OpenTable says reservations on the app this month are up 61 per cent compared to pre-pandemic numbers seen in 2019.

The list also featured one entry from Bragg Creek - Italian Farmhouse Restaurant & Bar – and three from Banff – Three Bears Brewery (dog-friendly patio) The Bison Restaurant and Farm & Fire.
Ontario topped OpenTable’s list with 62 establishments, followed by British Columbia with 21, Alberta with 15 and Quebec with two.
OpenTable says it released the list ahead of the Victoria Day long weekend, which is the "unofficial kickoff" to patio season.
