50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Vancouver

“Overall experience here was great! The food was super fresh, customer service was on point as expected and the atmosphere was incredibly lively. There’s so much happening here which can get a bit overwhelming, especially with all of the clashing sounds. You’ve got the main music, birthday celebrations with tambourines and the hand pulled noodle guy that walks around with his own speaker! On top of that, it’s also incredibly busy. The only thing that genuinely made my table uncomfortable was the noodle guy. He came to our table and hit our friend in the face and head with the noodle multiple times. At first it was funny, but as it kept going we got increasingly more uncomfortable. He hit all 3 of us in the faces and the entire experience made us feel really weird. Other than that, everything else was great. The waiting area is super spacious and they have lots to do to keep you distracted and busy while you wait!“

“Reservations for 10 in the bar to celebrate my mom’s birthday-the staff were great and food was amazing as usual !“

“Amazing service from Olivia. This lady is one of the best if not the best servers I have ever had at any restaurant bar-none!!“

“I was here before the renovation, it was really good then, now that they are 100% plant based i thought it would different, nope! Its still amazing!! I highly recommend the fully loaded sammy!
The new side they opened is absolutely beautiful! My friend i come with is celiac, she approves ! They really care about the difference between celiac and gluten free diets.“

“great food and great service, very friendly“

“some great deserts and pastries here, very nice and quiet place to relax on robson street, the mango was excellent and a must try for mango lovers, the red velvet had a little too much icing and not enough cake but we been there a few times and will be back“

“Highly recommend! Food, services and the environment are PERFECT!!! Definitely will recommend to everyone around me!“

“What a cool place! Loved spending time with the kitties and trying the menu“

“The first thing that hit me was how clean the venue was. The staff was very friendly. We chose the prix fixe. The steak was one of the best I’ve tasted because there were no tough bits at all and the sauce was SO good. The side salad was well balanced. I am GF so I asked for veggies on the side and they gave me these grilled mushrooms that were very addictive. The cocktails were delicious and my husband’s wine was so good.“

“I just bombed my midterm and then came straight to Browns to be greeted by Dia, and she made the rest of my night better 😭 If you ever get Dia as your server you won’t be disappointed.

Atmosphere was amazing! Thanks Browns :P“

“Amazing creme brûlée ❤️ Cute little shop, with a lovely atmosphere“

“Maxine’s is the best! Best brunch, best dinner 💯“

“Cute little casual Italian spot!
Staffed by a lovely man who wears all the hats — host, server, and chef. We had the Bolognese and the Beef Mushroom Pappardelle, and everything was yummy. Cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and warm, personal service. We’ll definitely be back! 🍝🇮🇹“

“Pictured: Sesame Chili Tan Tan Noodles (vegan) Ramen Egg Sandwich, Matcha Soy Latte and Ginger Yuzu juice.

Food is absolutely delightful, reminiscent of Japanese craft and quality, the matcha is from Uji, and the Tan Tan broth is from the mind of some genius chef. Support these folks, they care about what they feed you and you can tell.“

“Excellent customer service through and through from the worker from Hong Kong. Thanks for making my first visit a pleasant one with various introductions of your offerings. For anyone curious, I recommend adding the tofu topping for a yummy protein extra 😋“

“Came here a couple times while I was in town. The coffee is excellent. Also loved the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and green breakfast wrap. The indoor space is pretty small. I think it's fine if you're at one of the tables, but it can feel pretty cramped or like you're always in someone's way when you're in line or waiting for your order. I wish they had a takeout window to resolve this. Thanks for the excellent coffee and food!“

“Adorable little cafe with amazing sandwiches on fresh baked foccaccia. They also have panini sandwiches and espresso drinks. Comfortable indoor seating, chill vibes, and friendly staff. I had the Marseille sandwich, which was turkey and brie on foccaccia. It was huge and enough for 2 meals, for $17. Unlike some nearby cafes that we passed on, they make the sandwiches to order instead of serving them pre-made.“

“Today I have an Americano（12 oz）with an extra shot of espresso（total 3）👍👍👍“

“My husband and I shared the California Burrito! It was sooo delicious!!! The cheese on the outside was heavenly!!!“

“Do not expect to get a table here. There were only 2 seats when we visited, so expect to get takeout. The waiting time for takeout was only 15 minutes on a Saturday for lunch.

We got 5 rolls, and the fish was very fresh and from Japan. Our favourite roll was the Yuki House Roll which is 5 pieces, but generously stuffed full of multiple fish. The Salmon Oshi was also pretty good, but a little too much sauce for our preference.

Would recommend if you're craving really fresh takeout sushi.“

“Wonderful 60th Bday celebration today and excellent food! Definitely would come back!!“

“Absolutely LOVED their plant based menu! Very much recommend the oyster mushroom “calamari” 😍“

“Had dinner here with my friends last week and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, and the staff were all very friendly. Zoey was our server and she was outstanding and made our experience even better. We ordered the pho, soft-shell crab, and lobster roll. Every dish was excellent. The pho broth was especially tasty, and the noodles were just like the ones I atein Vietnam!“

“Oh my gosh, wow. So good.“

“Maria’s Taverna had a great ambience and delicious food. I shared appetizers meat balls, spanakopita and taziki and hummus! So delicious I took a doggie bag home for my chicken souvlaki. Thanks I definitely recommend!“

