Must-Visit Toronto Patios Before the End of Summer

August is over, and the warm weather is winding down, which means the city's patio scene will return to being practically non-existent. The pandemic caused everyone to adjust to new dining regulations and resulted in patios popping up all over the city. The beginning of September and perhaps October will be the last bit of good weather until the spring. That means that you have to get those last patio visits in! This is a list of some must-visit patios before the official end of warm weather. There are several restaurants and bars around the city that will no longer serve patrons outdoors once fall is in full swing, but this list is of some of the city's larger, sprawling patio spaces. Unfortunately, the patio season is short-lived in Toronto, but there is still time to enjoy the warm weather.

Cabana Waterfront Patio

Probably one of the most well known and most extensive patios in Toronto. Cabana Pool Bar has rebranded itself as Cabana Waterfront Patio -- a tamer and more physical distance friendly outdoor space ideal for the current times. The patio even hosts outdoor movie nights!
