50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Vancouver

“It is superb! Great link between front of the house, our server + Rev, and the kitchen. Fabulous good, atmosphere and wine. Will be back soon. 🥂“

“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!“

“Very cozy restaurant, I highly recommend the Bigoli Nero - the best tasting seafood pasta I've ever had. The staff provided friendly and excellent service too.“

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering“

“great service good food and great price“

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

“I had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant. The food is amazing. The fish & chip, tartar sauce, slaw and fries are out of this world. Definitely worth the trip! Food was served fast and service was outstanding.

Merci à Mélodie pour le bon service en français!!“

“*Special event on...everyone is still kind and quick to help. Retail of any sort isn't easy but they make it look like it is!*

Awesome place with Vancouver's best beer. It's crazy how good round after round of new creations are made. Patio is nice, inside is spacious and bright.“

“The food was pretty tasty and the service was phenomenal.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our time together here and would definitely come back to try out some other dishes that this place offers.

My girlfriend had gotten the Pad Kee Mao Drunken Noodles and I got the Yellow Curry with Potatoes and a side of Coconut Rice.

Although I had to pay extra for a side of rice that doesn't come along with the curry, it isn't worthy of losing a star.“

“I would get the volcano roll again. Came with a small spicy sashimi salad instead of chopped on top of the roll which was nice. Wouldn’t do the nigiri set although it’s fine and decent value. Takoyaki was good. Basic roll like Cali, dynamite and yam were to expectation.“

“Discovered Puerto Mexico last week and I’ve already been twice! Their bean tacos are soooooo good and cheap! I got 4 tacos for $16 I think. Best authentic tacos in Vancouver hands down. I’ve been telling everyone about this place because it’s just so good. The staff are so so friendly as well! Highly recommend“

“I ate at Zarak last night for the first time and I was blown away. Every Single Dish was spectacular!!! The portions were generous, the flavours are like nothing I have ever experienced and the cocktails... Run don't Walk to Zarak. Special mention: The service was great. All the staff were attentive, informative and happy. What a treat. I will be back!“

“Great service. Great Food. My go to place for Thai food!“

“Conveniently located in Gastown, this tight space restaurant just wins my heart. Upon seating we were notified about the two-hour dining time. Since it’s our first time, the server briefly went over the menu in quite a fast pace - we definitely feel the pressure to speed up the order and dinning experience. This is the least favourite part of the entire evening. Exceptional food - the beef tongue cold appetizer is delightfully pleasant and tasty. The premium sashimi platter is plentiful with various types of sashimi with decent thickness. Totally love it. The bluefin tuna hand roll is good. The beef tongue steak with teriyaki sauce is very juicy, soft, tender and melt in the mouth. We genuinely enjoy the food. Wish the service can be less rushed and it would be the perfect dining experience. Overall, highly recommend.“

“wow this is amazing! I had the gluten free Crist with all vegan options. so delicious. you have to try it!!“

“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!!“

“We visited Le Bellisse Café on Saturday, March 14th, 2026, in the evening around 4–5 PM. There was quite a lineup when we arrived, and the cafe felt a bit tight on space with a limited number of tables. It’s a small place, though it might have also felt busier because it was the weekend.

That said, everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The food was very fresh, flavorful, and literally melted in the mouth. Despite the wait and the limited seating, the quality of the food definitely made the visit worthwhile. I also took a few pictures during our visit.“

“Wow! We were blown away… best vegan breakfast we’ve ever had - and we’re used to California vegan! A must-try if you’re in the city… portions a bit smaller than you’d like (but I’m 6ft8 lol) but the taste is out of this world. Burrito, sandwich, croissant, matcha… all amazing Updated from previous review on 2026-04-18“

“great food and great service, very friendly“

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

“We have lunched and dinned here for decades, through changes and renovations.
The service attained and maintained a consistent level of efficiency and courtesy for the last 2 decades.
We enjoy the dim sums which are always delicate, light but flavourful.
For dinner, some spectacular dishes require pre-orders. We always enjoyed the braised duck on a bed of savoury mixed mushroom (forgot the proper name of the dish), and many more.“

“Such a great small locally owned delicious restaurant. Atmosphere was great food was even better. 10/10 for everything extremely kind and friendly staff. All meals were made with extreme care and real Italian style. Recommend that groups bigger than 8 call ahead and they will be more than willing to welcome and accommodate for you and your party.“

“Did chipotle chicken poutine was delicious. The burger smash tacos were pretty good. A little more sauce or maybe a side of ketchup would have gone a long way. The cocktails were delicious but a little small for the price. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was fabulous. Downtown UBC on a sunny day on the patio is a great stop“

