While it's a cool June day in Ottawa, OpenTable is getting diners thinking about enjoying a meal on an outdoor patio this summer.
The online restaurant reservation platform has released the list of Canada's Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining, including three restaurants in Ottawa.
OpenTable says the list is compiled by analyzing more than 1.1 million diner reviews and metrics, including diner ratings and the percentage of restaurants for which "outdoor dining" was selected as a special feature.
