OpenTable is helping Canadians embrace the warmer days ahead with the release of its annual Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Canada 2024. The list is compiled by analyzing more than 1.1 million diner reviews and metrics, including diner ratings and the percentage of restaurants for which "Outdoor Dining" was selected as a special feature.(1) 

“There is no temperature too cold to deter Canadians from dining outdoors amongst views and fresh air, with several cities, including Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg, seating diners outdoors as early as January 1,”(2) says Matt Davis, Country Director Canada. “From patios to rooftops, our list of Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining has an alfresco dining setting for all, including Amsterdam Brewhouse and Restaurant’s patio looking over the Toronto waterfront to the Rockies towering above Bridgette Bar in Canmore.”  

Wineries, breweries and taverns with producers of brews and bubbles for their outdoor fare.    

• The Good Earth Vineyard And Winery in Niagara is an oasis, surrounded by gardens, orchards and vineyards, featuring dishes as stunning as the views, like the Iberico Pluma Pork and the Ricotta Gnudi.  
• Fresh local ingredients and vineyard views make Old Vines Restaurant at Quail’s Gate Winery a B.C. standout for outdoor dining, where guests can enjoy Oysters on the Half Shell and Pan Seared Ling Cod amongst the vines.   

Spots with year-round patios remain popular into the summer months.  

• Views of Montréal’s Place Jacques-Cartier, the St. Lawrence River and the Ferris wheel can be taken in from the year-round patio at Terrasse William Gray, best enjoyed alongside their Salade Niçoise Revisitée or the Pavé de Saumon.   
• El Catrin’s patio is as vibrant as the Mexican food they serve, and open in Toronto’s Distillery District year-round, where guests can enjoy a variety of tacos in the winter air or summer heat.  

The following restaurants in Ontario, in alphabetical order, are included in the list of Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Canada for 2024, according to OpenTable diners.
