Rooftop seating offers an elevated dining experience in every sense of the word. Whether it’s the added romance, ambiance, or just a new perspective you’re looking for, these places are definitely worth checking out. Rooftop dining just so happens to combine two of our favorite things about living in Virginia: the food and the views. The following restaurants will give you a perspective of the state you’ve likely never seen.

  1. Boudreaux’s Restaurant

Beaudreaux’s Restaurant Located in Blacksburg, Boudreaux’s is a cajun-style restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere. Word on the street is that their classic red beans and rice dish tastes even better outside.
