The Boathouse Restaurant
An address on Beach Avenue in English Bay is a good first step towards an excellent patio. The second is an establishment that cares enough to have created an outdoor menu full of lighter fare choices that are perfect for snacking on in the sunshine.

The Havana is super-friendly, and the eclectic crowd on Commercial Drive means that people-watching opportunities just don’t get any better than this. The food is reputed to top that of Cuba’s capital city, and you can even bring your dog along! This patio is where the hip get happenin’ in East Van.

Il Giardino
The patio at Il Giardino is a paradise of fragrant flowers and scene-setting greenery. You’ll feel like you’ve just stepped into a family-owned cantina along the Amalfi Coast.
