Best places to bring your dog to eat with you?

[1newyorkguy]

West side preferred.

a little closer to mid city.....almost all restaurants on Larchmont is dog friendly with their sidewalk tables.

[bulavinaka]

I think as a general rule: hoods that have a representative resident and/or visitor population whose median income is around $100k will have a good selection of eateries with dog-friendly outdoor areas.

Chabuya on Sawtelle has a nice outdoor seating area and is very dog friendly.

In the Valley, Springbok in Van Nuys is very dog friendly. We walk our two mutts there all the time. They will bring out a pitcher of water for them. Food for the adults is not too bad also.

I've met friends with their pooches at Amandine a number of times, and it's always worked out very well.

Further East, Cafe Midi on La Brea always seems to have a bunch of dogs and their people at the tables outside. I think Midi will even bring water bowls for the dogs while they wait for their people. :)

I've seen huge dogs on the patio enjoying the music on music nights at The Foundry.

They gladly welcome dogs at the foundry. I discovered this place last week.

[korndog]

I can't vouch for the food, but the last time I was at Pat's Topanga Grill (years ago), just about every table had at least one dog under it. Big dogs too.

To the east of LA, I was allowed to bring my dog to sit on the Patio of the Back Abby Tavern in Claremont. I think I just had a drink that time and not too many people around.

Just outside LA county, Molly's Super in Upland catycorner from the Public Library (and the city admin offices) is super dog friendly. There is a section of the patio reserved for dogs, with water bowls, free treats, a lead staked to a tree and you may sit right next to it. There is also a dog menu if you'd like to order your pooch a meal. The friendly owner is such a dog person, she treated me to lunch the time I went there with my new pet from the shelter. It was a thanks you for rescuing the doggie. Closes at 2:30.

I was driving by Petrossian on Robertson yesterday and saw a large dog dining with its owners outside. Perhaps your dog would enjoy a spot of caviar?

[bulavinaka]

And in Beverly Hills, no one would even bat an eye, unless the dog had no sweater on...

[omotosando]

Seriously, if your dog isn't in to caviar, they appear to have a lot of salads, sandwiches and pizzas on the lunch menu. My dog and I will definitely have to give it a try one of these days.

In Beverly Hills, I can sit outside and enjoy great Italian meals at these two of my favorite places; Il Pastaio and eBaldi.

We drive up PCH to Malibu with the dogs all the time. Lots of places to take out at the Malibu Country Mart and you eat at the tables outside. Or Malibu Seafood. They don't let you eat at their tables, but just next door are tables that are part of the parkland. Also, outdoor tables at Neptune's Net on the right side of the lot.

[liz Laud]

Neptune's Net no longer allows dogs.

[mc michael]

We've got lots of odd places here, but I'm not aware of any where you can eat your dog.

[ilikefood]

"Best places to bring your dog to eat with you? "
Well, you've come to the right place - ChowHound.

[Baron]

Baron enjoys a good repast. Tell me where.

[ilikefood]

Find out where those pictures of dogs playing poker are from. They probably serve food .

[bulavinaka]

I know this is an often asked question but I'd vote 3 Square on Abbot Kinney. Great food but somewhat cramped patio area. They don't mind you sitting on the outer edge of the patio with your pup just on the other side of the railing. There might also be some tables outside the patio bordering the sidewalk which would allow you to sit directly with Rover. Bring his water bowl if going for lunch - the sun will be cutting directly across the front of the restaurant at that time.

Thanks..great answer!

[bulavinaka]

Just about any part of town that has some history of dog culture will have places that you're looking for. Venice has been a "Dog Town" since I was a kid, so it's pretty much a given around here. As long as there's some sort of outdoor/patio area, particularly if it's adjacent to a sidewalk or parking lot, then most places will allow dogs to be on the perimeter.

In Santa Monica we see lots of well mannered dogs on the patio at il Forno on Ocean Park Blvd. (and they have some very good food). The patio tables are spread out, far from the street (so they are quiet) and the ones along the window are actually separated by tall planters with heavy bushes growing between them, so you have real privacy for you and your companions (2 and 4 legged variety).
