Perfect Summer Patios – Oakville

borgo antico patio

A little bit of sunshine and warm weather is enough to send any Canadian in search of a patio. Eleven-degree weather? We throw on a sweater and we’re there.  Whether it’s biting into a juicy burger or sharing nachos over a beer with some friends, everything seems to taste a bit better on the patio. With patio season here, let’s make the most of it from spring through fall. Here’s our collection of outdoor hot-spots in Oakville to visit this season.
