Downtown Evanston is lucky to have so many restaurants with outdoor seating--whether you are grabbing coffee or cocktail with friends, taking a colleague to lunch, enjoying a special date night, or toasting a beautiful summer evening. Check out these restaurants for a dine-in experience, or just "grab'n go" and enjoy a meal at Fountain Square or by the lakefront (just a half mile away)!

Note that some restaurants may choose not to set up their outdoor dining spaces, so please check before you go. If you're new to Downtown Evanston, please click here for more information about parking. Downtown Evanston is also easily accessible by bike, bus or train!
