Rejoice! This week is forecasted to get warmer by the day, hitting a peak of 22 sunny degrees on the long weekend Saturday.  It doesn’t really get any better than that for the Easter holiday weekend, does it?

In preparation for the forthcoming weather awesomeness, it seems only suiting for this edition of Food Fanatics to showcase some of the best patio spots in Toronto.  Who doesn’t love lounging at a great spot with friends over some beers, nibbling on tasty treats and watching the inevitable fashion crimes that come out of the wood works as the warm weather approaches?

Picking the best patios in the city of course comes with weighing a variety of factors – location, food, patio style, drinks and the type of crowd. The following are just a few of my personal faves, but be sure to comment with the ones that make your list.
