Beverly Hills has never done anything halfway, and outdoor dining is no exception. This is a city where the patio isn't an afterthought to the meal, it's part of the experience. Rodeo Drive terraces built for people-watching, hotel poolside patios that feel like a private retreat, garden courtyards tucked away from the noise — there's a setting here for every kind of outing, from a quick coffee to a full-blown celebration. Whether you're planning a special dinner or just want a table in the sun, here's where locals are actually eating outside right now.

The Cabana Cafe
Set inside The Beverly Hills Hotel, The Cabana Cafe offers casual, fresh dining against a poolside backdrop. It's relaxed without losing the glamour the hotel is known for, making it an easy pick for lunch that still feels like an event.

Il Pastaio
Chef Giacomino Drago's Il Pastaio serves more than 20 handmade pasta varieties on a charming Canon Drive patio. It's a longtime favorite with the celebrity crowd, but the food earns its reputation regardless of who's at the next table.

Viviane at the Avalon Hotel
Designed by Kelly Wearstler, Viviane centers its al fresco seating around a boomerang-shaped pool and private cabanas. It's polished and distinctive, one of the more memorable outdoor settings in the city.

Urth Caffé
For something more low-key, Urth Caffé's South Beverly Drive patio is a dependable choice for coffee, brunch, or an easy afternoon outside. Less occasion, more everyday favorite, and reliably good.
