This summer has been unlike any other. While most things have been not great, one shining light is that there has never been more patio space for those looking for outdoor dining spaces. Below are classics, new, and expanded patios around Saint Paul for those looking to enjoy. Please plan ahead, check for openings and make a reservation. Masks are required at all Minnesota restaurants.

This map is sorted geographically from west to east.

A number of Minneapolis restaurants have resumed dine-in service. The level of service offered is indicated on each map point. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns: for updated information on coronavirus cases in your area, please visit the Minnesota Health Department. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.
