It’s that time of year, the time of year when the air is getting warmer, the days are longer and people are excited about getting outside after a long winter. Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to enjoy a meal outdoors on a restaurant patio with friends and family. Whether you’re looking for an early morning breakfast, lunch or a romantic evening of drinks under the stars, patios provide the perfect setting to relax and take in the fresh air while enjoying good food and company. As someone who lives and works in The Beaches area, I love the many different patio options available during the summer months. There are many restaurants in The Beaches with great patios and each one has its own unique charm. I’ve included my list of the top 10 patios in The Beaches (in no particular order).

The Stone Lion is one of my personal favourites. With two separate spacious patios, outdoor TV’s and great service and food, this is definitely one of the best patios in The Beaches.
