50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Altadena

“I ordered the Chinese Chicken Curry and it was super delicious just like the UK. I haven’t had that in the USA before! Really good stuff. Order with Brown hub Rice. Other people in my project ordered different things and all said how good it was.“

“Wonderfull place!

Amara Kitchen in Altadena is a gem that truly stands out! The moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels both cozy and modern. The menu is filled with delicious, wholesome options that cater to a variety of dietary preferences, making it easy for anyone to find something they’ll love. The ingredients are fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The avocado toast and grain bowls are perfectly balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve, which only enhances the experience. Amara Kitchen is definitely a go-to spot for a healthy and satisfying meal in Altadena!"“

“Best pub in the Altadena area. It is a family run business, and really, a more traditional "public house." Not too many places like this around! Guiness and other European ales on tap. Nice selection of wines too. Say hi to Judah, Gail & family and help support Altadena!“

“muy delisiosa comida lo atienden Co un gran serbisio recomendado“

“Super cute spot with friendly, inviting staff. And of course delicious, very pretty cookies! I was delighted to see they have gluten free options (sugar cookie and chocolate chip). Highly recommend. And you can pop on over next door to Unincorporated coffee for a drink!“

“When I tell you this place has the BEST TACOS I've ever eaten.... I am not over exaggerating at all. I no longer live nor visit Altadena/Pasadena as much anymore but my Dad took me yesterday 2/25/25 and I ordered 2 asada tacos and 2 carnitas and the meat has so much flavor and cooked just the way I like it. I definitely will be driving n hour nd half more often for this food.“

“I think Prime Pizza is the best New York style pizza you can get in the LA area. The pizza is really crispy, and they offer both round and square pies. You can order by the slice or get a whole pizza. My go to slices are the spicy pepperoni, classic cheese, and pepperoni. The hoagie is also very good and worth trying.

The parking lot itself is small, but street parking is easy and usually not a far walk. Beyond the food, this location feels very community driven. You can really see it with Pasadena and Altadena merch being sold and the overall neighborhood vibe from the people here.

Seating is outdoor only in a patio setup, and they have a big TV outside where they show sports, which adds to the experience. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.“

“This will make you so happy I recommend you try this food right now🍾🍾“

“I started with their bestseller breakfast burrito, and it delivers exactly what you want in a classic breakfast build — hearty, flavorful, and properly balanced. The potatoes are cooked right, the textures work, and nothing feels like filler. It’s satisfying without being overly heavy. But the real surprise for me was The Green Burrito. Egg, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, salsa verde — and I added chorizo. The combination is layered, bright, and bold. The sun-dried tomatoes give it depth, the salsa verde cuts through beautifully, and the chorizo adds that extra savory punch. In my opinion, it actually outshined the bestseller. If you’re someone who appreciates a protein-forward, well-crafted breakfast burrito with intention behind the flavors, this is a spot worth pulling up to. Community-approved for a reason.

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“Great array of food options in a lively atmosphere“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

“DO NOT GO HERE! You'll never be able to enjoy a sandwich from another establishment again. This place will ruin every other diner experience you've ever had. You will be saddened to realize that no other place can compete, and you don't have the budget or time to go to Bub and Grandma's every time you want to eat out. In fact, you may be forced to stay in and cook until you save up enough money and vacation time to make another trip out to Bub and Grandma's. Which will lead you to build your entire schedule and financial outlook around a single, exquisite restaurant experience.“

“Excellent deep dish style pizza.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“The owners were the sweetest and answered questions quickly. I loved the space so much I ended up talking to Amber since the place is so obviously carefully curated. If you have the time I would definitely recommend stopping by! I chose the ruby apple and chamoy gummy bears and it was perfectly sour for me!! They do everything they can in house including creating their own chamoy recipe and it is absolutely delicious!! The ruby apple is the only dairy free option for now but with continued support from the community I can see them expanding as much as they aspire to:)“

“Absolutely love this place. It’s so cute and feels like home like being in Armenia. The food is made with so much heart that it feels like medicine for the body. You can truly feel the kind energy of the people cooking. Wishing them continued success!“

