Days are getting shorter, temperatures are getting cooler, and the snow has started falling, but diners can still eat outside at these Twin Cities restaurants with heated, covered patios.
A number of Twin Cities 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 Department of Health. 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.
