42 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“

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

“We had the best service that you can possibly get really great. The food was actually excellent. A reason for the four is I ordered an egg for my barbecue tri-tip sandwich and the yolk came done like well done. I would expect any chef knows that when you order an egg for a burger or a sandwich if you want it to be ready nice and warm and runny that’s why you have it put on there. But flavors and textures were excellent“

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

“This is a must try!! Love the “tour” they took us on to try all the flavors. I’d come here every day if I could. Highly recommend the leather flavor, but they change their flavors every once in a while. Large servings, I got a small for reference!“

“Joe was an awesome bartender! He made the T special and I don't even know what is in it because I'll just keep coming back to him for it. I don't even like bloody Mary's and that one was great. Food was fast and very good and if they need to bring the tostada back. Thanks Joe!“

“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.“

“great pizza. amazing atmosphere can't beat pizza by the beach“

“Kudos to Gerardo, He was always very attentive & making sure we had a wonderful experience. Super Friendly Staff. Overall Amazing Service.“

“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❤️❤️❤️“

“Not only does Drew knowledge of coffee exceed your expectations, but the service is always friendly and the product is on point! Not to mention the merchandise is well priced and the t-shirts are super soft. He even delivers so there’s no need to worry about when you’re going to get it! A little joy is exactly what you feel when you’re doing business here!“

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We came up to Del Mar for the day, as newbies, and found the Monarch from reviews. We accidentally entered on the rooftop patio area, where you can order food and drinks at the bar (rather than doing table service inside), and we're so glad we did! We shared a turkey club (delish) and got two very tasty (and strong) drinks for some pre-shopping energy. Highly recommend the Mai Tai🌸. You can't beat the view!“

“Best pizza I’ve had in as long as I can remember!!! It was fantastic!!! Super friendly on the phone when they called confirming my Internet order (I’m really impressed they reached out to confirm - above and beyond great customer service!) and the delivery person was incredibly nice! Delivery was lightening fast. Highly recommend!“

“delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great service“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Very glad I found this place. It is a legit, Mexican taco shop with good prices, good portions, and good food. Many of the taco shops in the area are super overpriced and will give you a tiny burrito. Not this one. It's an honest taco shop and feels almost nostalgic since so few of these places exist in the area.“

“I enjoyed the Ginger Miso salad“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“Breakfast menu😘 excellent aervice“

“I was in the area visiting from LA with my future in-laws who are locals.They have been coming here for years and always shared how delicious it was.I was blown away by the food. The service is outstanding. It is owned and operated by a family. I will absolutely be back and recommend to anyone who likes Vietnamese cuisine.“

“If you are looking for a hidden gem in Del Mar, you have to stop by Kini. It is such a cute, charming little booth that packs a huge punch when it comes to both quality and atmosphere.

The first thing you’ll notice is the stunning ocean view. There is nothing quite like sipping a fresh cup of coffee while looking out over the water—it’s the perfect spot to start your morning or take a peaceful afternoon break.
What really makes this place special, though, is the service.

The baristas, Lala and Tina, are absolutely wonderful. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and they make every visit feel personal. It’s rare to find a spot where the people are just as bright as the California sunshine!

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. It’s easily my new favorite coffee ritual!“

“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“

“outstanding food and owners!!“

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

“Queso fundido the elites and the steak plate“

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.“

“I have never been here before but decided to stop in and check it out while the gentleman that I'm a caretaker for was over at Milton's having lunch with his friends. I decided to have a cheat day on my diet and have this burger and... OMG 🔥🔥🔥.
So fricking worth it. I will definitely be back again.“

“Love this place. Specially the really friendly staff.
I haven’t had coffee anywhere else since I discovered Bird rock. Friendly staff makes the experience even much better. They need to be rewarded for their smile and friendliness.“

“Great atmosphere and super service“

“It is a beautiful location with amazing food and service 🤗👏“

“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.“

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

“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!!!❤️“

“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!“

“It is a beautiful location with amazing food and service 🤗👏“

“A great restaurant with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. Branzino was excellent and the spumoni gelato was delicious. Definitely, we will be back.“
