The Marda Loop BRZ encompasses parts of Richmond, Garrison Woods, Altadore and South Calgary, providing Calgarians with a shopping and dining district on and around 33 Ave. S.W. Here is a list of patios — starting at Garrison Gate and saddling both sides of 33 Ave. S.W. from 22 St. S.W. to 18 St. S.W. — you can visit in that area.

Please note that these photos were taken prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and that many patios may have new social distancing and safety measures in effect.

Italian neighbourhood restaurant Annabelle’s Kitchen (named one of Calgary’s Best New Restaurants in 2020) has a sunny patio complete with picnic tables, umbrellas and an Aperol Spritz station. Pair your spritz with one of Annabelle’s delicious pizzas made with fresh ingredients (available with a gluten-free crust).

Starbucks’ patio is tucked off to the side and is dappled with sunlight that filters through the surrounding trees. Stop by for a quick frap or latte between running errands and perusing the local boutiques along Garrison Gate.

In order to provide additional seating this summer, Pacific Poke added a temporary self-seating “patio” with three picnic tables on the adjacent sidewalk. So, grab your poke bowl made with Oceanwise seafood and have a little picnic outside — no blanket required.

After getting a manicure and/or pedicure at Distilled Beauty Bar, make your way to the front to order wine, Rosso coffee, tapas and baked goods to enjoy on the sunny patio while your nails dry. This patio is dog-friendly and is a lovely oasis where you can enjoy drinks and dessert with your pooch.

Village Ice Cream

Order a scoop or two from this popular ice cream shop before settling in to enjoy it on the patio, which has bench-style seating that can easily accommodate both small and large parties of guests. On warm summer nights, the ice cream shop opens its fold-out windows so there’s a seamless transition between the shop and the night air.

Merchants Restaurant and Bar

This secluded patio gives guests a reprieve from the noise of 33 Avenue and the hustle and bustle of busy shoppers. Merchants’ patio is surrounded with warm cedar fencing and an array of flowers and plants, giving the illusion that you’re in an enchanting garden instead of a typical parking lot.

Original Joe’s Restaurant and Bar

Original Joe’s is a step back from the main drag, making it a quieter and more laid back patio. Half of the patio is sunny while the other half is shadier, offering the best of both worlds. If you’re going with friends, order some nachos to start and enjoy the gentle breeze as it rustles through the trees bordering the patio.

One of the highlights of Pubblico is its modern decor inside, but it also has a great street side patio that’s particularly nice when it’s lit up at night and a second, smaller patio on the top floor. There is also free underground parking for guests.

Belmont Diner

This cozy patio has a cabin vibe with its bench-style wooden seating that surrounds two different fire pits. Belmont Diner is only open for breakfast and lunch, so make sure to get there bright and early if you want to enjoy some takeaway buttermilk pancakes alfresco.

Bite into a piece of matcha milk loaf or blueberry mochi cream cheese bun on this Japanese and Korean-inspired bakery’s corner patio. Go early (it opens at 10 a.m.) and pair your treat with a cold lemon ginger tea refresher.

Gardenia Flower Boutique’s patio is a great little find complete with fresh flowers, twinkle lights and visits from the shop dog, Frankie. Make sure to take a gander around the flower boutique to admire their exquisite arrangements before venturing onto the patio to rest.
