While your canine gets its own meal , you can enjoy affordable Western cuisine such as truffle crayfish pasta and coffee. One of the biggest draws (apart from being so dog-friendly) is the excellent service with warm and thoughtful staff, making your experience an even better one. Stop by with your pooch and make friends with other paw-rents while your dog gets to socialise!

There’s plenty of room in the alfresco area so you don’t have to worry too much for bigger dogs, where pets are also allowed in the garden! The same goes for the bar and you can find exciting local twists on their drinks such as a Kaya Martini. The expansive grounds, instagrammable desserts and of course, the ability to spend time with your pooch makes this an interesting change from the usual cafes.
