The panoramic views of Eau Claire and River Prairie here are tough to beat. Did we mention your doggos are also welcome on their outdoor patio?

Za 51 will transport you right to Italy. Not only are all their Italian-inspired dishes savory and delicious, but their outdoor patio that overlooks River Prairie Park is a dream outdoor dining experience. 

Cabin Coffee Co.

Downtown Eau Claire

Lakely 

The Lakely is a part of the Oxbow Hotel and is considered to be one of the best places in Eau Claire for many things. Their brunch and craft cocktails are surely something to talk about; however, so is their outdoor patio. A dining experience here under the twinkly lights is one you won't want to pass up during your time in Eau Claire.

The Livery

The Livery was once a horse stable; that's why their restaurant and outdoor dining space is very unique. Their outdoor patio has tables for dining and a fire pit in the very middle to keep warm. Take a seat, kick back and order whatever you've been craving lately!

The Informalist

The Informalist, located in The Lismore Hotel, is home to several unique flavors. When you dine here, you will get to experience top-quality cuisine all while being in the heart of downtown Eau Claire. If you want to keep the party going, head upstairs to The Dive. This is a rooftop bar also located at The Lismore Hotel that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. 

Houligans Steak & Seafood Pub

When you're looking for a traditional Wisconsin supper club to dine outdoors at, look no further than Houligans. From the Old Fashions to the steak, you will be very satisfied.
