Who among us can resist traditional pub fare on a newly installed curblane patio? Who among us?! At House on Parliament you'll find all the food and drink and patio-time your heart desires, as this local favourite is one of ten new curblane patios added to Cabbagetown this year.

Chinatown

If you’re not familiar with El Mocambo’s neon palm tree sign, you need to spend more time in Chinatown! The infamous music venue has seen the neighbourhood go through many transformations since its inception in 1948, not the least of which is the installation of its new curb lane patio, aptly named "Under The Neon Palms".

A favourite local Corktown spot, Henrietta Lane's atmosphere is perfect for harnessing that small-town feeling without ever having to leave the city. Their new patio means you don't even have to leave the curb.

Avling Kitchen and Brewery boasts a large curblane patio with one of the most iconic symbols of summer: Muskoka chairs! Cottage Life is an attitude, baby. Kick back, set your email auto-reply to "out of office" and lean into the idea of ordering a second round of everything.

Little Italy

There’s no doubt one of the best things to do in Little Italy is eat. Life is short, and curb lane patio season only comes once a year, so if you’re visiting Giovanni's Italian Kitchen & Pizza Bar, give yourself the gift of indulgence by ordering some of their Italian fare.

Mount Pleasant
