The guide

At a glance

There are 47 dog-friendly restaurants listed across 32 cities, led by Toronto with 5 so far. All of them are patio only, so plan on sitting outside.

24 are within 1 km of an off-leash park, so you can let the dog run first and then settle in. Every listing names its nearest park.

A place only appears here when the venue itself or the city says dogs are welcome, or a visitor tells us and we check it. Policies change with the season and the staff on shift, so check before you go.

How we list places

Only when someone who knows says so.

A place appears here only if the business itself says dogs are welcome (on its website or official pages), a city lists it as dog-friendly, or a visitor reports it and we check it. Each listing says which, and when we last checked.

Policies change with the seasons, the staff on shift and local health rules, and dogs are usually limited to patios. Always check with the venue before you go, and keep your dog leashed and settled while you're there.

Listing a business isn't an endorsement. See our terms and disclaimer.
