Summer is coming, and that means patio season is upon us. So, scope these patios out before the tourists come flooding up our streets and lining up for those precious patio moments.

Glo Restaurant + Lounge

Featuring a 180-degree view of the Selkirk Waterway, just minutes away from the Galloping Goose Trail, Glo Restaurant + Lounge is a fantastic location for intimate and relaxed dining—including the perfect patio to enjoy any season. With every seat in the restaurant showcasing the vista, it’s no surprise it’s taken top spot.

Boomtown Burritos

This restaurant opened in December 2021 and was started by Christian Barnard and Patrick Lynch. Boomtown Burritos is an unfussy, “leave-your-BS-at-the-door,” independent place to knock a few back and dine on some top quality tex-mex with your pals on its fantastic patio—or grab that vibe to go.

Boom + Batten

With its perfect view of the Inner Harbour, Boom + Batten’s elevated casual dining offers guests an experience inspired by the Pacific Northwest surroundings. The stunning architecture and detailed décor are almost as impressive as the sweeping waterfront views.
