There are so many reasons why we love summer time in Vancouver and rooftop patios definitely rank high. Sure, we’re no Toronto or NYC, but the few we have are worth boasting about. Here are the best rooftop patios to check out in downtown Vancouver:
7 Rio Brazilian Steakhouse
In addition to serving up delicious non-stop meat service, this all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse also has an awesome rooftop patio with views of Denman Street and English Bay! One of the few places in the city for authentic Brazilian churrasco (aka bbq.) Don’t forget to pair your dishes with a refreshing Caipirinha pitcher for some added Latin flaire!
Address |1122 Denman St, Vancouver

6 Market by Jean-Georges
Easy to miss but once you discover the rooftop at Market by Jean-Georges, you’ll keep coming back. Located on the third floor at the Shangri-La Hotel, Market by Jean-Georges feels more Provence than Vancouver and focuses on using seasonal ingredients to create dishes that are fresh and innovative. Not to be outdone, the cocktail menu is equally impressive with booze-free bevvies (we’re obsessed with the golden milk) for those staying off the juice.
The patio is open Thursday & Fridays, from 4-7pm with live music!
Address | 1115 Alberni St, Vancouver

4 Joe Fortes
With one of the best happy hours in the city, an oyster bar and a garden rooftop patio made to soak up all of the sunshine – it’s no surprise Joe Fortes is a popular hangout, especially during the summer months.
Legendary in Vancouver, service here is top-notch and for the winos – Joe Fortes has over 300 wines to choose from. Rose on the patio, anyone?
