Europe’s finest al fresco dining spots for this summer
Few experiences herald the joys of summer living like eating and drinking outdoors, or dining al fresco as Italians call it, literally “in the open air.”
But when you’ve lived through what has felt, at times, like an endless lockdown — or indeed been unable to dine out at all, for up to a year — then the thought of eating on sun-dappled terraces, elegant lawns, waterside promenades or private balconies takes on whole new levels of excitement.
The clink of glasses to the sounds of waves or birdsong. The gentle buzz of conversation, the ripples of laughter, the pop of corks. They’re back – and arguably better than ever.
From the home of al fresco in Italy to the wilds of the UK’s Lake District, cool metropolitan dining in Berlin and Dublin to ancient Greek vistas, these are some of the tables where we’d love to rock up this summer — and never have to leave.
