Pet Friendly Restaurants Cape Town

Pet Friendly Restaurants Cape Town

Pet friendly restaurants in Cape Town (and in Joburg, Pretoria, and Durban) are awesome kind of restaurants. Because it is just so, so, hard to leave your little furry friend at home. Those puppy eyes. That little whine. The way he watches you leave from the front door. And then, to top it off, you get home and the little guy is sleeping where you left him. Waiting. Wai-ting. It’s enough to keep you at home forever.

Well, pooch owners in Cape Town, rejoice! Gone are the days that hoomans go gallivanting without their (fur)babies. We’ve put together a list of dog friendly restaurants in Cape Town (you can use your ENTERTAINER at some of them, nogal) because, well, doggos rule.

Dog Friendly Restaurants Cape Town

Southern Suburbs


1. LA PARADA | Constantia Nek

Every Capetonian knows this beautiful restaurant en route to Hout Bay. You know, the old building at the Constantia Nek circle that serves ah-mazing food. Well, not only is this restaurant delicious, historical and beautiful, but it’s also a dog-friendly restaurant, which is way more important, right!?

2. LIME TREE CAFE | Bergvliet

This little Begvliet cafe has raving reviews for a few reasons. The first, obviously, is that they welcome your furry friends with open arms. They also offer an array of delish treats, a warm, inviting ambiance, and the friendliest staff in Cape Town.

3. THE GARDENER’S COTTAGE | Newlands

Who doesn’t love the sound of clinking plates and muted chatter whilst enjoying tea and scones under the trees (and overlooking a gorge little nursery)? Literally, no one. At The Gardener’s Cottage in Newlands, you’ll get all that, and your pooch will get to enjoy it too. Even though it is a dog friendly restaurant, keep his paws off the scones, please.

5. RHODES MEMORIAL RESTAURANT & TEA GARDEN | Rondebosch

If you’ve got a pup that loves a good walk, the foresty area around Rhodes Mem is an awesome place. The main reason to do the walk is actually for the halfway stop at The Rhodes Memorial Tea Garden. There’s enough shade for your hot doggo to squeeze in a rest in the shade. Not to mention, the goosebump-worthy views. After a cuppa, pop down to the Rhodes Memorial for a quick history lesson and some more spectacular Cape Town views.

6. A TOUCH OF MADNESS | Observatory

A Touch of Madness is an unassuming little Obs house that you wouldn’t even know was a restaurant if it weren’t for the hordes of people sitting on the stoep and in the garden. It’s definitely dog friendly as the garden is enclosed and offers plenty of shade. So bring along your barking mad best friend.
