Better weather is just around the corner, and to help you make plans for after-work drinks and al fresco dining, we put together a list of some of our favourite patios in Yorkville.Whether you’re looking for a delicious meal, craft cocktails, or great people watching, here are five patios to check out this spring.

ONE RESTAURANTThe tree-lined, wrap-around patio at the Hazelton Hotel’s ONE Restaurant is known for fabulous people watching and delicious food. The all-day dining menu, led by Executive Chef Darby Piquette, features premium ingredients like Wagyu beef and organic Irish salmon.

ALOBAR YORKVILLEWhen the weather is pleasant, the Michelin-starred restaurant Alobar Yorkville also offers patio seating. Stop by for an expertly-crafted cocktail, and you might be tempted to add the sea bream ceviche or fresh oysters to your order, too.

THE OXLEYPerfect for a pint or dinner with friends, the Oxley Public House on Yorkville Avenue offers classic British dishes made from scratch, including fish & chips and a mushroom and cheese pithivier pie.

TRATTORIA NERVOSAIf you’re hoping to meet friends on the patio at Trattoria Nervosa on a sunny day, the wait can be lengthy because the restaurant is walk-in only.
