Feast On Certified Patios
Burlington's Patio Pass features three Feast On® certified businesses, which is your chance to experience a true taste of local.
Feast On businesses prove their dedication to showcasing Ontario grown and raised ingredients, so when you dine at a certified business, you can be confident that your meal supports local farmers, producers, processors, breweries, wineries, cideries, and distilleries across the province.
At Backed By Bees, visitors can sip award-winning mead or refreshing Honey Soda™ while overlooking the countryside from their mead patio. Pair a tasting flight with a stroll through the pollinator gardens or one of the property's immersive bee experiences for a uniquely Burlington agritourism outing.
radius® on Brant has become a downtown favourite for its commitment to Ontario ingredients and thoughtfully crafted seasonal menus. Settle in on the patio with a local craft beer and one of their chef-driven features to experience the best of the region's food and drink.
For stunning waterfront views, Spencer's at the Waterfront pairs one of Burlington's most iconic patio settings with a menu that celebrates Ontario's seasonal bounty. It's an ideal spot to linger over lunch and toast the summer overlooking Lake Ontario.
