Raglan's Bistro

15 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver, BC V7M 2E4

Sure, their patio may only fit two tables of four people, but that’s all the more reason to arrive early and secure patio seats for your party. Within a moment’s walk of the harbour front, you can enjoy one of their perfect burgers while taking in the wonderful North Van sunlight. Warning: the Republican Burger has turned the staunchest reds very blue! Such are the delightful menu options; it’ll have you changing ideologies in the bright afternoon sunlight!

Pasparos Taverna Greek Food

132 3rd St W, North Vancouver, BC V7M 1E8

The stunning courtyard patio is only one reason to visit Pasparos. The extensive wine menu is perfectly paired with many of the dinner and lunch options. With fresh flowers and plants throughout offering an intimate setting for both couples and business meetings alike, this patio offers privacy with your high quality Greek meal. They even give the Irish a run for their money with their perfectly roasted potatoes.

Tommy's Cafe

1308 Ross Rd, North Vancouver, BC V7J 1V2

Open for breakfast and lunch, Tommy’s is mainly a catering business. So, when they decided to put their skills towards a sit-down menu, they found that locals and visitors alike flocked from all over to try it. The patio is a wonderful spot to decide on your day’s plans while waiting for the famous Fungi Benny. Visit often to take advantage of their delicious coffee and extensive breakfast menu, enjoyed on the delightful patio. Small town coziness fills the atmosphere at Tommy’s.

Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar

25 Wallace Mews, North Vancouver, BC V7L 0B9

Watch the cruise ships sail away as you enjoy a Granville Island beer and consider your next vacation. On the rare occasion that a group of whales wanders into the harbour, you’ll probably see it from Pier 7’s patio. Perfect for a drink and a small bite in the beautiful weather, this place offers plenty of reasons to come back both with friends or for a romantic night out.

Burgoo Bistro Lonsdale Ltd

3 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver, BC V7M 2E4

After a long day stuck in the office watching the beautiful weather outside, your best bet is comfort food in the sunlight. That’s where Burgoo steps in, with classic soups, homemade stews and delicious sandwiches you'll enjoy on their beautiful and intimate patio. This is the place to refresh your body and soul after a trying day. The seasonal menu will never disappoint and the number of soups to try will delight you on every visit.

Montgomery's Fish & Chips

143-123 Carrie Cates Crt, North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K7

Who doesn’t love fish and chips when you’re by the harbour? At Montgomery’s, you have the option of eating inside the establishment or outside in the beautiful Vancouver weather. Either way, you will have a great view crossing the harbour to downtown Vancouver. And the food? Montgomery’s has received tons of rave reviews and it has made it onto many best-of lists in the local media.

Tour De Feast

7
319 Mountain Hwy, North Vancouver, BC V7J 2K7

One of the best French restaurants in North Van is located in an unassuming place with a patio befitting its style. Simple, well executed and hard to come by in the area: that describes their menu and patio. Stop in early to grab a seat on the patio for the excellent lunch menu or book a reservation for the entire outdoor dining experience with friends and family. Daily menu specials are advertised on their website.

Anatoli Souvlaki

8
5 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver, BC V7M 2E4

Anatoli received the TripAdvisor certificate of excellence in 2013 and the rave reviews keep pouring in. Not only does this Greek restaurant have some of the tastiest dishes in North Van, but it also has an intimate patio that will enhance your dining experience no matter what the meteorologist says. The small but effective wine menu is great for pairing with lunch and dinner options.

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
You don’t have to travel to Paris to have a true fine-dining experience; you can enjoy an upscale dinner, complete with a five-course meal and fine wine, right here at home. Victoria is a fine-dining destination with an excellent reputation – where talented chefs enjoy crafting delicious gourmet dishes from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Paired with a nice cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of ice cream, pie is unbeatable comfort food. And yet it faces stiff competition from cupcakes as the city’s dessert of choice. Well, pie is fighting back with old fashioned deliciousness as well as new and tantalizing flavours.
