Happy thursday,
Happening soon - Winter Patio & Campfire Dining!
Lets go ... |
When winter settles over Edmonton, most cities retreat indoors, Edmonton pulls up a chair outside.
Winter patio dining has become one of the city's most beloved cold-weather traditions, with restaurants, breweries, and parks transforming outdoor spaces into heated sanctuaries that keep locals coming back all season long.
Campio Brewing Co. anchors the scene with a tented, heated downtown patio that thrives in January. Odd Company Brewing and Sea Change Brewing, a staple of Happy Beer Street, round out the craft brewery experience with fully winterized setups and crowd-pleasing menus.
For something more intimate, Tiramisu Bistro and Café Bloom at the Muttart Conservatory both offer bookable heated domes, glowing, blanket-equipped, and genuinely romantic. Cafe Bicyclette brings European ease to the mix with a dog-friendly heated patio perfect for long weekend brunches.
Beyond restaurant patios, Edmonton's river valley parks offer fire ring bookings at spots like Emily Murphy and Victoria Park, firewood included.
Here, the best meals don't happen in spite of the cold — they happen because of it. Read More... |
