The Best Patios in Toronto for Outdoor Dining

OpenTable

Looking for the best patio in Toronto because you too can feel summer getting closer every day? The sun is shining, the air is getting warmer and people are leaving their winter hibernation to reconnect with friends and family. And nothing says summer is coming more than the Victoria Day long weekend, also known as May Two-Four. This long weekend is often referred to as the unofficial start to summer and we cannot think of a better way to kick off the sunny season than soaking up the sun on a patio.
