It’s that time of year! The weather is getting warmer and many restaurants are beginning to re-open their outdoor seating areas. What better way to take your culinary experience to the next level than a beautiful outdoor ambience? Here at Sac Foodies, it’s patio dining week! We’ve assembled a few of our favorite Sacramento-area restaurants for outdoor eating and will be featuring them in a series of posts this week. Today’s featured patio places:
Ten22 in Old Sac is a casual yet upscale locale, perfect for a date-night rendezvous or family gathering! With free live music every Friday and Saturday from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. and “Weekend Wednesdays” featuring bands AND an affordable appetizer menu, what’s not to love?

Mulvaney’s Building and Loanlocated in Midtown is a true delight and a summer must for those seeking an idyllic outdoor dining experience. The garden patio seats 40 and features beautiful flora, fire pits, and nighttime lighting. Our tip, try the rib eye; it’s worth the premium price.

Selland’s Market Caféin East Sacramento is a very popular place for lunch and offers an enticing, varied menu at very reasonable prices. One reason many customers come back? The patio seating!
