These top picks will be sure to get your tail wagging
What’s better than an afternoon dining out with friends? Your furry four-legged best friend tagging along by your side! These pet-friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs in Sydney are our pick of the pack. So you and your pup can enjoy some chow time.
Fancy a glass of vino but can’t bear the thought of leaving Fido at home? We have the perfect place for both two and four-legged wine connoisseurs.
The Winery serves up delectable Modern Australian fare, best paired with a glass (or two, or three!) of the 30 specially selected wines on offer.
An impressive champagne room sets the scene for a sophisticated yet relaxed dining atmosphere inside. Outside, the pet-friendly courtyard looks out over a skyline view of Sydney.
The ricotta gnocchi is a knockout dinner time standout. Chocolate lovers will be in heaven digging into the triple chocolate brownie for dessert.
Check out The Winery and take life one sip at a time, with your pup by your side.
Dish Cult recommends the $37 Steak Frites (grass-fed, top sirloin served with red wine jus) paired with a glass of $17.5 Hentley Farm Shiraz.
Set in snazzy, water-side confines. This slice of doggy lovers paradise has been a popular dining option since 1880.
The Newport flaunts a variety of tasty offerings with something to satisfy even the fussiest of eaters. Classic pub-style items include fish & chips and a scrumptious chicken schnitty burger.
Seafood lovers will be in for a treat slurping fresh Sydney rock oysters with mignonette dressing or indulging in fresh tiger prawns by the bucket.
Last but certainly not least is Vinnies Pizza, run by pizza maestro Vincenzo Biondini. You heard it here first: the hand-made wood-fired pizzas taste just like the real deal in Italy!
Dish Cult recommends the $23 prawn roll served with paprika crisps.
Found inside a Victorian-era building in Balmain, Wilhelmina’s is the love child of MasterChef finalist Jamie Fleming. So you know you’re in for a culinary master class.
Wilhelmina’s operates with a core value of creating seasonal, produce-driven dishes designed to share. So yes, that means sneaking a piece of grilled chorizo under the table to your furry friend won’t be frowned upon here!
Menu options include crispy brussels sprouts with balsamic truffle vinegar and pulled lamb shoulder with pumpkin daal.
Alternatively, order a bottle of pinot noir and select from the seasonal tasting plates designed to share.
Want the Dish Cult recommendation? Meat lovers will want to tuck into the $20 seared New York steak sandwich.
They say it’s all in the name. Dachshund Coffee certainly lives up to its canine-friendly moniker.
Sustainably sourced, local ingredients are the driving force behind this popular cafe in Hunters Hill. Cafe classics are on offer: house-made granola, cheesy jaffles, and a smashed avocado stack (which we reckon is the very best we’ve tasted in all of Sydney!)
For lunch, the top dog burger can’t be missed. Alternatively, there’s a chicken katsu roll that will have you wondering whether you’ve been teleported to Tokyo from Hunters Hill.
As the name suggests, rest assured that Dachshund Coffee is a pet-friendly foodie zone.
Dish Cult recommends the $24.5 poké bowl.
Sticking to that new year’s resolution health kick? The chefs at Cooh in Alexandria have you covered with an indulgent yet health-focused menu that will have your taste buds cooing for more.
How does seared spice encrusted tuna steak served with jalapeno salsa sound? For dessert, a decadent chocolate creameux served with vanilla ice cream.
Who says healthy food has to be boring?
Stretch out on the pet-friendly verandah and settle in for an afternoon of fine food and furry friends.
All without any of that after-lunch guilt.
Our favourite? Dish Cult recommends the $30 grilled barramundi served with zesty citrus dressing. Just keep an eye on your food, or a hungry hound may just wolf down your barra’!
