50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Berkeley

“Pretty good food. I think we will go back“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“Excelente personas muy trabajadoras ambiente familiar y bastantitas menús saludables lo recomiendo al 100%“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“Char Siu pork plate was decent but not phenomenal. I like the juiciness of the pork and a lil crunch on the skin. Decoration was cute, cucumber pickles were rotten/had a bit of foul smell. Not sure if it’s worth $23-24 after tax. I can easily get this dish at a Chinese restaurant or Chinatown for cheaper.
I also wish the eggplant salad had less sauce because the aroma of star anise or sth was too much for me.“

“This is a top go to spot for me. I’m not always around during their hours, or forget the options of places, so I get something from here about once every 6 weeks. As vegan I either get the falafel sandwich or plate. I prefer the plate. It amazes me how simple the combination of vegetables and sauces are, and yet it’s so flavorful. I feel full and healthy after eating at this joint and the people working there have such a nice vibe. If vegan they will swap out hummus for the yogurt based items.“

“We recently rented Tarocco for our baby shower and it was perfect. The owner, Sequoia, is thoughtful, energetic, and eager to make sure your event goes well. She helped us design a menu that worked around specific food accommodations, her communication was clear and timely -- really everything you could ask for from a host. After the event we received many comments about how great the food was and how well suited the space was for our group of ~50. Would highly recommend Tarocco to anyone considering an event there.“

“Looking to beat the heat so we headed to Berkeley for lunch. Got the Pastrami Ruskie with Latke. Sooooo good. Huge portions. Friendly service. They were out of Prosecco so they couldn’t make me their Old Man & The Deli. Got a margarita and it was both tasty & packed a punch.“

“We had the best brunch experience ever today! The lemon ricotta pancakes along with the cheesy potatoes were delish! We sat outside on their darling little patio and listened to live music, it was so lovely. But the best part of all was the outstanding service from Maxine, her suggestions were on point and her beautiful energy was exactly what our morning needed! Will definitely be back!“

“My sister and I just had a couple of Cali Alley burgers delivery and these things are good! Next time I'm in Berkeley, I will definately order again.“

“This is the best Indian food you can get in Berkeley! (Even better than Viks) We got the Vada Pav, Masala Chai and Donne Biryani. Everything tasted great and authentic! Vada pav reminded me of homemade ones in Bombay. Owner was very nice and welcoming. We are definitely coming back for sure!“

“Great food. Nice owners. Chef used to cook for Bette’s Oceanview Diner. No wait. Good service .“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“Tucked away a bit off the beaten path in Southwest Berkeley, Cellarmaker is one of the gems of Bay Area brewing. IPAs are a specialty here and they are all interesting and consistently delicious, no matter what is on tap. Other great options include the Coffee & Cigarettes porter, plus really interesting barrel aged and sour beers from the Rare Barrel.

Pizza and other bar snacks/appetizers are very tasty, and the space is very chill and laid back, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

The only negative I can think of is that they aren’t open 7 days a week!“

“Great food and great service“

“The real thing whatever they serve you. And delicious.“

“Great beer selection; try the Structure“

“Peaceful place, friendly people and Good beer 🍺“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“Enjoyed an evening dinner - gold and red beets salad with cheese and a juicy pork chop with arugula, apples, roasted pecans, and bacon finished with a nice islamic or glazed dressing. Excellent service! Great ambience! A very satisfying meal!“

“What a great place, especially for families! The staff is friendly, attentive and bilingual should you be more comfortable speaking Spanish! Everyone at our table enjoyed their delicious breakfast of perfectly cooked pancakes, eggs, bacon etc! I know it sounds like a lot but order a biscuit for everyone to try at least a bite!!

Kid-friendliness: They’ll love the bear theme!“

“so fun With our friends. I hope to see you guys all soon.“

“Clean efficient great for gathering (outdoors) or to grab and go. The food is fresh with dishes like dosa, made to order. Indian food is part of my heritage, so the grocery store next door is a bonus.“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“I saw someome make a TikTok about this place and immediately knew I had to add that to my list. I headed out to Berkeley on a Friday morning to try it out and I bought a friend who isnt a big fan of Thai and or Asian food. I was thankful to experience this style of northern Thai cuisine I believe the order Tanzie referred to it as. The hospitality and service was above average. I enjoyed all of my food and so did my friend. The pork jowl was agreed to be are favorite out of the all the dishes we tried. Very juicy , flavorful and just all around deliscious topped off with that crispy fried garlic. The brown rice over that soft scrambled "lava egg" was to die for paired with the savory tomato based minced pork that I ordered extra spicy of course. The star of the show that me and my friend both agreed on had to be the "prik nam pla" which I would describe as a sweet and spicy vinegar or fish sauce based dipping sauce accompanied by a nice punch of spice from the thai chili peppers. I dont have any complaints whatsoever and I will definitely be back.“

