50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Monterey

“I loved dining by candlelight. I had the camarones al mojo de ajo and it was delicious. Oh and the palomas were amazing!“

“Our visit to Stoke's Adobe last weekend produced the best meal I've had on The Peninsula in a decade! Restauranteur, Sarah Orr, has hit one out of the park. The dishes prepared by Executive Chef, Bryce Hansen, were flawless, my favorties being the seared scallops and truffle chicken. Loved the nod to former occupant and socialite, Hattie Gragg, with the inclusion of the Hattie's Old Fashioned on the cocktail menu :) Looking forward to our next visit and an opportunity to sample other items on their ever evolving menu.“

“Can't recommend this place enough. From being greeted by the hostess to being seated. Our service was amazing and attentive. There are plenty of beer choices. As you will see in the pictures from a dark brown to a hef.
The wings are smoked with a dry rub. I can't explain the flavor except unique. The wings were huge.
The pan pizza had a baked crisped top and was combined with a pan style“

“We ordered our lemon raspberry wedding cake with buttercream frosting from Parker-Lusseau Pastries, and it was everything we dreamed of — absolutely delicious and beautifully made!
From the start, working with Anne was a wonderful experience. She was extremely responsive via email and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled. The team was so accommodating and ensured our cake would be ready and perfect for our special day, which gave us such peace of mind.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake tasted — light, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Side note: Their almond croissants are incredible — we’re obsessed. We’ve already decided to come back on our one-year anniversary to pick up a mini version of our wedding cake and relive the magic of that day.
Huge thanks to Anne and the whole Parker-Lusseau team for making our celebration so special!“

“I first visited this amazing local deli in 1989-1990. I remembered the half loaves of bread stacked high with a pile of my choice of meats and cheeses. Although I was only 18-19, Compagno’s established my standard for an amazing sandwich. 32 years later I brought my sons here for lunch. Same delicious goodness a generation later.“

“Amazing fresh food and super friendly staff. Lots of locals here which is a good sign when traveling, they know what’s around and chose this. Couldn’t have been happier! You won’t be disappointed!“

“A great way to start a rainy Sunday morning. Sharing 1 savory /1 sweet crepe with your partner in crime. Absolutely delicious.“

“Delicious food! impeccable service!!!“

“What a fabulous dinner we had last night! Highly recommend Cafe Fina! Incredible food, great service and the owner, Dominic Mercurio, is an absolute delight! We were truly honored to sit at John Madden’s special table! The house wine, Bonanza, is a Caymus product.“

“Crystal Fish is my go-to when I want good value and tasty sushi. The setting isn't overly fancy but neither are their prices.

I took a star off of service because the last to-go order had a mistaken roll. I still enjoyed it. I've also seen mistakes on the bill when I ate in-house. Nothing egregious but I now double check.

Bonus: they are on door dash, now“

“I love stopping by Alta for something to eat and a great tasting coffee!!“

“Great service and food…. The hostess served us and she rocked it. Great time. Will come back!“

“Great coffee, food and vibe. Opens at 0630 as well. The team were lovely 😊“

“Yum!!! We came for the burgers and they were delicious! We tried the Fiesta and Terikayi Mushroom burgers as well as the stuffed tater tots! So yummy all around! The burgers tasted so fresh and they were huge! It's a small place but very kind people and seems like a lot of people are regulars, don't blame them at all! Yum!“

“I’ll offer a better than expected review. Our party of five went for Sunday brunch. 1/2 wait for an outdoor table. Excellent Southwest eggs Benedict; chicken fettuccini; fruit salad and Cinnamon toast special with eggs. Chocolate Oreo cake for dessert. Excellent service for a relaxing Sunday. Glad to return and recommend. Cheers!“

“Beautiful spot, quaint and cozy, generous portions, expertly executed.“

“I eat here maybe 2 times a week. I always get the kabob wrap which is amazing!! The drinks are awesome too“

“We have been going to Heirloom Pizza a few times a year for a while now and have always enjoyed great food and good service. This was until last night. The food was still delicious and the server was good. That was the limit of a good experience. The hostess had a look that we were bothering her by wanting to eat there. We arrived about 7pm and they were busy, but it only took about 10 minutes to be seated. We ordered fairly quickly and then waited for over 50 minutes to have an appetizer to reach our table and another 25 minutes for our main dish. By the time we received our appetizer the restaurant had only 5-6 tables with people still sitting. We understand that it takes a little longer for a deep dish pizza, but well over an hour in unacceptable. In the 50 minutes we saw no less than a dozen or so orders go out the door for pickup orders. I understand they sell pizza and there is likely a large amount of business that doesn't come an stay to eat, but we felt forgotten. If we choose to go back, maybe we should order before arriving.“

