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.“

“Superb friendly staff! And the cakes are delicious! We got passion fruit cake and pistachio - raspberry cake. They are beautiful, delicate, and sophisticated! I love their small pastries like financier as well. The croissant and puffed pastries are a bit too dry for me. Still it is better beyond average puffed pastries. Definitely want to try other items!“

“Amazing finding of this brewery.! We just loved the food and drinks, simple amazing and worth for its price.

Parking is little difficult as it’s in the prime area. But inside the brewery it’s simple fabulous 👍 much recommended one for brewery lovers“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Everything was so perfectly presented and cooked! The hospitality Maurizio and staff provide is second to none 🤌🏼.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Went to check out the Packers game and was not disappointed.

Service was great and I had a solid burger. Sweet potato fries were super tasty!

Ranch was legit (ranch is very important to me 😆) as were the pickles.

We had some more of the game to watch so I opted to try their cheesecake. FIRE. I might go back just for the cheesecake! No joke.

Great neighborhood bar, thank you guys!!“

“Very nice village style coffee Tea & Pastries“

“Solid vegan sushi roll options - all veg based (no “fake fish” creations) but very good. The mushroom roll in particular was excellent. Good spot if you need vegan food in a pinch (we were traveling) but not a super filling option. #Veganuary“

“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!“

“Great juice and amazing service! Thanks for being so great, Alex!!!“

“Lots of fun, interesting and unique decor fitting the theme. Service was attentive and articulate, and waters were refilled, but soup wasn't delivered until after the entree. Sadly, the "icelandic cod" in "beer batter" was a sad and rather tasteless and tough piece of fish (maybe it was cod, maybe not) that was in fact served in panko type breadcrumbs, not a "batter" at all. This is "breaded" fish in British terms. And the chips were oven chips, not fried. As Brits excited to be in a town that seems to have about 4 restaurants serving fish and chips, we were disappointed in this offering and next time we go to Monterey we will try one of the other places.“

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

“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!“

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

“Great place to make a stop for a cold beverage. Always have a nice Sour for me to enjoy.“

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“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.“

“Super good wings, burgers and sandwiches! The service was awesome, super quick and really attentive. The vibe of the place was relaxed and the decorations/history was interesting. Slightly pricey for a burger but it was super good and i’d get it again. I’d recommend the blackened chicken sandwich the most!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“Very nice and friendly place to have a dinner date.“

“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“

“The food was great, and I was service by the service. The first in the fast casual dining restaurant that I had to order over the counter and the server is go above and beyond checking up on the table and he was really nice (the receipt said his name is Allister.. not sure if thats accurate but whoever that is deserve a compliment :))“

“great service friendly works and great tasting food.“

“I brought out-of-town guests to Abalonetti's. They were impressed with both the menu and the food they ordered. One guest said the lobster ravioli was the best she's ever had. I'd agree--I had it too. Service was fast and not at all intrusive. We loved the pidgeons that occasionally walked through. I'll keep bringing visitors here!“

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

“The food here was very good! My buddy and I were on a trip and it was so good that we ate here two days in a row. Everything tasted very fresh and the portions were big but not too much. The atmosphere is casual but very nice and clean. The staff were friendly albeit a bit forgetful. Our waiter forgot to bring us an extra plate both days… also, the price is a little expensive, but for Northern California it wasn’t egregious. I’d certainly recommend this restaurant and would be excited to come back again.“

“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!“

“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“
