45 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Del Mar

“Cute place in Del Mar for coffee and breakfast/lunch.
We sat outside and enjoyed the view and weather.
Breakfast was ok, it was tasty but more like diner food. The hash browns are like a brick.
I wish the Greek omelette had the feta on the inside and not just sprinkled on top“

“My husband and I came here once and it’s now our favorite place to come eat! A woman Trudy who works there is an absolute super star! She is always going above and beyond to make the experience even better, the food is a plus ? don’t miss out on the grandmas Mac and cheese. It’s the best I’ve ever had!“

“Awesome place!
They start out by letting you sample each of the gelatos.
And then traditionally you pick two to go in your chosen cup size.
The server was friendly and helpful and made great recommendations.
It was delicious gelato!“

“Happy hour is bomb. $1.50 oysters, $6 shrimp tempura,“

“Great food . Well prepared and tasty , but a rowdy table with loud guests ruined the atmosphere and enjoyment. I asked management to calm the table down , but nothing was done.“

“I had just gotten back to SD after living in Washington and wow I was dying for some proper late night Mexican food at last 😂😂 El Pueblo was an excellent choice!! The California burrito + their salsa bar totally satisfied my craving, so good! I am very excited to try their fish tacos next, can't wait to stop by again 😄 Shout out to Julio, he was extremely helpful and went above and beyond with his service and hospitality!! 10/10 food & vibes“

“This was our first time eating Peruvian The food was tasty, fresh and great portions.“

“We have been looking for a place that served tasty Acai Bowls…Our favorite Acai bowl places either, closed down, burned down or changed the way they made their Acai bowls…We found Liquid Bean Café on the internet and decided to give it a try…Well, we both had the Acai bowls but I added an Egg Salad Sandwich pressed in a Panini press to our order…The Acai Bowls were fresh and totally delicious!!!…I really liked the Egg Salad Sandwich and loved the way it was pressed and toasted in the Panini press…We highly recommend Liquid Bean Café if you are ever in the Del Mar area…We will definitely be back again!!!…Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Not only does Drew knowledge of coffee exceed your expectations, but the service is always friendly and the product is on point!

A little joy is exactly what you feel when you’re doing business here!“

“It’s our annual place to be every August for the last 17 years: celebrating 50 years of marriage! The food, service and atmosphere right on the beach is heavenly. Our bartender Steve congratulated us and we talked for a short time. Everyone is so friendly, can’t beat the quality of their meals ! We drive out from Phoenix to have their specialty. Well worth the ride❤️❤️❤️“

“Many ice cream flavors, all delish!“

“Best grilled shrimp taco I've ever had, quite literally. The flavors, the presentation, it was exquisite. I walked in on a whim, due to the inviting ambiance, and the food, drink, and service (special shout out to Rudy!) was phenomenal. Highly recommend when visiting Del Mar!“

“Best pizza I’ve had in as long as I can remember!!! It was fantastic!!!

Absolutely Exceptional – A Must-Visit in Del Mar

Monarch Ocean Pub exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The open-air setting overlooking the street gives the perfect mix of energy and ease — you feel part of the buzz of Del Mar while enjoying a relaxed, elegant meal.

Our server, Bo, was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and genuinely delightful to talk with (we even discovered she went to Indiana University, which made it feel like a small-world connection!).

Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — from the fresh oysters and crisp Caesar salad to the soft Parker House rolls, the shrimp and lobster sliders, and the finale of melt-in-your-mouth Hawaiian donuts. Each bite was perfection.

Monarch doesn’t just serve food — they create an experience. It was the highlight of our trip and a place we’ll be talking about for a long time.“

“delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great service“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“I enjoyed the Ginger Miso salad“

“Great food! I had the lamb shank and it was so tender, it fell off the bone. Service was great!“

“This is one unique, totally and truly authentic Paris bakery & Cafe, 3rd Generation family (grandma's) recipe, you will enjoy their croissant, bunch of cakes just not possible to try everthing at once even though my wife tried and failed lol sitting area outside gets really busy summer time. Clean place, very well taken care of. Paid Parking garage. Very friendly staff. Most important, be prepared cuz this place will make your wallet feel it, but you get what you paid for.“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“Tacos were quite good -- I got an Al pastor and Asada. More flavorful than at many fast casual spots. 2 tacos were about $13. Relatively quick service, and has outdoor seating with some sun and some shade. Overall, I recommend, and I'm excited to come back and try the super breakfast burrito.“

