Alfresco dining spot

Answer:

TERRACE

Hint:

Think of an elevated outdoor area often attached to a building, where you might enjoy a meal with a view.

Explanation:

"Alfresco dining spot" hints at a place where people eat outdoors, and "terrace" fits perfectly—it’s a raised, flat area often attached to a building where meals are enjoyed in the open air. The word "alfresco" itself means "outdoors," so the clue directly points to a space designed for that purpose. Think of café terraces or rooftop dining areas, which are classic examples.
