Is it just us, or does eating outside make food taste better?

Whether it be for live music, views, aesthetics and decor, cocktails, or just enjoying the nice weather, there’s a patio for every occasion. Here are 50 of our favorite places for outdoor dining in Fort Worth.

Quince, 1701 River Run
The restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating with a large patio by the river. Stop by at sunset for views of the city and a wide range of menu items like salad, sushi, and burgers.

Paloma Suerte, 122 E. Exchange Ave., Ste. 280
