Go to: al fresco around the world

Chicago Escapes Food Food Yoga

We love dining al Fresco, and we want to share that joy with you!

Tapas in Ibiza. Spanish omelette

Please enjoy our always updated list of our favorite places to enjoy the fresh air and fresh dining spaces.

Chicago: A Tavola 

A Tavola is a hidden gem that dazzles with vintage brownstone charm. A time-tested menu, limited indoor seating, upstairs banquet room, and gorgeous garden seating. It is THE perfect date night spot and for special occasions.

Barcelona Spain:

La Isabela at Hotel 1898

La Isabela is the perfect rooftop escape in this bustling city. Drinks and dining, this offers a 360 view from the Las Ramblas area. Up here, you can experience a quiet moment above the noise and forget, or remember, it all!

Plaza Real, or Plaza Reial in Catalan

This is one of the most famous, if not the most famous Spanish squares in Barcelona. It is picturesque and always a hub of activity. During the day, you will see walking tour groups, street performers, and diners at the restaurants that surround the perimeter of the square giving perfect seating for people watching, a date (romantic or platonic), soaking up a beautiful Spain moment, or drinks, dinner, and/or dessert! It is one of those moments that, when you stop you will want to pinch yourself and realize you are one lucky person!!

Ibiza, Spain: La Torreta