“This sushi place is the best in town.
Raw tuna has an absolutely superb taste. It’s of great quality and has a high turnover rate, ensuring that you can always enjoy fresh sushi. However, one unfortunate aspect is that we don’t take reservations, which means we have to wait for at least 20 minutes.“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

“I’ve been wanting to try Marko’s for a while. My brother and I had lunch there today. We were not disappointed. I ordered Nopales & Eggs, my brother ordered French Toast & Eggs with sausage and bacon. The food was so fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to try the other items on the menu. The service was very friendly and attentive. Marko came and introduced himself. He gave us a brief talk on how they pride themselves on serving fresh and authentic food. Recipes from the abuelita. Definitely coming back.“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“

“Wonderful experience. The chef was friendly and entertaining and prepared the most beautiful omakase for us. I keep ingredients- kosher and the chef was easily able to create a menu of only fish with fins and scales for me on advance request. He was careful about cross contamination too.“

“Great high quality food and service“

“Amazing delicious food and love the ambiance. The servers were awesome!!“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“Lost my keys somewhere along Sunset and checked in with Ceci’s to see if anyone turned them in. They didn’t but ownership was so kind and empathetic that they handed over a fresh and delicious piece of tomato focaccia for my troubles. That’s what’s called unreasonable hospitality. Thank you guys, that was incredibly sweet of you and it brightened my day.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“My go to breakfast spot. Love how vegan friendly it is and on a beautiful LA day it’s such a gorgeous spot to sit outside and talk with friends. The steak sandwich and breakfast crunch wrap are my current favs but it’s hard to pick when everything is so good!“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“The biggest value of this place is its location and outstanding service. We came for breakfast as a family of six and even changed our table at the last minute, but the staff handled it with ease.
Our server, Razmik, was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He has such a contagious laugh and warm personality that immediately made us feel at home. Service like his is rare, and honestly, it’s worth visiting this place just for people like him.
The food was also excellent. I especially loved the eggplant and zucchini chips, the fried calamari, and the omelettes. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!“

“It’s a one of kind experience! I ♥️ their coffee, pastries and the ambiance!“

“Soooo good! This was my first time trying Blossom Market Hall, recommended by a friend, and i absolutely loved my experience here! My sister and I had Rolland sushi, it was the perfect meal! Delicious with the sweetest staff. We also had a great experience with the lovely woman at the bar, she made our night too! Bar prices are GREAT!

Can’t wait to come back and try more places.“

“This was hands down, the best surf and turf I have had in a very long time. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff was amazing. Try them out!“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“Great food. Nice staffs. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

“Guisados offers delicious, authentic Mexican tacos with rich flavors and high-quality ingredients. The menu features a variety of hearty fillings, all served in a casual and vibrant environment. The staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, a great spot for satisfying Mexican comfort food.“

“Favorite Sichuan restaurant in California! Definitely the most authentic Sichuan food I’ve ever had in the states (yes I’m from Sichuan so take my word for it lol)
We live in the Bay Area, but whenever we’re visiting LA, we go to this place because of the great taste.
We ordered rabbit, beef and beef. The portions were HUGE. Every dish was flavorful, and it’s amazing that they picked seasonal vegetables to complement the flavor of the meat in each dish. And the spiciness is really close to what I had back at home in Sichuan. The chengdu fried rice(this should be the name if I remember it correctly) is also very good, not oily at all.
The restaurant owner is also very nice and she told us the rabbit meat is fresh from the butcher shop everyday, which sets this restaurant apart from others. (Well, this is the only restaurants in the states that I have ever been to that serves rabbit on the menu, so I really appreciate that)
100% recommend this place.“

“I don't even know where to start because everything was amazing. Alcohol not necessary for a good time here! The food. The drinks. The vibes. The owners. The things they support. Their selflessness. Their creativity. The hope and life force that they provide for those who need it. They deserve your support. As a celiac, and someone who cannot handle alcohol very well.. this is it. This is what I'm talking about when I say I want atmosphere. This is what I want to give my money to. I got the black garlic pasta and it was incredible. My partner got chicken adobo and it was also amazing. We played chess and chat the owners up for a long while. They do mahjong nights on Thursdays apparently, so if you need socializing in a safe place with good food made by people who care deeply about others - go here.“
