It’s a sure sign of summer when Kelowna’s patios are buzzing with activity. Sipping sangria, soaking up the sun and laughing with friends on a local patio is a must on your Kelowna bucket list. There's no shortage of amazing patios in Kelowna to enjoy, however, the city has voted on its top three!
Feel the warm lake breeze while enjoying Smack DAB's flavour packed, yet casual food on this lakeside patio. The restaurant's spacious, outdoor patio has one of the best views you'll find in Kelowna. In fact, Smack DAB says the view is so real that “any closer and you would be swimming”.
While you're welcome to get lost in the beautiful view, you don't have to because the atmosphere is perfect to enjoy brunch with friends or have a romantic date night near the water. Try one of the 12 craft beers on tap and item menus that feature both vegetarian and gluten-free options.
The Hotel Eldorado's iconic patio has been a local's favourite for decades. Sit down for a classy meal while soaking up beautiful lake and mountain views, with a boardwalk-style patio right by their marina.
The award-winning restaurant and wine list are sure to impress, especially with so many farm to table ingredients included in the dishes!
Situated in downtown Kelowna next to the Sails statue, Earl's on Top offers yet another breathtaking view of Okanagan Lake. With cocktails specially designed for a sunny afternoon on the patio, it's undoubtedly one of the best places to enjoy a beverage in the city.
The restaurant still offers everything you love about Earl's while enjoying the open patio in a booth or regular table. From tasty appetizers to great happy hour specials, your only worry will be navigating the set of staires on the way home.
