50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Laguna Beach

“Very well managed and great food.“

“We've been coming to The Wine Gallery for a couple years. I have never had a bad meal. The fig bruschetta, meatballs and arugula salad for starters. The seasonal gnocchi is AMAZING! The staff and servers are exceptional. And you must order from the outstanding selection of wine. We often travel to Italy so having an experience like this so close to home makes us thankful. Cheers to the chef!“

“I have been here to visit Shark Bay for many years.The service is always fast, this is my favorite Acai berry shop.“

“Had a great meal and wine with friends. We did have to ask for olive oil and vinegar after they brought us the wonderful rosemary bread, but hey, no biggie. Otherwise, service was great!!“

“Very good modern Vietnamese food at reasonable prices just across the street from the beach.“

“This place is fantastic! I had their Chicken Tortilla Soup and it had so many layers of flavor. The staff are so courteous and attentive. Love the customer service and the food is delicious. Their medium spice salsa is fresh, you can taste the hint of lime and it is so flavorful. I am bookmarking this place and bringing back friends.“

“I use to go to RH with my family in the 70's. Atmosphere always transported us to Hawaii. They were famous for BB ribs, drinks, unique salad (with mayo dressing) and even served a bowl of crudite' with celery, salami, etc. every meal. I didn't like the modern re model, however, NOW THIS RE BUILD iS so cool! Just like the 1970's but better!! Dim lit and Hawaiian music set the mood. I was really anxious to try the ribs again. The service was GREAT appetizer excellent but, ribs, BAD! They were not edible. Hard and chewy, like beef jerky. I was so disappointed and all of our party ordered and received the same. I may try again but won't order ribs!!!“

“🔥 Must-Visit Cozy Sushi Spot

Loved the cozy atmosphere—perfect for a chilly night! The sushi is top-notch with generous, thick cuts of fresh, soft fish. Service was lightning fast; hot dishes (like the delicious sizzling black cod) arrived with the sushi. The only slight miss was the A5 Wagyu, which was chewy despite its great umami seasoning. Overall: Excellent food, great service, and highly recommended!“

“we are visiting and just happened upon this little spot for a quick lunch. the service is top notch and the burgers are amazing!“

“My husband and I are visiting from out of town staying super close by. We saw this place on instagram and decided to try it and stay for trivia nite on Tuesday. We had so much fun and the sandwich was top tier!!! The manager was so personable as well!!! We came in last and we still got a prize. I was not expecting that. It really made my night. We left and are planning to go again today for another tasty sandwich. Cannot wait!!! They’re doing it right at wigz!!! Don’t sleep on this place! Back patio was so cute and comfy with a full bar. They offer a veterans discount as well“

“Each dish is spectacular. Love the calamari ….can be an appetizer to share or eat on your own with a salad. 230:Forest Avenue never disappoints!!!“

“Great Italian Ice cream, good service and fun place for all ages!“

“Great food/drink. Nice patio.“

“Love this place! The owners are wonderful people. Every time I go I feel like I’m family. The wines are amazing (try the Olsen’s Ovation), and they are huge supporters of the live music community. Please support this incredible local business ❤️“

“We discovered this place when visiting Laguna in February…. So glad we did! Love the owners and what they represent. Loved so much we purchased a monthly subscription so we can enjoy their amazing coffee all the way in Alabama!“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“Dolce Gelato is by far the BEST Gelato! Both the vegan and non-vegan options are uniquely crafted and simply scrumptious.“

“Had a craving for coffee after walking by the beach so I googled spots nearby. With so many options (never Starbucks) I saw this one had a pretty fair amount of good reviews. It’s pretty small, not a lot of seating, but you’re by the beach so not really a priority.
I took a look at the specialty menu and I have to say, nothing too crazy. I settled in the cherries and cream latte. I didn’t really taste anything special. The coffee itself wasn’t bad, just didn’t stand out“

“Delicious 🥰familiale belle vague 🌊 beach 🏝️☀️“

“A nice small café with a boutique attached. It felt to me like an original breakfast place with unique menu items.

Your order at the counter where you can also see the daily specials, and then you sit where you want.

The food actually came pretty fast.
The hot chocolate was nice - it wasn’t too thick and didn’t seem over sweet. The foam was actually nice to have!
There is an effort in presentation as you can see from the pictures.
We all liked it. I tried a bit of the swedish pancakes, it is very sweet and heavy as you can expect, but enjoyable!
The Eggs Anna were definitely original with that sauce. It was very interesting. I’m not gonna say it’s the best thing I ever had, but it was good.

It was farmers’ market, but we didn’t struggle to find a place to sit.
For parking, you need to find in the city - but, the place is not far from the main areas, so convenient. You just walk a few blocks.

