Weekend idea: Sunny Saturday lunch

Finally, a Saturday weather forecast that doesn’t call for rain. With a high predicted in the mid to upper 70s  for tomorrow, all thoughts turn to sunshine. And outdoor eating.

Here are three places to find Saturday lunch al fresco:

Turkuaz Grill, Riverhead
At the porch or patio of this authentic Turkish restaurant, you can catch some rays, a view of the Peconic river and a satisfying lunch. Try the house-made pide -- a savory stuffed pastry with spinach ($8.95), a Mediterranean salad ($9.95) or a sandwich of house-made doner gyro ($5.99).
Turkuaz is at 40 McDermott Ave. Riverhead; 631-591-1757.

Catfish Max, Seaford
Lunch launches at noon at this waterside spot which has deck seating by the canal-like Tideway River. Have a chopped salad ($11), a blackened catfish wrap ($13) or a soup and sandwich combo ($13).
Catfish Max is at 3681 Naomi St., Seaford, 516-785-9776.

Wall's Wharf, Bayville
It doesn’t get more outdoorsy than this beachfront restaurant where you can get a table on the upper or lower deck, or even in the sand. On the lunch menu are a beer-braised sandwich with a chipotle BBQ sauce ($13), a truffle horseradish salmon wrap ($15) and a sesame-seared ahi tuna salad ($17).
Wall’s Wharf is at 18 Greenwich Ave., Bayville, 516- 628-9696
