Restaurants across Toronto are finally reopening and these rooftop patios — along with their miraculous views of the cityscape — are calling your name.
It’s high time to soak up the sunshine!
Serving up cold drinks alongside al fresco dining, these spots soar high above the rest. Whether the heights are offering views of the CN Tower, or sights reminiscent of Brooklyn, NY, you’re going to like what you see from up here.
These are the rooftops at the top of Toronto’s patio scene:

The east side hotel offers sweeping views of the city from its rooftop deck. The strip-club-turned-boutique-hotel is easily one of the hottest spots in the city this summer… don’t be surprised if there’s a (physically-distanced) queue just to get up the elevator.
