Alexandra here, from the DTK BIA! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting for patio season since it ended last year.
And sometimes, finding information about patios can be difficult - so we’ve done the research for you, and compiled a list of restaurants with patios in DTK so you can spend less time scrolling on the internet and more time catching rays.
So, pack your sunnies, grab a friend, and let’s check out the best spaces to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of summer in Downtown Kitchener!
