Anatoli is one of my favourite restaurants in the Lower Lonsdale area. You truly can’t go wrong with their mouth watering menu items, and their patio is very cozy – perfect for date night! Make sure to order saganaki and taramasalata as part of your appetizers, trust me you’ll love it!

BLVD Bistro

In the mood for brunch? A delicious caesar? BLVD Bistro is the place to go! It’s a local favourite, and their patio is seriously perfect for the warmer days we have ahead. If you’re planning to make a visit this weekend, I would highly recommend leaving about 30 minutes of wiggle room as there is typically a wait at the door.

The Beach Houses’ extended oceanfront patio is spectacular! If you’re a fan of seafood, trust me, you’ll be in seafood heaven here. Sit back, take in the beautiful scenery, and enjoy a delicious meal here this weekend.

Tap & Barrels’ patios are the ideal spot to unwind with cold craft beers and a laid-back ambience. Whether you’re in the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood or you have ventured downtown, the patio spaces at these restaurants are very impressive!

Ancora Ambleside
Ancora False Creek

Ancora serves Peruvian and Japanese cuisine while incorporating the traditions of West Coast sustainable seafood. You won’t want to miss out on these picturesque patio views and seriously delicious food options.

I hope you enjoy these wonderful patio spaces this weekend and soak up the much needed sunshine headed our way – don’t forget sunscreen!
