Here are some winter patios in Toronto where you can eat outside.

The patio at this Bloorcourt restaurant is practically like another dining room with three types of heaters so it's totally winterized and warm. They serve Italian food, and are attached to a movie theatre.

Score on King

Half the patio is covered at this King East pub and there are also walls and heaters, so it's going to be nice and toasty while it's open all winter long. They specialize in Caesars, which is perfect since it's basically the official Canadian beverage of winter day drinking outdoors.

Jules Bistro Queen Street

As long as the temperature is above freezing this West Queen West bistro's patio will serve French food like cote de boeuf that's sure to stick to your ribs on a cold winter evening.

Bandit Brewery

Harriet's Rooftop

You can dine on sushi and Wagyu steak when you're above it all on this fully winterized rooftop patio on Wellington in the King West area sitting atop 1 Hotel.

The swanky heated patio at this South Core steakhouse has eight TV's and a full bar so you'll barely know you're feet away from the freezing outdoors.
