Same in NYC. It's so great to see the almost competition by restaurants to outdo each other in designing outdoor spaces.
I really hope these changes stay permanently.
My only gripe is that we haven't figured out the European style where all the seats face the road. :)
- baby 6y agoThat’s mostly in Paris. Don’t think I’ve seen that elsewhere.
- adewinter 6y agoNetherlands and Belgium do it too.
- ejvincent 6y agoBarcelona too.
- baby 6y agoReally? I’ve been there many times and have never noticed. Maybe it’s a newer trend?
- maigret 6y agoIt's not a new trend. People in latin countries like to look at what is happening on the street. https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/paris-cafe-1950s.html https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/paris-cafe-1950s.html
- abrowne 6y agoYou have the right username to know Paris ;-) I can't remember from my own visits to Barcelona and Belgium how common it is. But photos of 1950s Paris are not evidence that it's common in other cities now.
- baby 6y agoI’ve lived all over the place in France and also in London and I’ve only seen this in Paris.

- eatonphil 6y agoParis is the most dense I've seen personally but cafes in Vienna and Zurich at least still face the street at two person tables outside.

- somberi 6y agoNYC here. One of the quaintest things I have seen in my life : A small pub had three tables, two chairs each, on the pavement. One of it was "cordoned" off with velvet-red ropes and for full bottle service, the pub staff open the ropes with great aplomb! Roadside-Royalty.
