31 covered patios in Toronto where you can eat outside during the fall and winter - blogTO

Indoor dining is currently prohibited throughout Toronto thanks to modified provincial Stage 2 restrictions, so the city is working on a plan to ensure restaurants can provide outdoor dining to customers all winter long.

Earlier this summer, the city introduced the CafTO program as a way to help restaurants and bars create and expand patios through an expedited process, including on sidewalks, private property, rooftops andin curb lanes.

Mayor John Tory said yesterday that all curb lane patios will soon, unfortunately, have to come down to allow for inevitable snow clearing, but a list of newwinter dining recommendations put forward by Tory aimsto ensure that all other patio types can remain and be usable throughout the season.

The list of recommendations includes extending the CafTO program from Nov.16 to April 14, waiving the fees for any curbside caf or frontage caf, and authorizing Economic Development and Culture to work with Destination Toronto and all business improvement to support safe winter economy initiatives and promote the winter economy including BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket)campaigns promoting winter patios.

Tory's executive committee unanimously approved the new recommendations at a meeting Wednesday morning, and they'llgo to city council for final approval next week.

"This is the right thing to do. We know winter is coming and we need to support winter patios as much as possible now. We need to give businesses the flexibility to operate where safe and possible through the winter months," said Tory in a statement.

"While we have some limitations with respect to patios in curb lanes and ensuring we can safely clear our roads from the snow, there are opportunities that allow us to continue the success of patios through the winter in areas, such as sidewalks and private property including parking lots."

These new measures are in addition toa previously-announced extension of existing zoning bylaw amendments, and the city also announced that portable heating devices, including fire-fuelled appliances like propane heaters, would be allowed on all outdoor patio types in Torontoabout a month ago.

Since temperatures first started to dip, local restaurants have also been introducing a variety of new features and measures to facilitate outdoor dining in the cooler weather, including putting up different portable domes and pods to shield diners from the elements.

TheBroadview Danforth BIA, meanwhile, announced today that they're launchingFall Thrill of the Chill,a program providing free thermal blankets to all outdoor diners in the neighbourhood.

"These recommendations approved today will allow us to continue the success of CafTO through the winter and do our part to help a number of these businesses through this difficult time,"said Tory.

"I am also engaged in continuous discussions with the industry itself, with our officials and with the other governments to further find ways we can help."

Here's what Toronto is doing to make winter patios happen - blogTO

Will the pandemic result in more restaurants creating warm, welcoming outdoor spaces?

Of all the businesses feeling the sting of the pandemic, perhaps none have been hit harder than the restaurant industry.

At its outset last March, Nathan McLaughlin (Cook 04) and his business partner at Edmonton restaurants Next Act Pub, Meat and Pip were forced to lay off 110 employees.

It was definitely the hardest day of our lives, says McLaughlin, chef and co-owner of the Old Strathcona eateries.

As the weather warmed and public health restrictions relaxed, the restaurant group eventually hired back 98% of its staff. A key part of the businesses resurgence, he says, were loyal customers hungry for dining spaces that made socialization as safe as possible. At Next Act, new temporary rules for patios that were implemented by the city to help restaurants through the pandemic allowed the business to expand onto the sidewalk and triple its outdoor seating capacity.

It definitely helped a lot, says McLaughlin.

As the days grow colder and darker, restaurants across the city are considering whether to winterize outdoor spaces for expanded seating and choice for customers leery of indoor dining.

McLaughlin says theyve spent the past couple of weeks installing new propane firepits on their patios and theyre mulling options such as temporary coverings. But theyre unsure how far to go. Edmonton may bill itself as a winter city but the reality is that only a handful of local eateries have created year-round outdoor dining spaces.

If McLaughlin spends the money to build a winter patio, will anyone actually come?

The answer may depend on design. Restaurateurs and customers alike will need to fully embrace the idea of a winter city, says Landscape Architectural Technology chair Jennifer Jones (class of 05). Here, she discusses what it will take to redefine patio season in Edmonton, and preserve precious revenue-generating space for an industry that needs it most.

According to Jones, designing a winter patio, whether for a restaurant or at home, neednt be complicated or cost-prohibitive. But it does require paying attention to five basic elements: wind, sun, lighting, colour and infrastructure.

These categories, from Edmontons winter design guidelines, are taught to NAIT students as part of a winter city design course launched last year. Jones designed the curriculum to introduce students to urban design concepts that can be applied to spaces for use year-round.

If youre addressing the wind, youre providing warmth.

This is a new conversation for our region but there are northern countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland that have been doing this forever, she says.

When it comes to patio designs for winter, Jones says spaces on the south side of a building can take advantage of warmth from sunshine and block bone-chilling winds blowing from the northwest. If youre addressing the wind, youre providing warmth.

Fencing and temporary screening also help keep drafts away, but so can natural design features such as coniferous trees. Awnings can also help block frigid down-drafts from tall buildings.

