The best Toronto patios to hang with your dog at this summer (MAP)

Many restaurants take a laissez-faire approach when it comes to bringing your pup into the patio space, or tethering up directly outside it.

We’re spotlighting the most accommodating spots, as well as patios that are that are perfectly positioned (read: tucked away from bustling traffic) so that both you and your best friend can relax.

Read on to learn the most fur-friendly patios in the city.

Local Public Eatery

I love my job cause everyone brings their puppies to the patio 😁

Staff at this Liberty Village confirm that dogs are indeed welcome on their patio. Only one change should be noted: this summer, pups are asked to stay off the seats to accommodate for folks with allergies, and to keep chairs hair-free. Fair enough, to be able to enjoy a brew alongside your fuzzy pal!

The Fifth

While canine guests aren’t technically allowed on the patio itself, dogs are more than welcome to hang out on the other side of the railing adjacent to the tables. Situated down a traffic-free laneway makes it a relatively safe spot to rest, while bowls of water served to dogs just reinforces that four-legged friends are welcome.
