50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Los Angeles

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!“

“Amazing dinner! There were six of us, we ordered a Pitata to share, two appetizers, two sides, and four regular sized entrees for sharing.

It was the perfect amount for us all. Could have eaten more, just because it was outstanding...but for portion control, we did well.“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“Amazing journey of flavors!“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“Now this restaurant… fireeeeee. The atmosphere at night is my favorite! The food was delicious I couldn’t get enough of the spicy tuna rice cakes. The aguachiles are FIREEEE it’s the right amount of spicy. The margaritas pair well with their dishes. I look forward to trying their lunch menu! I will be back.“

“Everything about the dining experience was exceptional!

Ambiance - The best outdoor seating on the street. They constructed some type of canopy, so that you were fully outside, yet covered.

Service. — Very friendly and prompt. The hostess took our reservation, gave an accurate wait time estimate…and maintained friendly eye contact as we waited. And our server was quite friendly and helpful.

Food — That is the main reason this restaurant gets a rare 5-star personal rating. The three of us chose from a wide array of dishes. EACH was so delicious that we were compelled to share with the others. Adult daughter ordered the Salmon pizza, amd raved. Wife got the Fish Tacos, and the Brussels Sprouts. Loved them. I ordered their Tremendous Burger. This had to be the first time in over a decade that a burger’s picture and description were compelling enough for me to order them at a sit down restaurant. I actually forgot how good an Ole’ Fashioned cheeseburger could taste.

There are clearly many restaurant choices in L.A. If you are in the Larchmont area, definitely try Great White!

Dietary restrictions: The server was very careful to ask if there were any allergies.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Our waitress was so helpful, friendly, intuitive and just cool! The food was too good.. like... “need to eat and chill here more so we can try everything” kind of good. The atmosphere was ROMANTIC. Like, modern yet timeless romantic. I felt like I was in a French dream. Best date night place in LA. For sure.“

“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.“

“Atmosphere was great! Service was fabulous. Drinks were tasty! Margarita Pizza lacked cheese but the Sweet Cheeks was amazing 🤩.“

“This was hands down, the best surf and turf I have had in a very long time. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff was amazing. Try them out!“

“When I tell you this place is incredible… on every point! Food amazing, atmosphere is such a vibe, service and staff are so welcoming and accommodating and QUICK!

We ordered the following for 3 people and were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers:

- chips and trio of salsa: I am still mind blown about the variety of salsas, the flavor complexity, the range of spice and ingredients in each. 10/10

- squash blossoms (forgot to take picture): so delightful, stuffed with a cheese mixture and the perfect consistency and crunch on the fried blossom. 10/10

- 3 mole plate: loved trying the different mole options, my palate is not quite as seasoned when it comes to mole so I favored the “traditional” sweeter brown mole. Would just get this one next time (forgot what they called it) 8.7/10

- carne asada plate: an assortment of Oaxacan cheese, grilled cactus, beans, mole enchilada, and the most tender, flavorful and juicy steak. Just wow 10/10

Churros: omg…. Just omg. Melt in your mouth churros, most DELECTABLE Mexican dark chocolate to dip them in… I dream about these 10/10

This is now our go-to Mexican spot. Such an elevated take on our traditional Mexican food outings. Prices were very fair especially for the quality and ambiance of this places picking up a to-go order as we speak.

It’s worth noting that we went with our friend who was born in Mexico City and has had the best of the best Oaxacan food and she was floored by this place!“

“Best food ever. Best staff ever. My daughter suffered a medical emergency at the WeHo location. The manager and staff were beyond kid and helpful. Not that I recommend having a seizure at a restaurant, but Pizzana handled it beautifully. I do love their food. Authentic, fresh and delicious. Their gluten free pizza is the best in town.♥️“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Fantastic meal here! The menu can be a little complicated to fully appreciate, but the staff offered great recommendations. Flavors are excellent, with just the right blend of Latin and South Asian flavors intermixed to create delicious foods.

While we only got to enjoy lunch here, we're excited to come back for some of the creative brunch options and delicious sounding apps/small plates. Definitely come try it when you get a chance.“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“The creamy pasta is my favorite.“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“I looooooove this place so much. They play the absolute grooviest music/best DJ (please add a dance floor 😭🙏🏾) and amazing service!! Great vibes all around. Great to stop at for a drink and vibe.

Such a sweet corner gem, great place to stop by on a Saturday night.“

“I've always seen a line in front of this place but at 9:30 am on a weekday we were able to get seated immediately. We had the key lime pie and the onion omelette sandwich and the chorizo omelette sandwich.

The egg sandwiches were almost crispy on the outside and running and silky on the inside if you prefer your eggs cooked that way. The key lime pie had a bold lemony flavor and everything was well presented and appetizing looking. One of the egg sandwiches was presented wet which was a little disappointing.

