19 Of Our Go-To Summer Rooftop Patios In Toronto

Every year like clockwork, summer arrives and Toronto morphs into a patio obsessed city. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not complaining. Patios are the lifeblood of summer in the 6ix, because the warm weather comes and goes in the blink of an eye. While some prefer the people watching of a street patio, the true hidden gems of Toronto come in the form of a rooftop patio – where you get to feel like you’ve actually escaped the city.

Here are 19 of our favourite rooftop patios in Toronto