Infrastructure such as propane heaters and fireplaces are typically the only way to introduce heat to such spaces, Jones says. From an aesthetic perspective I always prefer wood burning, but you cant always go by aesthetics. It comes down to function.

When the sun sets in the early afternoon, lighting and colour become other critical elements to creating a welcoming space. Low-cost elements like an umbrella can add a pop of brightness and a sense of enclosure, she says.

If a patio just isnt an option, Jones says restaurant owners might consider other ideas such as a pickup window for takeout or selling hot chocolate to help embrace winter.

You dont have to do everything.

Jones points to examples such as the year-round patio at Cafe Bicyclette and the iceway at Victoria Park and skating trails at Borden Park as great examples of spaces and design that are changing peoples attitudes about what a winter experience is, she says.

This could be Edmontons identity that were a winter city."

This could be Edmontons identity that were a winter city. If we embrace various levels of design, where no matter where you go in winter, youre having a comfortable time that could be a great personality for a city.

Toronto's newest heated, covered patio is set to be the biggest one yet.

Called The Marquee, it'll be popping up at Cabana's waterfront patio, and will encompass 5,400 square feet of heated, covered space.

The concept will come with a brand new menu designed by Oliver & Bonacini, seasonal cocktails and an interactive art installation by Bruno Billio.

Cabana transformed from a "pool bar" to a "waterfront patio" at the beginning of the summer, forgoing dance and lounge space for reservation-only seated dining.

The space will be able tohold 200 peoplespaced six feet apart, and will be only open Thursday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Natural gas blowers located outside the tent will apparently blow hot air into the tent through ducts.

According to a spokesperson from Cabana, the patio will alsobe bathed in a permanent sunset thanks to an installation called TRON: As The Sun Sets by Bruno Billiothat uses pink and yellow neon as well as colour-filtered moving projections, and will feature a jewel-like glowing orange Hennessy bar.

As for the new menu, expect raw bar offerings, steak, fried chicken, pizza, burgers and fish n' chips.

Cocktail creations themed around the changing seasons include a Fireball Hot Toddy, Red Bull Winter Storm, Warm Fashioned and Allspice Sour. The Marquee willbe launching brunch starting in November.

Theyre also doing a special Halloween dinner where they're encouraging everyoneto come in costume, so if you'relooking for a distanced way to get out of the house for the holiday, you might want to look into booking a reso.

The new patio opens thisSaturday, Oct. 24.

Here are the 43 Fort Collins bars, breweries and restaurants with expanded outdoor patios - Coloradoan

The curbside patios and bicycle-lane bump-outs along Danforth Ave. that drew widespread acclaim this summer are about to be packed up.

The citys Planning and Housing Committee voted Tuesday to extend patio season in Toronto until May 2021, with the exception of patios that were set up in curb lanes.

Those must be closed in the next few weeks, to allow winter road clearance to swing into action as soon as the snow begins to fly.

As much as we would love to leave the patios in the curb lanes, all of those patios will come out, said Mayor John Tory, at a press conference Tuesday morning. We have to plow the roads when it starts to snow.

All curb locations for CafeTO, including those on Danforth Ave., must be removed before Nov. 15, according to the city. All ActiveTO cycling network locations, including the Danforth, are scheduled to remain in place until the fall of 2021.

When curb-lane patios along Danforth Ave. are removed, the bike lanes will be realigned to the curb to match the rest of the cycling corridor. Parking and loading opportunities that were temporarily removed to provide patio space will be reinstated.

Restaurant owners were doubtful Tuesday that extending the patio program will provide a significant source of revenue during the coldest months of the year, adding to the financial problems COVID-19 has already created for them.

Theyre not really giving us anything unless we have some miracle Indian summer and its 25 degrees in the first week in November or December, said George Markakos, who owns Factory Girl on the Danforth. Then it would be wow were still open but thats very unlikely.

He was able to take advantage of the patio program this summer that gave restaurants more latitude when it comes to setting up tables in curb lanes, sidewalks and parking lots, by setting up an additional 50 tables outside, including in the curb lane. Hes grateful for that; without it, he would be much worse off financially today.

But he wouldnt have continued operating in the curb lane even if the city would have permitted it.

He doesnt think extending the patio season in a city with a cold winter climate is likely to bring in extra business, even if he were would be able to put out heaters and moving heaters inside at the end of the day just isnt practical, because theyre so large and heavy.

This is Canada. Outdoor dining in below-zero weather is just not an option, said Markakos, who has run as many as three restaurants at a time in Toronto and was hoping to retire before the pandemic hit and his business began operating at a loss.

Restaurateur David Currie of Le Paradis, said while being able to expand his patio during the summer was helpful, hes not sure keeping it open in winter will be practical. Most of the food, unless he served just piping hot soups and stews, would be cold by the time it got to the table. All it would take would be a cold wind to make an outdoor patio inhospitable in winter, even with heaters.

