Sidewalk cafe

A sidewalk café or pavement café is a waiter-served portion of an eating or drinking place located on or adjacent to a public sidewalk.

Most sidewalk cafés contain removable tables and chairs, and many have railings. Both food and drink are served.

Sidewalk cafés and al fresco dining are common across Europe, forming an important part of street life in many countries such as Spain, Greece, France and Italy. Multiple sidewalk cafes often share a common plaza or court. The Parisian café, which typically has both indoor and al fresco seating, is a renown example of the form.
