After gaining popularity at its Tailgunner Brewing and Renfrew locations, Acme Pizza is settling into Sunnyside with a new restaurant that specializes in pasta and pizza. This new location operates out of Vendome Café’s former space and inherited its great patio seating area complete with string lights and umbrellas for shade. Almost anything on Acme’s carb-forward menu can be made gluten-free, making it a great outdoor dining spot for those with dietary restrictions.

Since it opened in October 2024, Bella’s Italiana has featured a fully enclosed and heated patio for the colder months. As it enters its first summer season, Bella’s is opening up its enclosed patio to fresh air and has added additional uncovered seating nearby for sun fans. Enjoy coffee, pastries, wine, European-style eats and more — rain or shine.

One of Calgary’s newest restaurants that just opened in June, Bodega brings the charm and bold flavours of Spanish tapas bars to the heart of Mission. Bodega’s north-facing streetside patio is framed by a beautiful red brick wall and lit by warm overhead bistro lights in the evenings. If you’re looking for authentic seafood paella or house made sangrias with a side of fresh air, this Mission spot has you covered.

After gracing Victoria Park and Britannia with its authentic Mexican flavours, Native Tongues has now set up shop in the University District as well. To make matters more delicious, its south-facing outdoor patio with lots of umbrellas is officially open. Patio seating is available on a first come, first served basis.

Open since June 1, One Love is quickly becoming a go-to spot for authentic Caribbean cuisine. The restaurant’s mouth-watering dishes include spicy jerk chicken, tender oxtail and Jamaican patties. Located just off 17th Avenue S.W., the west-facing patio is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main street, yet still within arm’s reach of the action.

Pimlico Bar brings its take on modern, London-style eats to Calgary. Head to Pimlico to enjoy reimagined British bites and creative drinks — think Brixton Mules and the booze-free drink “Fancy A Cuppa?.” The restaurant’s south-facing patio is armed with heaters and an awning, and with its prime location on 17th Avenue S.W., you can expect some prime people-watching opportunities.
