Two Oakville restaurants have been listed among Canada's top 100 outdoor dining spots for 2024.
Harpers Landing and Verace Restaurant were ranked among the top 100 choices for Canadian diners, according to a report from OpenTable, which took into account over 1.1 million reviews on the platform and dining metrics between February 1, 2023, and January 31, 2024.
Located at 481 Cornwall Road, Harpers Landing has been a popular dining destination since it opened in 2013. Recent renovations have turned the once exclusively outdoor patio area into a three-season patio facing south and west.
Additional updates include a new bar, floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, new furniture, and both high and low seating, making it an excellent spot for a night out.
Fan favourites according to OpenTable include the Turkey Burger, Landing Carbonara, and Landing Salad, and most customers might know them for their Fish Tacos.
Verace Restaurant, a newer addition to Oakville, opened its doors in 2021, serving authentic Italian food in the heart of downtown Oakville.
In just three years, Verace has achieved significant success, earning a four-and-a-half-star rating on both OpenTable and Google after hundreds of customer reviews.
The patio faces Lakeshore Road and is in a prime location for anyone looking to enjoy a great atmosphere and fresh Italian food.
"Always a good experience. Great service and friendly staff," said one customer's review on OpenTable.
Popular dishes at Verace Restaurant according to OpenTable include the Spaghetti Vongole, Pappardelle Mare E Monti, and Gnocchi di Spinaci.