“Pancakes are so good! One order is enough for two. And wherever they get their bacon? Delicious!“

“My daughter and I discovered this place and when I saw they were women owned and advocates of women’s empowerment, I couldn’t wait to try it! Milan greeted us with such friendliness and we chatted it up while she made our selections. I couldn’t get over the pink heart shaped straws. 🤩 You can’t beat the views or the kind service…plenty of places to sit and the outdoor area has WiFi access also!

Wish they had a rewards program cuz I’ll definitely be a regular. ☕️ ☕️ ☕️“

“Breakfast menu😘 excellent aervice“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Busy and loud but fun. Door and service was good. Recommend for casual dining“

“Le Bambou is one of my favorite restaraunts in all of San Diego and is very affordable! My favorite dishes are Shaken Beef and Star of the Sea in Tamarind Sauce with a side of rice. Each time I’ve gone, their food never disappoints and their flavors amaze me each time and has a wow factor! The Shaken Beef is always so juicy and never dry with great flavor. The Star of the Sea in Tamarind Sauce has a perfect balance of tamarind in its sauce. It’s subtle and blends in the perfect amount. The imperial rolls in the Vermicelli with Pork and Shrimp dish are some of the best egg rolls I’ve ever tried and their pho is also very tasty. It’s a small, family-owned business and the owners seem very sweet and give great recommendations. The prices are very reasonable and their portion sizes have just the right amount and I feel full. The restaurant has a romantic vibe but also a casual vibe at the same time. So if you feel like going on a date or going in casual with friends, family, or kids, it’s a great place to go! 10/10 recommend!“

“Queso fundido the elites and the steak plate“

“A must have when we are home!“

“Grabbed an iced latter with oat milk and it was so refreshing gosh!
The tables are ill sized(too high or too low)if you want to sit and work, but best option is to be on the deck with a view and under the sun shade.
Location is great with the beach walking distance away“

“If you’re in Del Mar and not stopping by Jimmy O’s, you’re missing out. The vibe, the energy, the people — everything is top-tier. Massive shoutout to Casey and Chris — absolute gents who made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, they treated us like regulars. Whether you’re local or just visiting, this is the place to be. Good drinks, great crowd, and even better service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We stopped by Darshan Bakery hoping to grab a cinnamon roll, but they were out at the time. We ended up getting the pull-apart cinnamon roll instead. The flavor was good, but I do wish it had been served warm or at least offered the option to warm it up. The bakery itself has a cozy vibe, we went at 9:20am, we’d definitely give it another try earlier in the day next time.“

“We stopped in for their Tuesday kids eat free. The food was great, high quality and tasty. Fries were crispy and flavorful. Burgers were smash burger style and so good. The kids were treated with kindness and respect. They picked a soda flavor they didn't like, and the staff were quick to notice and come switch it out for them. I love that the soda is real sugar. That is a huge plus. We all enjoyed the food and the funny blooper videos on the TV screens in the dining room. It was a great experience.“

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!“

“We so enjoyed our time last night with friends. We will return soon.“

“Only had lunch here two times but it was absolutely the best deli meal I have had and I am originally from Manhattan. The food is the best, generous portions, the staff is great, prices are good for today’s times and for what you get. We will be back!!!❤️“

“Great atmosphere and super service“

“Enjoyed it totally! 2 nd time and will go back again. Love the food and the menu“

“We had an amazing stay at L'Auberge Del Mar. The hotel was stunning—beautifully updated with modern finishes and stylish furnishings. Our room was exceptional, featuring an incredibly comfortable bed, luxurious bedding, a marble bathroom, and a breathtaking ocean view from the balcony. The hot tub was a perfect temperature for the cool May evening. On Saturday night, there was a gorgeous wedding on the rooftop, and we enjoyed listening to the music from the hot tub. It wrapped up around 10:30 p.m., allowing for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep. The staff was extremely courteous, and the valet service was top-notch. We will absolutely return to this beautiful hotel and highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay—don’t hesitate to book your room!“
