Dog Friendly Restaurants/Outdoor Seating?

[Dynamo]

So, I have a very well behaved new dog, and I would like to find out where I can take her on a walk and eat.
So far Cafe Cordiale has been a great place to take her... but I am looking for more options. What have you all come up with? Or, where have you gone that has good outdoor seating? I am particularly interested in finding places in or around the Sherman Oaks area, but I also want to know where else I can go when we decide to take a trip.

There is a breakfast cafe (Park Bench Cafe) in Huntington Beach (near the library), Orange County that welcomes dogs with their people. Food is good and prices are reasonable.

[JeetJet]

Yep, Park Bench is a really for the Hounds. Check the link. I like to take my dog there and then go to dog beach for a walk on the beach with my best friend.

Park Bench is great! They even have a section on their menu just for dogs so you can order your pooch something to eat too : )

I have been to Park Bench, but it is a bit of a drive in the OC for me to eat breakfast. My go to spots are The Filling Station in Orange, Break of Dawn in Laguna Hills, Cafe Zinc, and The Cottage on PCH in Laguna. I also take the pups to Lazy Dog Cafe, which is the only place I have found where you can have cocktails with the dog by your side, a huge plus even with so-so (but not bad for a chain) food. There is also a Lazy dog in Torrance and at the Irvine Marketplace on Jamboree. Panera Bread and Corner Cafe Locations are all pretty dog friendly, and they are go-to spots for me for lunch with the dogs.

Finally, Beverly Hills is very dog friendly. Almost all the stores welcome dogs, and some places like Barneys have dog treats (check by men's calognes). I have eaten with the dogs at Il Fornaio there in BH, along with a few of the informal places.

i've seen folks sitting outdoors with their dogs at c&o trattoria (not on the patio area, but at the tables in front of the restaurant on the sidewalk).

if you are with a friend who can watch your pooch while you go inside to order and pick up your food, samosa house now has tables out in front. since they don't have umbrellas, i'd imagine that you'd want to go late in the afternoon or early evening. i wouldn't think you'd want to take her walking around samosa house, but they do have that green belt on culver which is near by.

Bar Bouchon is another very nice dog-friendly restaurant

[chowhound chloe]

Sierra Madre is a picturesque small-town located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. It is just east of Pasadena and is extremely dog friendly.

Dogs hang out at the restaurants with outdoor seating. Also, low dog-level drinking fountains are attached to all drinking fountains throughout downtown and at the base of the Mt Wilson hiking trail. (Another great place to take your pooch. "First water" has a nice shaded area to relax before heading back down the trail.) Some restaurants will put out water bowls if a drinking fountain is not nearby.

The two independently-owned coffee shops, Beantown and the recently-opened Steamers have free dog biscuits for your canine friend. Also, a fenced dog park can be found just east of downtown at Sierra Vista Park on Sierra Madre Blvd. The dog area is located behind the public pool near the baseball fields.

I've listed all the restaurants in Sierra Madre with outdoor seating where I have seen dogs:

In Pasadena, Lucky Baldwin's allows dogs on the patio. A good place for a nice beer and some brit food.

The Fox and Hounds lets dogs on the patio (Studio City)

Lots of places on the Third Street Promenade in SM will also, just ask the host/hostess.

Urth Cafe on melrose loves dogs on the patio

[ocshooter]

I have always had problems eating with the dogs at Third Street. The Promenade itself is great, but most of the patios are fenced off, and the dogs generally have to stay outside the fence. Usually, if there is a barrier around the patio and the place serves alcohol on the patio, then the dogs are not allowed in. Not always, but I have seen this a lot.

[liz Laud]

Santa Monica will not let dogs inside of the patio's but you can sit right next to the door when they are outside of the patio areas. The restaurants are all afraid of the Health Department regulations. Some restaurants are cool and let dogs in the patio anyway.

[rantsnravesnreviews]

I agree. Sierra Madre is very dog friendly. There was a cute little poodle having dinner with an elderly woman (yes the poodle was sitting on the chair) at Lozano's one evening as I walked by. Just the 2 of them, I think they were regulars.

[brandygirl]

I had lunch today at Springbok on Victory, near the golf course. They have a patio where dogs are allowed.

I've also taken my dog to 3 Square Cafe/Bakery on Abbot Kinney in Venice--great pancakes!

[chef36]

Try The Other Room on Abbot Kinney in Venice...

[CynGriff]

Our dog loves to join us for breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien in Sherman Oaks...They bring her water in a coffee bowl and she happily people and pooch watches while we eat...

[Just One Bite]

Caioti Cafe on Tujunga will bring a bowl of water for your dog at the sidewalk tables.

[maudies5]

Most of the restaurants on Montana are dog friendly and offer outdoor seating.

[liz Laud]

San Vicente in Brentwood is very dog friendly also. Personally I like Chin Chin, Barney's, Susie Cakes (bakery) free dog treats out front too, Gaucho Grill, Pizzicotto, and Tavern.

[maudies5]

Totally agree with Liz Laud.

[mucho gordo]

Just noticed that Mr. Cecil's has a "YAPPY HOUR" so, by all means, bring the pooch.

[maudies5]

The problem with Mr.Cecil's is that your pooch will enjoy his meal more than you will.

[mucho gordo]

The food's that bad, huh????
I don't know about that; she's pretty discerning and doesn't hesitate to turn her snoot up at something.

[bulavinaka]

Must be a Westside dog. :) Geez, dogs around these parts have it made...
