Three Windsor-Essex restaurants have been ranked among the best in Canada for outdoor dining.
OpenTable released its annual list of the 100 most popular outdoor dining restaurants in the country, just in time for the unofficial start of summer.
The Sandbar Waterfront Grill in Lakeshore and the Keg Steakhouse on Riverside Drive downtown and Harbour House Waterfront Eatery in east Windsor made the list.
The list is compiled by analyzing more than 1.1 million diner reviews and metrics, including diner ratings and the percentage of restaurants for which "Outdoor Dining" was selected as a special feature.
“There is no temperature too cold to deter Canadians from dining outdoors amongst views and fresh air, with several cities, including Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg, seating diners outdoors as early as January 1,”says Matt Davis, country director Canada. “From patios to rooftops, our list of Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining has an alfresco dining setting for all, including Amsterdam Brewhouse and Restaurant’s patio looking over the Toronto waterfront to the Rockies towering above Bridgette Bar in Canmore.”People enjoys drinks and friends on outdoor patios during the COVID-19 pandemic in downtown Toronto on Friday, June 11, 2021.
