Modern Steak

I think this spot on Stephen Ave wins for Calgary's most beautiful rooftop patio – it has amazing views of the Calgary tower and downtown! NOTE: while it's more expensive to eat and drink here, it's well worth it for the experience.

Freehouse

Located in Kensington, this rooftop patio is a true beer garden.  Chill vibes, lotsa local craft beer, and menu items all made from scratch to be had on this patio in Kensington. Plus, wherever I've gone it hasn't been that busy, which is always a bonus.

 Spectacular views and whiskey-inspired cocktails to sip on at the One 18 Empire rooftop! This is a hidden gem because the walkway up to it doesn't stand out, so there's always lots of space for socializing!

River Café Restaurant

Orchard Restaurant

 A new restaurant (opened spring 2023) set up in a historic building on a quiet sidestreet in the Beltline. There’s a covered atrium as well as an open air portion, so you can still get some patio time in, even if the weather isn’t cooperating.

 Nestled into a serene spot along the river, their terrace feels more like you’re off somewhere romantic and rustic rather than surrounded by a busy city. Parking can be a struggle at times, but the path through Prince's Island Park to this special spot helps make up for it.