Its hard to make a business plan out of this, he said.

In the end, he said, it will depend on what kind of enclosures will be allowed and how much they will cost Tory even raised the possibility of permitting bubble enclosures, but details of what will be permitted have not been finalized.

The matter is likely to be discussed in the context of the citys recovery plan Wednesday at executive committee. The recommendations approved Tuesday, including looking at options for providing shelter on winter patios, will be considered by city council on Oct. 27.

James Rilett, a spokesperson for Restaurants Canada, said restaurants need capital to invest in winter patios and after months of reduced business due to restrictions brought on by the pandemic, they dont have any capital reserves left.

Were almost eight months into this now, and some restaurants have accrued so much debt it will be hard to invest in something that theyre not sure if its going to work out or not, he said. There is a feeling of hesitancy.

Tony Elenis, chief executive of the Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association, said efforts to extend outdoor dining are better aimed at making indoor dining safe.

Extending the patio season is welcomed it has a good intent, said Elenis, whose association represents operators about 11,000 Ontario hospitality businesses. But to do it well, it would end up resembling an indoor space, which would be subjected to the same restrictions on dining in that restaurants are currently facing.

Loading...Loading...Loading...Loading...Loading...

The focus should be to work in making the indoor room safer and increasing consumer confidence, he said.

He added that a safety accreditation program for restaurant and bar staff and improving the federal COVID Alert app would help.

Toronto's curb-lane patios on the Danforth and elsewhere must soon be packed up - Toronto Star

Erin Gamelin started scouring the internet for a cost-effective version of the outdoor dining pods shed seen photos of online when stricter public health measures shut down indoor dining in Ontarios COVID-19 hot spots this month.

She settled on mini greenhouses that fit perfectly over a table for two on the patio of her Toronto establishment and ordered 10 for $1,000. The eye-catching tables, that come with a complimentary blanket, have been a hit with customers at Louis Cifer Brew Works.

But Gamelin is skeptical the makeshift pods, or her business, will make it through an Ontario winter if indoor restaurant dining remains banned in the city after Nov. 7.

It remains to be seen if these can survive the snow and the elements, Gamelin said. I dont really want to test that theory.

Some temporary patios that popped up in Toronto curb lanes during the summer will have to come down for snow clearing, but city council is considering allowing others on sidewalks and parking lots to stay open through the winter.

Restaurant operators, however, are doubtful that a government-sanctioned winter patio season will guarantee success.

Itll be up to the consumer and the weather to decide if theyre going to extend patio season, Gamelin said.

Indoor dining at bars and restaurants was banned province-wide when the pandemic hit in the spring, and is currently prohibited once more in the four COVID-19 hotspots of Toronto, Peel Region, York Region and Ottawa.

James Rilett, vice-president with industry group Restaurants Canada, said operators are struggling with debt accrued since the first shutdown and many are not able to take the financial risk of investing in available solutions like patio heaters and weather protection.

Theres also confusion in the sector over municipal guidelines for COVID-safe outdoor dining, such as requirements for natural ventilation in tents that could make heaters inefficient, Rilett said.

Theyre wanting to do it right but theyre also going to want to do something thatll be successful, Rilett said. No matter how good the heater is, if the winds blowing down your back, its going to be hard to be comfortable.

Ottawa restaurant owner Tony Canonico said hes frustrated there was no warning from the government before the second shutdown.

He had already dismantled the patio at Mezzonotte Italian restaurant when the indoor dining closure was announced, and he estimates it cost close to $4,200 to reinstall it.

Canonico said he understands the importance of the regulations but people in the sector like himself feel unfairly targeted after complying with the rules all summer.

Weve done it to save lives. But its growing very tiresome, Canonico said.

Theres also the question of at what point an outdoor dining tent becomes an indoor space, making safety precautions moot.

Municipalities have generally asked for two sides of dining tents to remain open.

Dr. Susy Hota, medical director of infection prevention and control at Torontos University Health Network, said its a fine line that depends on how much air is flowing through the structure, but exposure to the elements might make it challenging to operate a dining room.

She said with all precautions in place, outdoor dining doesnt pose a greater risk than have a socially distanced visit with a friend outdoors.

But its easy to slip up in a restaurant setting where people are inclined to speak loudly, sit close together, not wear masks and share food, which increases the risk of transmission, she said.

Its also an industry where spaces arent uniform across the board, making targeted restrictions on indoor dining particularly complicated, she said.

Its a tough one, Hota said. Not every restaurant is designed the same way and not all are in the same types of building and they have variable practices.

Domenic Santaguida said he plans to fight the $880 fine handed to his Ottawa restaurant last week for not having enough patio tent panels open.

He said the business has opened some panels on the tent at Vittoria Trattoria, but he argues it would be impossible to run a restaurant with a half-open tent in the fall and winter, especially at his location near the Ottawa river.

Weve had to chase stuff down the street in the middle of summer with the wind, he said. Its not realistic at all.
