Nicole in Bloom: Patio Season Returns to Café Nicole Bistro

Patio season has officially arrived in Toronto, and Café Nicole Bistro is ready to welcome guests back outdoors with the return of Nicole in Bloom. Located on The Esplanade at Novotel Toronto Centre, the refreshed patio offers a relaxed yet vibrant setting to enjoy the best of the season — from handcrafted cocktails and shareable bites to sunny afternoons and lively evenings in the heart of downtown.

To celebrate the opening, guests gathered for an evening of cocktails, live music, delicious menu favourites, and a hands-on Hugo Spritz cocktail class, with an exclusive first look at the new Beer Garden before its public debut. The event captured everything patio season should feel like: easygoing, social, and full of summer energy.

Guests can now enjoy Happy Hour daily from 4–8 PM, along with $3 off appetizers from 2–5 PM. Whether it’s a casual after-work drink, date night, girls’ night out, or weekend catch-up with friends, Café Nicole Bistro is the perfect spot to soak up the season.