Overall, a cool spot - we were not sure where to go and wanted a more local place. So, I guess we found it!“

“Delicious menu and excellent staff! I’ve visited this Rye Goods location a few times and can’t say anything negative. The coffee is fantastic—which is hard to find in this area. My favorite menu item is the “Seasonal Fruit Ricotta Toast,” always prepared to perfection. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

“Súper recomendado muy sabroso 😋 y muy amables todos 💕🙏“

“The Lumberyard located in beautiful downtown Laguna Beach is a great place to have lunch or dinner. There is a new $16 lunch menu and I decided to try the fish tacos. There was a choice between salmon or halibut for the tacos which included shredded cabbage with a pink cream sauce and a side of black bean and corn salad. I chose the halibut for my taco and it was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion of fish in each of the tacos so it could easily be split with a friend. The service was excellent. Our orders were taken within about five minutes of sitting down and the food came out quickly after we ordered. I would recommend the Lumberyard if you are visiting Laguna Beach. You will need to have reservations during the Art Festivals or when there is a play at the Playhouse.“

“Great food and awesome service! Perfect place for brunch 😋“

“My last visit was 7 years ago during a food tour where this was one of the stops. I’m happy to report that they are still as good as ever. Where can you get a carne asada burrito for under $13 these days and one that is so fresh tasting. I purposely ate it without the accompanying verde sauce. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, cabbage and avocados were fresh, and the flour tortilla was thin and stretchy which held together all that goodness.

We were enjoying it so much we didn’t get a chance to take a photo. Dine-in is quite small having only 2 outside tables so it’s best for takeaway. Just walk 3 blocks on Laguna Ave. toward the ocean, sit on one of the park benches, and enjoy. Good job guys. So nice to know you’re still going strong and serving up fresh, affordable options in this pricey beach town.“

“Excellent food and good service.“

“Stumbled upon 237 in #LagunaBeach after a serendipitous encounter with the owner, who recommended her newly opened restaurant.

What a find! I just had the best burger of my life! . This place, formerly known as Breeze & Brew, is a culinary gem. If you're in the #California area this #LaborDayWeekend, make sure to experience their incredible food. Highly recommended for any food enthusiast!"

Burger 10/10 would recommend! ❤️

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for any food issues.“

“We stumbled upon this hidden gem in Laguna on our last day there. Can’t believe we missed it! After visiting Finneys in Santa Barbara, we were expecting a lot, but this place totally exceeded our expectations. It’s right off the beach, with an incredible selection of beers. The service and food were also top-notch. If you’re looking for a great spot to grab a bite or a drink, definitely check them out!“

“Muy ricas y frescas, algo diferentes de las que se comen en mi pais( Argentina) pero sabrosas, las recomiendo a todos los que visiten Laguna Beach! Aprobadas!“

“Literally a hole-in-the-wall, but with GREAT Mediterranean food. Limited seating with an ocean breeze. Pricey, but worth it!

Parking: Don't drive to this place. Make your plans to enjoy Laguna Beach on foot, parking in one of the paid garages, and walk to this place. It's worth it!“

“The food was excellent! I will definitely return.“

“This place is tasty. Very sugary sweet treats, but yummy. We ordered one bar and one soft serve type, but the soft serve is a way better base. The girls working the ice cream shop were young, but attentive. But, they had no AC in the shop which was really brutal with our hot summer. I asked one of the girls about the heat and she said the AC broke. But, you're in Laguna Beach, charging top dollar, have a busy flow of people non-stop and have ice cream and workers that need to be supported with cooler conditions. I hope the owners chopse to address the cooling conditions.“

“The Pantry is a cozy coffee shop offering a great selection of coffee, teas, and light bites. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Friendly service and quality drinks make it a local favorite.“

“My granddaughter said it was fantastic! She got 6 different flavors and wow she stated they all was delicious....“

“Had some business to handle and needed a chair, internet, and caffeine - this place made my work away from home incredibly comfortable, convenient, and delicious. The coffee was incredible, and the waves down the block made this place my favorite coffee spot in town.“

“This by far the best Poke bowl restaurant in SoCal! The food is always fresh and the staff is really polite and helpful if you want to try something new. It's always clean and has simple and mellow atmosphere. You won't find a better selection and service any where else!

Parking: Underground parking is free when they stamp your ticket. Always space to park.“

“Food was delicious and service was fast. Only outdoor seating and walk up window to order. Perfect spot to grab a bite before the pageant of the masters about 10 minute walk from there! Steak Street Tacos beans and rice were excellent. A little disappointed they had run out of the jerk chicken. We will have to go back to try it!“

“I ordered the Moulin Salad - chicken and pesto- excellent!“

“Never miss a stop at Zinc when I’m in the area. Can always find something I love to eat, no matter what I’m in the mood for.“

“When you taste them, you'll know he qualities they possess that you can't resist“

“Great food! Great vibe! Great time!“

“Can you. Not feature. Marwuetitad. Eithoutbbthem nitvan excellent. Nice. Clean. Family restaurant with excellent food bb
Uniquely refreshing and excellent.

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“We ate dinner here last night. Probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. The staff was great as well.“

“Very good dining option in Laguna Beach. The score is not perfect because we were also interested in the opening hours (it promotes that it closes at 2 AM), but it was not so, because at 10 PM they asked us to close the account, a detail that played a little against it. Anyway, the food and the waitress service was very good, the beers at a good temperature and with interesting options. The Shepherds pie should not be missed.“

“We had a wonderful dinner and experience last night at Dizz's! The service was wonderful and the food was excellent! It's such a quaint restaurant! we ate in the patio. It was like eating in your own backyard with great service! We will be back!“

“just love this hole in the wall. Its the best“
