Foodies like to do it outside. Eat, that is.

While chandeliers and decorated walls are nice, nothing beats the twinkle of a cityscape as the backdrop for an impeccable dinner. And what is Sunday brunch without sunlight through the trees, or a pitcher of margaritas without a slight breeze and unbridled laughter?

The patios at Rojo on Highland Avenue and 5 Points Grill in Southside are consistently voted among the best in Birmingham Weekly’s annual Menu of Menus Readers’ Poll. Other local favorites include Veranda on Highland’s namesake terrace, the patio at Bottega and the cozy tables that line the sidewalk in front of Chez Lulu in English Village. For a more casual experience, eating a gyro at Al’s Deli and Grill, a black bean burger at Bottletree or a sandwich on the eclectic patio at The Garage Café will not disappoint. And newcomers like Jackson’s Bar and Bistro in Homewood, La Mesa in Southside and Avo restaurant and Dram Whiskey Bar in Mountain Brook Village are sure to soon join the ranks of Cantina, Open Door Café and other traditional favorite spots to spend time outside.