“EXCELLENT beers, service, food truck food. Over 20 beers on tap, lengthy IPA list. Many different IBU & ABV values, tropical, bitter, fruity, strong, session, everything. Tasters, flights, and different size beers on tap as well as growler fills and many canned beers to go. Great near Fisherman’s Wharf by the waterfront and cheap parking. On-site Wedo’s Food truck has GREAT tacos; I had the chicken and also the fish (the BEST) and some chicken nachos = all very good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Was here a year ago! Hopefully I get to visit this cafe again soon but never too late to leave a recommendation am I right, Great customer service 10/10 everything. I strongly recommend this cafe.“

“Our first visit to Lalla Grill Del Monte and it was fabulous! The food was delicious. Our waiter Tino was friendly, professional, and on top of everything. Later we went to the bar. It was fully stocked and the bartender, Rae, was the bomb! Worth a visit if you are in the area! Highly recommend.“

“Atmosphere: 10/10 - service was amazing and food was tasty. I had the fish and chips and my partner had the burger. The cod was very flaky and cooked just right. My partners burger was delicious and bigger than we expected. We will definitely be back when we’re in town again and would recommend!“

“I've lived in the area a while now and finally found this great winery tasting room! The staff was super friendly and the wines were very good. I especially liked the Pinot Noir, I have a weakness for a good Central Coast Pinot! I also enjoyed the Grenache and Barbera. We tried a charcuterie board which paired very well with the wine, the spiced pecans were amazing. We will be back!“

“best tacos for miles! thank you for being delicious!“

“Adorable and romantic spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The entrees were quite good—especially the eggplant agnolotti and the short ribs, both perfectly prepared and full of flavor. A highlight was the special peach and arugula salad, which was fresh and beautifully balanced. For dessert, the profiteroles were outstanding—light, airy, and indulgent.Recommended for a memorable dining experience!“

“Edward really took care of us, tasty we took two home with us.“

“My wife and I have always enjoyed the great performances there at the Paper Wing Theatre. We're going again tonight and are looking forward to it.“

“Legitimately one of the best customer service experiences I've had. Our server was fantastic! She was very helpful and nice, and you could tell she genuinely liked her job and it wasn't an act.

Food was also fantastic! A little greasy, but very good! I would definitely return!“

“Delicioso 🤤 cuando lo disfrutes con las personas adecuadas para ti 🥰🥰🥰“

“Pearl Hour is one of my favorite places in town, a cozy, intimate bar with amazing cocktails, a great patio, and the occasional delicious food pop-up!“

“Great food and service. Will definitely visit again when in the area.“

“Took some friends here for a wine tasting, the woman servicing us was so informative even though we knew absolutely nothing about wine. Even taught us some tricks on smelling both ends of the glass! I wish I could get the membership since all the wines were lush“

“Urban Kitchen Hospitality was such a pleasure to work with. Rene and his team did an amazing job on a catered event for 350 people. They are professional, very customer friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Urban Kitchen Hospitality for your next event. Bree Osborne, Marketing Manager - City of Santee, CA“

“Awesome vibe, great wine and extremely welcoming. You can create your own flight...Cheers.“

“I had a late breakfast here the other day, and it was exactly what I had in mind. The food was absolutely delicious! They ensured that I had everything I needed, and my coffee mug was always full.

I’m not a picky person when it comes to interior or exterior design, or even the type of music is playing. I only care about the food and service, and they did great 5/5!“

“I’ve never heard of Puma Road wines before; I was walking with my dog and I was surprised that dogs are welcomed. The places had live music, very welcoming towards families. I simply tried one of their Pino Noirs which was ok. I decided to buy a bottle of their Tanat, which I just opened to today and it was outstanding…I definitely will purchase some more“

“Love this tasting room! Owners are the sweetest!!“

“Highly recommend this place. We started out with the Tapas (calamari and the burrata) which was so good! Then we had the paella. It takes 30min to prepare which they told us about and it was disclosed on the menu too which I appreciated. This paella was literally the best paella I ever had EVER. ! Absolutely delicious!!!!! Shareable too! I had the Spanish Margarita for my cocktail and that was delicious too. Left completely stuffed. Definitely worth it.“

“Easily the best burger spot in Monterey! With so many choices on Alvarado Street, this place stands out. Combos are great, decently priced, burgers are great, and while the fries are just okay, you won’t care once you take that first bite. Plenty of space, super clean, and friendly staff“

“This place was alright for Thai food, I got a spicy soup which was not spicy and I tasted more tomato than anything but I was really hungry and it did the job. I got it with a side of steamed rice and I give it a 4 because it could’ve been better but it was still delicious. I’d def go again but probably get something else.“

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“The best Mexican food around! Always fresh and always feels like every bite is made with love! And if your a breakfast lover like myself then the breakfast burrito is always a great choice with different meat options! Did I mention it's breakfast all day?!? Run don't walk to mando's for some authentic cooking! Don't miss them at the Beacon Film Festival may 18th at 1pm and may 19th at 5pm“
