OUTDOOR DINING DELIGHTS IN SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS

Outdoor dining has come to life in the last few months in the Great Rivers & Routes region.

Many restaurants throughout the area are offering outdoor seating for guests who want to drink in the fresh air and enjoy a sandwich, steak, or their favorite pasta.

From great views of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers to more intimate settings in downtown entertainment districts, the variety of outdoor dining options ranges from riverfront options to streetside and courtyard locations.
