If you've been craving a little taste of Italy, then you're in luck. You can satisfy your wanderlust at this gorgeous spot, and the best part is, you don't even need a plane ticket. Tucked away in a charming town, this restaurant will give you major Venice vibes. Leave your suitcase behind and have a mini vaycay at Ontario's Mex & Co.'s riverside patio this season.

Italy might not be as far away as you think. This gorgeous restaurant nestled on the side of a river will take you on a little Venice getaway.

Located in the quaint town of Perth, Mex & Co. features a three-storey patio with breathtaking river views.

While the scenery might transport you to Europe, the food will whisk you away to Mexico.

You can order all sorts of delicious dishes to feast on as you gaze over the Tay River.

There are a variety of nachos to choose from, and you can indulge in cheese, chicken, or Mediterranean toppings.

The tacos come served on soft corn tortillas in flavours like chicken, baja fish, and vegetarian chorizo.

If you feel like snacking, you can order a range of tapas including avocado toast, poutine, and chili lime dusted wings.

The town itself also has lots of European splendour to offer, and it's worth touring around once you finish your meal.

Stewart Park is a gorgeous place to wander, and you can check out cute shops and other dreamy patios in this village for the perfect staycation.

If you're looking for more restaurants with a vacay vibe, there's a waterside spot that will take you on a trip to Miami.