“Best of the best. Tons of choices, exquisite French patisseries, true North African specialties… there is so much to choose from. High quality and scrumptious! We will be back!!!“

“open mic Tuesdays and the food and atmosphere!“

“Excellent coffee and exceptional house made baked goods! Everyone who works there is super friendly and they love dogs, which is important for our family, especially when we're en route to daycare or the park with the pup and kiddo. My only wish is that they had a space with a nice seating area so I could soak up the good vibes for longer.“

“Looking for a place for brunch last night, and found this gem! Don’t be scared by the line because it’s 10000% worth it, AND you might just get a free mimosa while waiting? staff feels like family, and you can def taste the love in the food. Buen trabajo muchachos!! Saluddd?“

“The best gelato I’ve found with many unique and delicious flavors using fresh fruits and ingredients on a daily basis. I come in every time I am in Berkeley, because it’s head and shoulders above the gelato in the Sacramento area!“

“I love Thayir Sadam. It’s an authentic South Indian comfort food that tastes so amazing, clean and fresh. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly and helpful
Thank you for bringing this to our neighborhood
I will be back soon“

“I was there yesterday and had the Killer BLAT I didn't know if I would like it but turns out I loved it and I will return it was so good. It's a great place that you have to try.“

“My cousin showed me this place and I fell in love! They always have k-pop playing and the corn dogs are so mouth watering good!

Vegetarian options: They have dogs that don't have any meat in them

Parking: It's Berkley. The parking here is tough to find“

“The food is scrumptious, fast service & glorious sunshine as we basked enjoying the fried chicken sandwiches with spicy slaw Beyond yummy !“

“I love this place and their beer! I first had one at Alvarado Street Brew in Monterey, CA. They’ve got great sours and fruit forward IPAs for me and beer that tastes like beer for my BF. I wish they had more seating but that’s not a reason to rate below 5 starts. Maybe they will open a bigger location in Alameda or Oakland ?? DOG FRIENDLY“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“The best German food in Berkeley. Anja is the warmest, kindest, and most caring chef in the world! She and her team turns out pastries that are not too sweet, and her dishes are always sourced locally to be the freshest! I can always count on Anja’s to walk out with a smile :)“

“Delicious baked goods. Awesome staff!“

“Picked up dinner twice this week. Delicious.“

“My favorite cafe in Berkeley! Vibes are immaculate, always busy (for good reason) but you can sit outside in lovely Strawberry Creek Park. Coffee is delicious, and I love the cheddar and scallion scones. I love to come here with a book and hang out in the park. Also there are always cute dogs!

Vegetarian options: Most pastries are vegan. Oat and almond milk available for all drinks.

Dietary restrictions: Oat and almond milk available. Most pastries are vegan and gluten free.

Kid-friendliness: The park outside is very kid friendly; there are usually multiple kids running around.“

“Bowls are good for the soul“

“Delicious kabab plates with a lovely showcase of desserts. The food is fresh, reasonably priced, and their lamb is well worth it.

They don't have much seating space (2 2-person tables) and a restroom that's well-maintained.

All the meals are served in to go containers with fast preparation!“

“Had a delicious mocha here this morning😋😋😋“

“Cozy authentic bakery tucked in a corner of the building. The owner was extremely enthusiastic and really took time to explain the pastries. I got a Meyer lemon danish that was really good- the filling was a bit cream cheese and lemony and it was not too sweet at all! It balanced perfectly with the flakey buttery pastry. Will definitely come again, loved the service!!“

“All the people here: Paul, Dave, Mace, Elena, Matt, Joe, Misty, Rosey and Emily are great.

Dietary restrictions: They are willing to make the Southwest Chicken salad the way I like it. I only wish that they could get their decaf machine working☹️“

“Food and service was excellent“

“The best food I have had in a long time! Great taste and excellent customer service. A must try !“

“Hands down the best spot to have a beer and talk with friends, neighbors, or strangers. It's not a large space, but always manages to have enough room to be more than comfortable. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a clean, minimalist look. The beer is stellar, and they always keep variety on tap. Hoi has become an anchor for the neighborhood.“

“I went there after Gameday at Cal. (Go Bears! ?) I got a BAT sandwich which was super good, the bacon was in-between crispy and chewy and the bread was semi crispy! I also got peach lemonade which exceeded my expectations! It tasted exactly like peaches, it didn't taste artificial at all! The service was very quick only taking about 5 minutes. The atmosphere felt cozy (except for paramedics being in front of the store front) !“