“We enjoyed our meal here. We enjoyed the Happy Hour offerings and felt that the value was tremendous. Everything was high quality and very tasty. The atmosphere was good for pre-peak hours and we think it would be a place we will return to very soon.“

“Had some excellent sharing plates (4). loved the spring rolls wrapped in lettuce and the mushroom "wings" . Make a rez, it is a small space.“

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

“My favourite sandwich shop in Vancouver. HUGE portions, delicious flavours. The owner is super personable and friendly. Always a must when we’re in Vancouver! I think about sandwiches from this place almost daily. I drive an hour and a half into downtown Vancouver just for this place.“

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

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

“I've come here a few times to eat-in and for take-out. The service is always fast & staff are efficient & friendly! There's also tables and a washroom (which is also well-maintained). The portions & price are good value as I sometimes even spilt a burrito into 2 meals. It's my current go-to place to satisfy my burrito cravings & I'd recommend it!“

“めちゃめちゃうまかった！Had sockeye salmon don and saikyo-zuke tara don both came with unique satisfying flavours and totally made our day. So appreciative of their efforts to offer such high-quality meals. You can tell generous good people running this place for sure which made me feel good being there. Cafe space is a part of office building foyer nice and open space (when building entrance locked you can buzz then building security lets you in). Oh did I mention matcha latte the flavour is very similar to what you would find on streets in Kyoto - simple goodness.“

“It’s still best to me in Vancouver
Downtown Vancouver
Been here over decades
Chefs highly reputable and professional
Shop is decent and not those super high end fancy modern type
Great for dating and experience authentic style. Nothing fancy, don’t expect like lighting, games or whatever.
They sell “food” “fresh” Chef’s skill. The traditional Sushi Arts

It’s fixed
I sit along the bar table

Chat with chef and view what his skill and explanation of each dishes.

Great info on how those food come from and how they are processed and when arrived YVR and how they source it and how rare it is for some dishes

He use his experience to work on different circumstances like late delivery or quality from JP local market QA information. Then he decide what to deal with it

Quality is high end. No doubt and no complaints

Staff are super nice and helpful

Love the vipe and feel like back in local Japanese Omakase restaurants

It’s pricey but worth it.

6pm and 8pm seatings

Make reservations!“

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

“Great Bubble tea and dessert place

I enjoyed my caramel pudding fresh milk tea with pearls, and also the little custard filled dessert (Taiyaki) that comes as a combo.

The store offers a stylish ambience and there are some boardgames offered, I find that's inviting.

Only sad thing: They make you order on a touch screen and that removes the in-person interaction with their staff. The machine still asks for a tip...“

“A great little sushi place! There are two seats for dine in but I did take out through their online ordering. The couple who runs the shop have the best hospitality. They care very deeply about the food and service!

The fish was amazingly fresh and I really enjoyed the saba shiso roll. I'm very excited to try they their other rolls next time!“

“Stopped by Kramky Cafe for the first time today and I’m really glad I did. It’s in my neighborhood but a bit out of my usual route, so this was my first visit and definitely not my last.

The two staff working today were incredibly kind and welcoming, which immediately set a good tone. The place has a great vibe. It’s cozy, small, and very much a neighborhood café feel, with nice music playing in the background that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your coffee.

I had their drip coffee, which was really good, and I liked that they use Moja Coffee, a solid Vancouver local roaster. I paired it with a sugar-free berry muffin, and the only sweetness comes from the banana, blueberry, and pineapple. It tasted clean, light, and surprisingly satisfying. Perfect for breakfast without feeling heavy. Best of all, come early around 730 and you’re in for some warm baked goods fresh from the oven!

Overall, great coffee, thoughtful food, kind service, and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back to try something else next time.“

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

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

“We sat and our waiter brought dishes. An excellent experience. A tad loud as there are lots of tables in a small space. Cocktails listed were numerous - ok on the taste. Overall, recommend!“

“Louis is the best bartender and server ever!“

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

“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!“

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

“seriously, The BEST coffee shop in East Vancouver, hands down! Javier and Rebecca are Welcoming, friendly, ready for a laugh and all around an absolute Joy to interact with. The coffee and fresh baking is some of the best I have ever tasted and it's always served with a warm smile ✨️☕️ 10 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Excellent the best“

“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!“

“We were hungry for some brunch food and happened to be meeting a friend at Davie and Denman. Saw this place on google with good reviews. I didn’t disappoint. The eggs were perfect. I had a Goya’s Bennie it was amazing. Locals were coming in everyone knew each other it was a very welcoming place with a unique vibe.“

“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.“
