Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta top this summer's outdoor dining destinations in this second-annual list
TORONTO, June 13, 2017 /CNW/ -- Grab your sunglasses and
appetites! With patio season in full swing, OpenTable, the
world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations and part of The Priceline Group (NASDAQ: PCLN), today announced the
100 Best Outdoor Dining
Restaurants in Canada for 2017. These awards reflect the combined opinions of more than
515,000 restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 2,000 restaurants in Canada.
The official start of summer is almost here and Canadians can take advantage by indulging at some of the best outdoor dining
experiences across the country. From the panoramic views of Grapevine Restaurant &
Patio at Gray Monk Estate Winery in Kelowna to the vibrant rooftop of The Chase in Toronto, this
second-annual list features outdoor tables from coast-to-coast to suit any occasion. Including restaurants with multiple
locations, Ontario has the greatest number of restaurants featured with 44, followed by
British Columbia with 27 and Alberta with 16. Québec has eight
restaurants recognized, while Manitoba has five. Nova Scotia is
also represented on this list.
"Canadian patio season never lasts as long as we want. With this list from OpenTable, locals and tourists can spend less time
hunting for the perfect spot to grab a drink or share a meal and more time soaking up the beautiful weather," said Ziv Schierau, Head of National Accounts for OpenTable Canada. "From West Coast estate wineries to Rocky
Mountain retreats and al fresco urban escapes, this list showcases some of the country's best outdoor dining destinations this
summer."
The 100 Best Outdoor
Dining Restaurants list is generated solely from more than 515,000 restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable
diners between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017. 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 "great for outdoor dining" was selected as a special
feature.
Based on this methodology, the 100 Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants in Canada according to
OpenTable diners are as follows (in alphabetical order):
