We certainly never thought we would be promoting outdoor dining in Washington in the winter, but they don’t call these unprecedented times for nothing. But the fact is, many of our favorite local eateries are now offering heated outdoor patios and illuminated open tents with the goal of offering you a little bit of normalcy (and a tasty meal.)
These are just a few examples of the many wonderful places in Washington to dine outdoors right now. If you’re curious about your favorite restaurant, give them a call. Remember to bundle up, be patient, and have a fantastic time.