“Outstanding restaurant. Writing this review as we sit here enjoying our spring rolls, tom kha, pad si ew, green curry, and massaman curry. Everything is delicious, and the service is outstanding. They even put together a high chair for us when we arrived.“

“Oku Izakaya in Gastown feels like stepping into a little corner of Japan. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted warmly in true traditional style, which sets the tone right away. The menu sticks to authentic Japanese dishes, no Philadelphia rolls or Westernized fillers, which is honestly refreshing. The sashimi was the star: fresh, thick cuts, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The whole experience felt genuine and well executed. I’d absolutely go back.“

“Beth is one of the kindest people I know, and has created a great community hub. She initiated setting up Leg-In-Boot Square live music, with picnic tables and patio umbrellas. She does many good works, and helps many people. AND her baking & cooking are fabulous. The view is great, too.“

“A wonderful neighborhood cafe and bakery! Everything we had was delicious and the community vibe was strong. Lots of happy people and dogs outside!“

“Came for the first time on St. Patrick’s Day. I ordered ramen and requested to remove veggies. I tried Yokohama Iekei Ramen & Karaage on my first time here. I ended up eating karaage without dipping the tartar sauce because it was better without any sauce.“

“Such a cute and lovely place for brunch! We had Shakshuka and Salmon Benedict, as well as Turkish coffee and kombucha tea; everything was so delicious and elegantly presented, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!!!“

“Just had the chicken burrito made by Karan, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced — tender, well-seasoned chicken, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of spice. You can really tell it was made with care. Everything was wrapped up perfectly, and it held together without being soggy or dry. Easily one of the best burritos I’ve had in a while. Great job, Karan.“

“With impeccable attention to every last detail from the Japandi-inspired zen like interior to each of the carefully curated artisanal offerings, in a world of ubiquitous coffee shops SLO Coffee has created something refreshingly different.“

“Incredibly accommodating staff for my 5mo baby and husband. They seated us in a quieter section near a washroom with a change station. We relocated to a function (that was downstairs) and the staff helped us carry our stroller down. Second year that we've been here for a function and each time has been wonderful.“

“What nice people. The pizzaaaa come on peeps you cant keep this goodness a secret. Throw me a bone and keep me informed about places like this. Or throw me a slice“

“Great cocktails and excellent service“

“I adore Aidan's. The coffee is great, the treats are amazing, and there lunch menu is well crafted and goes above your standard coffee shop meals. The staff at the West Hastings tower are always lovely and so cheery. I appreciate all the hard work and effort they put into everyone's experience at Aidan's!“

“I liked it a lot. It was a great experience.“

“Friendly staff. Quick service. Tasty Food. Perfect breakfast spot. No wait on a Sunday late morning.“

“My first visit and it was exactly how my friend describes it, great atmosphere with even greater food for one’s palette“

“February 10th, 2023 was such a tiring day. I had classes at UCW till late and, as a good hungry taurine, I had to eat something delicious to make me feel well. Also, it had to be mandatorily vegan, so I would also keep my mind in peace. While searching for a restaurant with vegan options, I saw this sushi one, called Cofu Pressed Sushi. It was not far from UCW Vancouver House (around 15 minutes by bus) and it would be open till 9:00 PM. So, I decided to go there. I called my husband and we met there. The restaurant is not that large, and they have just a few tables, just the way I like it. But the best, in my opinion, was that it was so clean, fragrant, and decorated with such a good neatness that I felt a cozy mood as soon as I entered. Nevertheless, we were very well welcomed by the server, and he explained the whole menu to us. Besides they former factors I mentioned, the latter is the most important in my opinion. The way I am hosted and treated in any commercial place makes the whole difference in my final perception. I took the Aichi combo from the Omakase Menu. This combo had plant-based tuna (made of jackfruit), tofu, avocado, fresh mix veggie, and a sauce made of vivid beets and spicy mayo. As for my husband, he chose the Ofu combo. It had plant-based salmon (made of carrot and konjac), pumpkin, eggplant, red & yellow bell pepper, and a sauce made of cilantro, cucumber, and wild carrot. As the picture shows, the dish presentations were so beautiful, showing the food as something delicate, that the sushi master really took care of it. Last, but not least, the taste. It was so delicious! Every bite mattered to me. I was hungry, but I took every sushi slowly to feel all flavours and had the best sensory experience. For some the amount of food may look little, but I guarantee it made me fill satisfied. As a whole, I felt really delighted and I wish to return there soon to order the other options.“

“We had an awesome lunch, it was a staff event and everyone at the restaurant was very good. Right from the moment we walked in the door the service was spectacular. My wife had a back injury and the staff made sure she was comfortable. The food was great, we had a wonderful day. Thank you“

“93 Coffee is welcoming, great food and drinks and a lovely bright location in the Denman Mall.. Highly reccomended“

“The location of Ignite is perfect, right outside is a quaint little park.
The staff were friendly and have good recommendations for portion sizes.
The pizza was good, we tried the pesto one with ricotta and loved how light it was. The ricotta was refreshing too. We also had the garlic bread which was disappointing though. It was more of a lightly garliced pizza than cheesy garlic bread.“

“Our go to when we visit the city! Delicious food!“

“Absolutely wonderful staff, beautiful location and cool hotel.“

“I was there today for the first time and EVERYTHING was amazing. So happy to have this little gem in the neighbourhood. I have been singing their praises to everyone I have met today. I will be back and often!!“
