café terrace
Sidewalk dining area
A café terrace is the outdoor seating area of a café, typically arranged on a sidewalk or patio with small tables and chairs facing the street.
The term evokes European café culture, where patrons linger over coffee watching passersby: We spent the afternoon on a café terrace in Paris.
Van Gogh's painting popularized the image.
