9 Gorgeous Toronto Patios You & Your Besties Need To Get Tipsy At This Spring
Winter truly seems to last forever in Ontario, but with warmer weather on the not-so-distant horizon, it’s finally time to start thinking about patio season. From rooftops with incredible views to cozy spots with serious backyard vibes, there are so many gorgeous Toronto patios to choose from. And while summer is certainly the most lively time to sip sangria outdoors, many patios re-open as early as April, depending on the weather.
If you ask us, the sooner the better.
Let's be real. Patios make every meal feel like some sort of fancy adult picnic and we can’t get enough of it.
Nothing beats spending a warm afternoon soaking up the sun and sipping cocktails with your besties.
Except for, maybe, spending a warm summer evening doing the same thing under twinkling patio lanterns.
Can’t wait for the season to start? Don’t worry.
This Toronto spot actually has a winter patio brunch challenge, if you’re brave enough to face the cold that is.
