The top patios in Leslieville will have you getting your daily dose of vitamin D on the east side. While Toronto's west side might offer a bevy of boutique hotel rooftop patios and sidewalk spots at buzzy eateries, this neighbourhood is much more low key.
Here are my picks for the top patios in Leslieville.
Eastside Social
This back patio harkens images of cottage life, which pairs perfectly with its seafood menu. If you want to forget that you're smack in the middle of thriving metropolis, head here and enjoy some oysters by the outdoor fire.
Ceili Cottage
This sidewalk patio is a local favourite. Its white picket fence, multitude of tables and generally cheery crowd make it a popular option where lineups can be expected. Go here for traditional pub fare, good beer and oysters with a view of Queen East.
Lil' Baci
Do what the locals do and eat your Italian on the back patio at this neighbourhood mainstay. The space is decked out with overhead canopies and strings of lights and flower boxes, making it pretty charming.
Dundas and Carlaw
This cafe/bar hybrid has a sweet corner patio looking out onto - you guessed it - the corner of Dundas and Carlaw. The space is equipped with simple patio furniture, awnings and umbrellas to shield you from the sun and a menu stacked with all the summer favourites: iced coffee, craft beer and sangria.
Brooklyn Tavern
If you're wondering why this restaurant isn't packed at dinnertime it's because everyone's on the secluded back patio drinking local wine and beer and feasting on a menu with standouts like their New York strip steak.
