Windsor Essex has no shortage of patios – many restaurants and bars have built new ones in the last few years. But which ones have the right combination of delicious fare and an excellent location? We’ve laid out the best of Windsor Essex County’s patios for you.
This one is hard to beat – Oxley’s charming patio seems to go on forever. For lunch or dinner, you might find yourself shaded under their vine house or seated next to their large outdoor fireplace. Their restaurant is perfect for a night out or special occasions. They also host daily wine tastings and live music once a month.
Why choose one patio when you can visit a giant, shared one in Kingsville? Between July 2 and September 3 each year, Kingsville closes a portion of Division and Mainstreet. During the day, there are free concerts and activities for families, and in the evening, restaurants and bars are open later than usual. Don’t miss out on local favourites like El Diablo and Eclectic Love.
This little gem is tucked away on Maiden Lane, just off Ouellette. If you’re a wine or cocktail buff – this is the place to go. Maiden Lane Wine and Spirits have a sommelier on staff, and their bartenders painstakingly create unique and delicious cocktail recipes. Their bar snacks are unique; they cure their own charcuterie and often serve oysters. Their most popular nights are when they host guest chefs – make sure you get there early!
