On a warm Los Angeles day, there is nothing better than enjoying a nice lunch outdoors. Though many restaurants offer outdoor dining, many restaurants have become famous for their patios and how important it is to be seen dining outdoors. From smaller cafes to trendy lunch spots, these four restaurants offer some of the best outdoor seating during the lunchtime rush.
Il Tramezzino
For those who swear by the “Chicken Special” sandwich, Il Tram is the perfect lunch spot to grab one of their signature salads or sandwiches. Though the restaurant has locations in Tarzana, Studio City and Beverly Hills, it is the Beverly Hills spot that became famous for their outdoor seating on Canon Drive. After becoming the first Beverly Hills restaurant to receive a permit for outdoor seating, those visiting the restaurant always requested a table outdoors. The mixture of great paninis and Beverly Hills outdoor seating makes Il Tramezzino a must for lunch.
Il Tramezzino is located at 454 N. Canon Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif.
Kings Road Café

Situated between boutiques and shops, those dining outdoors will witness the hustle and bustle of foot traffic as shoppers and strollers make their way by. Though it can get busy, it is the ultimate place to eat and be seen.
