Toronto’s Distillery District Just Transformed Into A Giant European-Style Patio

Relax on this new patio setup!
Lead Writer, Travel

You don't need a passport to enjoy this summer. You can now spend your days relaxing beneath vibrant yellow umbrellas in one of the city's most beautiful areas. Grab some food or a drink and spend the day on Toronto's Distillery District patio for some major vacation vibes.

Your overseas getaway may have been put on hold, but you can still live like you're on an adventure. 

You'll feel like you're in the streets of France or Italy on Toronto's gorgeous new European-style patio.

The Distillery District has transformed into an expansive outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your summer days vacation-style.

Trinity Street is now filled with cheery yellow umbrellas and plenty of tables. 

The setup is new this year and offers visitors an additional spot to sit and enjoy food or drinks while social distancing.

The Distillery District informed Narcity that the seating area was created because of limited space at some of the area's popular restaurants.

You can grab food to go from your favourite venue and eat it beneath a charming yellow umbrella. 

Both Madrina and El Catrin have created grab'n go stations, and you can pick up Spanish Street Food and authentic Mexican eats from these spots.

There is also free parking in the Distillery District all summer long.

Patios around Ontario are adapting to new social distancing regulations.