The atmosphere is great and it's the kind of place you can take folks to for breakfast for the vibes“

“Great atmosphere and wine list. However many of the dishes were a bit over rich/ light on flavor. And look, I know, don’t go to a fancy wine bar expecting value, but the price of many of the simple dishes (salads, simple pastas without meat) were above normal even for LA. Service was friendly but slow“

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

Vegetarian options: Delicious!

Dietary restrictions: We didn't have a lot of them, but they did create delicious vegetarian meals for the guests who needed it.“

“I went in this morning and saw someone getting a lox and CC bagel so I asked for the same thing. Also grabbed an orange ginger what ever juice. Let me tell you… this has to be some of the best lox in all of LA and the juice was top 2 in LA…. And it wasn’t #2…“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“I’m an east coast pizza snob, and this place nails it! I love both their Detroit style and round pizza. I typically go for plain cheese for my pizza fix, but the good green and hot jimmy are incredible. Also highly recommend the meatballs!“

“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡“

“Need to come to this small food joint inside the liquor place! They have seating outside the place, which is perfect!

I got their Dirty Baby sandwich with avocado! Cost 2 dollars more to add avocado, btw.
Rating: 9/10!!!
Really greasy, be warned, but worth it for sure!

My brother ordered their Jeff's Special Sandwich.
He rated it a 7/10, but I rate it 8.5/10!
For me, it was delicious! But personally, I prefer their Dirty Baby sandwich ❤️‍🔥

If I happen to be in the area again, I will certainly return. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. I eagerly anticipate my next visit 😊“

“1st time here and man was it awesome. The food was good, I don’t know what kind of pickles they use, but they are delicious. The people were wonderful. It’s a small place, which is what I love, Not a fan of crowds. I am so glad my partner and I came across this place. That PASTRAMI!!!!, my god was it delicious.“

“Stealing a phrase from their menu here, but Belle’s bagels is the epitome of “Newish & Jewish” deli classics. Their bagels on their own (judged by eating them without any CC or toppings) are wonderful and I much prefer them over the bagels from Courage, Layla, and Jyan Isaac. They have all the usual suspects (poppy, plain, onion, everything, sesame, salt) and what I’ll call a zeitgeist spin on a typical Asiago bagel: the cacio e pepe. I ordered an assortment of bagels to-go but also had an egg & cheese on the cacio e pepe at the bar counter. It was unbelievably good and such a unique flavor - the crushed peppercorns were the perfect touch. The bagel was perfectly chewy and soft, which paired so well with the velvety eggs and oozing melted cheese. Sitting at the counter felt like I was being served little slice of Jewish deli nostalgia. I also tried one of the black and white cookies to-go and was pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t found a black and white cookie I liked in LA for years until now. If you ever miss New York or the hustle and bustle of a deli with charm and character, make your way to Belle’s.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“great atmosphere and welcoming“

“Great food, service and beautiful restaurant“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“The meat quality here was absolutely outstanding, and the service was impressively fast. Every staff member we encountered was kind and professional, but I have to give special recognition to Royce, who took care of our table. He grilled the meat to absolute perfection and made our experience even more enjoyable with his thoughtful and friendly conversations.

If you plan to visit, I highly recommend asking for a table in Royce’s section—you won’t be disappointed. His explanations and recommendations were by far the best I’ve experienced in any restaurant during my time living in the U.S.

For full transparency, we have no personal connection to him. We simply walked in on Mother’s Day without any expectations and left completely satisfied thanks to the exceptional service.

All the meats, including the tripe, were incredibly fresh—definitely not frozen—and grilled to perfection. We had such a wonderful experience here and will gladly return.“

“Beautiful bar. Modern with a home feel. The ambiance is very chill. Large and wide open window on one side gives you a good view of Sunset Blvd. opposite is the patio that has the food. You can order via a QR code and get a text when your food is ready. Drink menu is great! Bartenders are friendly.“

“Guerrilla Cafecito is a great breakfast burrito joint & coffee house from the team behind Guerrilla Taco. The GTLA (steak & papas) breakfast burrito is the best in the city. Tortillas from Mejorado, so you already know. My only complaint… a little stingy on the salsa. But it’s 2024, so bidenomics and whatnot. I get it. But don’t let that stop you. The burritos here are out of this world.“

“Awesome food, barteners, USC Sponsored, UFC Fight Nights.“

“I absolutely loved having dinner with my fiance here. This was our second time here. Service was excellent; attentive & charismatic. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful & fresh. That chicken parm was crunchy & juicy - fried to perfection - with the most tangy & forward thinking marinara sauce on top. I left feeling completely satisfied & happy we spent our money.“
