19 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carmel Valley

“First visit here after moving to the neighborhood. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, felt like I was on vacation! Some of the patrons were staying there and there were some just for the food like I was. I will be back to try other appetizers and main course/lunch or dinner.“

“As a breakfast burrito self described snob, the bacon avocado breakfast burrito is the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. I would eat this for breakfast every day of the rest of my life. Pico de gallo was fresh, bacon I got extra crispy and the avocado was perfect. “Chefs Kiss” is what I think the cool kids are saying these days“

“My husband & I arrived at opening and were greeted and seated right away. Customer service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I both ordered Lunch Box specials and shared a J's Maki roll. Food was fresh and our server was attentive, checking in on us every little while to make sure everything was okay. Mika Sushi is definitely a gem in Carmel Valley Village and we'll definitely be back again.“

“We love Corral winery! We stop by their tasting room every time we are in town. The wine is delicious. Our favorites are the Sauv Blanc, Pinot and petit Sarah, and we always enjoy the flights. Their new location is gorgeous, with so much outdoor space and seating in the back. The entire crew is so friendly and always make us feel welcome. They are family and dog friendly as well. You should definitely stop by!“

“I love the Bonilla family!! They are so amazing and it was a pleasure working for them. The food and dunks are amazing too!!“

“We visited Big Sur Vineyards this weekend one of the best Pinot in the area!“

“Had a lovely afternoon tasting wine at the Holman Tasting Room. Elizabeth was super knowledgeable and very accommodating- we very much enjoyed talking to her about wine and the region. Wines were top notch. Especially love the Chardonnay, 3 Sisters Pinot Noir, and Syrah. Very nice cheese and charcuterie board. Definitely recommend checking them out.“

“Very enjoyable outdoor atmosphere, while dining in the beautiful, warm sunshine. All of our meals were delicious. Bread served beforehand was so good, too! Pricey, so can't go often, but will definitely go back on special occasions.“

“What a beautiful setting and fantastic wines! It’s a great place to relax with a glass or bottle in the CV sun 🌞. The owners and employees are terrific and so is the music they pipe all over the property. Don’t miss this gem of a tasting room. Cheers!“

“We decided to go through Carmel Valley and stop for some wine tasting since the Pacific Coast Highway was closed due to a landslide.

Highly recommended. The area is full of wineries and tasting rooms and the views of the valley are incredible. We stopped at Cowgirl Winery and got 2 sets of wine tasting flights. It was a great chance to learn more about Californian wine.

The place was beautiful, you can have your wine in this amazing garden.“

“Please know that I am a cook and a food connoisseur. My friend and I dined at Corkscrew Cafe last evening. We were blown away! Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations! It was a perfect party of palatable joy! A friend of Christina's had recommended the Meyer's Lemon Prosciutto Pizza. Serious magic on the tongue!!! And the crust... I normally don't eat the crust of a pizza. I devoured every bit. My favorite pizza is a margarita pizza. We shared. It was every bit as delightful as the Meyer's lemon! I'm a calamari snob. HANDS DOWN the BEST calamari on the Monterey Peninsula! Tender, light, fresh Monterey Bay calamari. And they are brilliant enough to serve it with both tartar sauce and a delightful cocktail sauce. You MUST experience the PEAR SALAD! We delightfully sipped LaMarca Prosecco during our meal. The servers were friendly and caring. The pizza cook a genius! We asked if we could bring fresh gluten-free pizza dough and if they would use it to prepare a pizza for Christina's daughter next week. They are happy to accommodate! It definitely without any hesitation is worth the drive into beautiful Carmel Valley!!! I can't wait to go again and again. I have to try their pasta with Bolognese and their short rib...♥️♥️♥️“

“This was a great way to wrap up our wine tasting in Carmel Valley. You order at the counter, then take your number and find a place to sit. They will bring the food out to you, but you are on your own for keeping your water filled and getting napkins, utensils, etc.

The food was simple (grilled cheese with sun dried tomato pesto and the side of meatballs), but the quality and taste were on point. Two of us split these, and we each had a glass of wine (great selection of area wineries).

It was recommended to by Pyper at Sardine Factory, and we thank her for that.“

“Staying in Carmel for the Car Week from Scotland. What a gem of a place needs more customers. The food was spectacular and the staff are just SO nice. Wine delicious and NOT expensive.
We will be back without a doubt and encourage you alll to visit.
These people deserve to be successful!!
Thank you for a lovely meal!“

“Had a fantastic time doing a tasting at this winery! The owner, Steve happened to be at the tasting room while we were there. He made a point to stop by every table doing a tasting and thank them for chosing McIntyre that day. Very solid wine and an incredibly knowledgeable staff! Highly recommend!“

“Trailside is one of my favorite local breakfast areas. Diego is the manager. They have a great selection of beers, morning drinks. I usually get the huevos rancheros with an ice coffee and a morning beer.

Nights are really great. Clear skies and good views of the stars at night.“

“You gotta visit just for the decorations!! Cowboy theme extravaganza!!! Some kinda creepy, but so fun.

Burger was very good!! Cooked well and came out juicy. The blue cheese was good quality.

A friend had the fried chicken and said it was excellent. Another recommended the Patty Melt.

But it's really all about the decorations!! The ceiling and walls are covered in old boots, animal skins, animal heads, signs, saddles, horns, pictures, chairs, hats, etc. etc. etc.

We were told by two locals during our wine tastings that this is the bar all locals come to at night.

The service was excellent!! Really wish I remember the server's name, but she has as much character as the restaurant does!!! Loved chatting with her. She gave us some excellent wine tasting recommendations too!!“

“Georgia Winery…beautiful setting, surrounded by the warmth and romance of California. The Sauvignon Blanc was excellent and the best pizza assortment was elegantly served! I will order a case of wine to be shipped to my home!“

“Bernardus Lodge and Spa where we were staying recommended Roux. We arrived for an early dinner and ordered a variety of appetizers to split with a glass of wine. The food and service was spectacularly. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.“
