Whats better than sitting outside dining on your favorite food? Dining outside overlooking the ocean enjoying some of the best Japanese food around. Offering a truly exceptional view of the Pacific just steps from the crashing waves, Nobu Malibu features a patio that rivals them all. Circular tables span the length of the patio giving anyone dining here a great outdoor experience. So, wherever youre sitting at the table, you can be sure you have a view of the beautiful blue water with the sun or stars above you. The restaurant also features a Japanese garden as if the view wasnt good enough! Add to that the outstanding menu selection including items like a king crab salad, mini tacos, as well as a sushi menu, and this is undoubtedly a winning combination.

When AOC moved their restaurant location in 2012, one of the best things to change was the addition of a fabulous outdoor patio which is easily the focal point for diners at this Californian wine bar. Offering small plates, tapas and great cocktails, a wide open space awaits you as you walk inside, giving patrons a beautiful space to grab brunch, lunch or dinner. Its a great place to grab a drink too. What makes AOC great is that is that even if you get seated inside, it will feel as if youre seated outside. The lack of doors and open nature of the restaurant make this Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne restaurant easily one of the best patio dining experiences around.

If you like the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles, then heading to the Sunset Plaza to dine is the place to be. Add to that the beautiful outdoor patio that overlooks the Sunset Strip and you have one of LAs top French restaurants, Le Petit Four. A favorite celeb hangout, Le Petit Four features a truly international menu including items like steak au poivre, a boudin noir, as well as chicken marsala, pizza and other international selections. Whats even better about this restaurant is the parking is free.

If you havent had a chance to visit one of LAs most historic and storied hotels, youre certainly missing out. Yes, the hotel is a treasure, but what locals come for is the beautiful outdoor patio. It lives up to all of the hype it gets. The garden terrace, which feels as if youre sitting amongst a truly lush Californian inspired garden is what its all about here. Grab some wine, a cocktail, some of their delicious food, or just grab a seat. Whether you decide to drink, dine, do both or just enjoy the scenery, itll be well worth it.
