valentine’s Day is long over, but romance is never dead, is it? The Park Hyatt Roof Top, with its wood walled lounge, is the perfect place to take your special one to.
2. Cabana pool bar
A patio that screams classy! You need to be over 19 to enter, and the Cabana pool bar does require you to dress stylishly, so leave the baggy jeans and tees at home. With an enclosed patio area of 50,000 sq. ft. and guest deejays performing every weekend, this one is a must visit!
3. Czehoski
Pretend that you were back in the 1800s. Visit Czehoski and be reminded of a bygone Victorian era. Czehoski, which was once a butcher shop, serves comfort food in a soothing atmosphere.
4. Drake Sky Yard
A favorite among Torontonians, this rooftop patio has everything you are looking for. With mojitos that you won’t easily forget and the perfect brunch time vibe – everything easy-to-get here could be to get a spot!
5. Gusto 101
Gusto 101 is famous for their $1/oz. house wine, which is consumed by their customers with, well, a lot of gusto! The rooftop patio has a retractable glass ceiling while you can also stay back at the street level patio, though it is the rooftop patio that gets filled faster.
6. Madison Avenue Pub
There are two faces of Madison Avenue Pub. The laid back, casual look, which can be found on a typical weekday, but come on the weekend and it turns into a party place. When to visit? Clearly depends on what sort of a day you have planned on having.
7. Panorama Lounge
The go-to place when out-of-towners come to visit. The Panorama Lounge offers breathtaking, picturesque views of Toronto. Anything else is a bonus.
8. Queen and Beaver
A happening pub, lip smacking food, and the option of taking your meal upstairs to their rooftop and having a look at the scenic neighbourhood – what is not to like about Queen and Beaver?
9. The Ballroom
Similar to Gusto 101, The Ballroom too has two patios – the street level patio and an upper level patio beside its restaurant. Rock music gets played there and you can enjoy a game or two of bowling.
10. Indian Rice Factory
A perfect place to catch up with your family and bond over authentic Indian food. Indian Rice Factory is a family run institution with a cozy dining room and a beautiful garden patio.
