Restaurants spanning five provinces recognized as top outdoor
dining destinations
TORONTO, June 20, 2018 /CNW/ -- As we approach the
first official day of summer and prime season for patio dining,
OpenTable, the world's leading provider of online restaurant
reservations and part of Booking Holdings,
Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), today unveiled the 100 Best
Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Canada for 2018. The list ensures that diners
across the country can find all the gorgeous patios and refreshing
menus to enjoy some summer sunshine.
Restaurant patios across the country have made their way onto
this year's list, with Ontario
eateries claiming the greatest number (41) of honourees, followed
by British Columbia with 30 and
Alberta with 17. Quebec (8) and Manitoba (4) are also represented.
"The longest day of the year marks open season on Canada's patios. The option to enjoy food and
drink in an al fresco setting makes the experience that much more
memorable," said Caroline Potter,
Chief Dining Officer at OpenTable. "This list is a delicious
resource for locals and travelers seeking to make the most of their
summer eating adventures."
The list includes a variety of different outdoor dining options,
from the ocean view patio at Vancouver's Teahouse in Stanley Park and the
charming hidden back patio at Toronto's Sidecar, to the relaxing lakeside
patio at Wellington's Drake
Devonshire Inn.
Canada's 100 Best
Restaurants for Outdoor Dining list is generated solely from more
than 550,000 restaurant reviews collected from
verified OpenTable diners between May 1, 2017 and April 30,
2018. All restaurants with a minimum "overall" score and
number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration.
Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the
percentage of reviews for which "outdoor dining" was selected as a
special feature.
Based on this methodology, the following restaurants, listed in
alphabetical order, comprise the 100 Best Restaurants for Outdoor
Dining in Canada for 2018
according to OpenTable diners. The complete list may also be viewed
