Diners looking to broaden their travels this summer and enjoy picturesque views have a bevy of choices as they make their way across Canada.

From breathtaking mountain gorges, to seaports of the east coast and everything in between, the restaurants featured on the list offer the perfect backdrop for all occasions. 

Ontario tops the list with the most winning restaurants, 42, followed by British Columbia with 35, Alberta is next with 12, Quebec at six, and Manitoba at five. Saskatchewan and Newfoundland round out the list with one apiece.

Vancouver has the most restaurants on the list at 11, followed by Victoria and Toronto with nine restaurants each.

“We can’t think of a better way to celebrate summer travel season than with this list of restaurants with some of the nation’s most stunning vistas,” said Caroline Potter, OpenTable’s chief dining officer. “Whether you’re a local or a traveller, these winning spots are a terrific way to soak up a city’s charms while dining on delicious fare.”

OpenTable's list of the 100 Most Scenic Restaurants for 2019 in Canada is generated solely from diner reviews.

All restaurants with a minimum overall score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. The overall score is made up of unique data points, such as overall diner rating, total number of reviews and regional overall rating.

Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the sum of tags for which "scenic views" was selected as a special feature.
