Top 5 Prairie Patios in Winnipeg

1. Santa Lucia

Try the fresh dough on the tall, dark patio at this double decker outside eatery. Pizza with a view! On a lively corner of St. Mary’s Road, there is a lot to see and hear with rich red wine and the ambience of a warm Winnipeg night.

2. Teo’s

Finding a table has trumped finding a parking spot in Little Italy. This new, expansive restaurant has become the first along the Avenue to reach out onto the street with sweet and savory appetizers and ample patio seats for its upscale casual outdoor patrons.

3. Earl’s

Standing room only inside, the patio is a favourite for the free-spirited business casuals who want a seat in the sun. Even the hostesses greet you at the curb. For some excellent pan bread and wings, this is the place to be, especially on a Friday night.

4. Saffron’s

A famous and well-loved hot spot year-round, this restaurant must seat more outside than inside. The umbrellas make it more exclusive, but aside from the calamari and the carbonara, the appeal is definitely the people-watching.

5. Terrace in the Park

The beauty of the building is nothing compared to the scenery surrounding it. Sit outside for some locally grown, green cuisine. From bison to pickerel, there is something stunning to please the palate, right in the heart of Assiniboine Park.
