Ideal for enjoying its terrace and entertaining guests in the garden, the outdoor kitchen is as well equipped as a traditional kitchen. The proof in pictures with these 18 examples full of tricks.

Do you already have a barbecue or a plancha in your garden, and you love to receive your loved ones in the summer? Why not take it to the next level, and convert your patio into a real outdoor kitchen ? This trend confirms the affection of the French for outdoor activities, in particular cooking and a convivial meal in the grass.

But, with an outdoor kitchen, we are far from having a picnic on the checkered tablecloth. Sink, oven, worktop, storage, sometimes even refrigerator and integrated fryer, the equipment is complete and comfort as important as in a traditional kitchen. The stove is, however, most often replaced by barbecue, plancha, wood oven or any other outdoor cooking method.

In terms of design, as in traditional cuisine, all styles are allowed: wood, new or old stone, brick, stainless steel, etc. We will however verify that the material can withstand the weather if the kitchen is not protected by a covered terrace or a pergola. A large table and chairs will complete the layout.

Finally, some important points are to be expected: a good surface to be fitted (at least ten square meters), a water supply if the kitchen has a sink, and an electrical connection for household appliances and lighting if necessary .

Are you looking for inspiration for an outdoor kitchen to your liking? Here are 18 original layouts!
