Photoblog – Patios on Ossington

It’s PATIO SEASON! And of course there’s lots of great places on Ossington to enjoy a pint or a meal. Here’s some of the options we found and captured on a walk early this evening.

Starting at the bottom of Ossington, we have the hidden patio of Sweaty Betty’s:

Moving up to Union Restaurant, they’ve created a nice oasis where you can enjoy local food and drinks.

Up at Argyle you can enjoy your pho and other Vietnamese food outdoors at the Golden Turtle:

Across the street, one of the newest additions to the outdoor eating scene is, of course, the Bellwoods Brewery patio. Fine local beers, with a retail shop next door where you can pick up the bottles to take home.

Another hidden gem on the street is the back patio of Reposado. Try out some tequila cocktails while enjoying the outdoors. Don’t forget this Sunday is Cinco de Mayo.

At the south corner of Rolyat we have one of the oldest on-street patios at The Crooked Star.

Up on the north corner of that same intersection you can find burgers, beers and sun at the BQM patio.

Around the corner on Dundas, you’ll find the Lakeview patio – a good place to enjoy the outdoors. Get there early for an outdoor seat for brunch:

Finally, you can enjoy some sports at Opera Bobs. They even have a TV right inside the window so you can follow the game while outdoors:

And speaking of Foxley, the namesake restaurant has a very nice back seating area which isn’t open yet, but I’m sure will be soon.

Go out and enjoy the weekend!
