Yes, but terrace as a place where you can drink outside a cafe or bar would be more correctly translated as pavement cafe, outdoor cafe or sidewalk cafe, wouldn't it?

"breakfast is served on the terrace"

But this isn't a level paved area, it is just the street.

Maybe we should call it Biergarten, for convenience sake.
