50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Monterey

“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.“

“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.“

“Lovely bakery near the historic of Monterey, Parker-Lusseau is savored by many visitors and locals alike.

It is always busy and has limited space inside and only outdoor seating so I seldom make it in but one of my coffee club members loves it so when the boys were elsewhere early in the morning I pooped in for a cappuccino.

Friendly and efficient, the team was working hard to get thing into the cases and serve the line already there.

They were great to greatw, which previously had not been my experience, and set my expectations, and nicely directed me to where I could wait for the drink where I chatted with a visitor.

The pasteries and cakes are known to be amoung the best in the local area.

They serve Acme and my cappuccino came with a beautiful foam.

Worth a visit if you've never been.“

“My best friend and I came here to watch the World Cup and we showed up at 4pm because the game was at 5pm. We thought we were early but we were not! The bar seats were full and the seats by the TV were also full. We added our names to the waitlist just in case but the employee did tell us that the seats we would be assigned aren't near the TVs. The seats by the bar and behind the bar are free for grabs so thankfully we were able to sit down to watch the game! The food was delicious, and our server came and checked in on us multiple times. The servers have great attitudes and they treat the customers very well and considerately. If you are in Monterey during game seasons, please come visit here for an amazing experience!“

“This place was so good!! The service was quick, friendly, and excellent. The food was all DELICIOUS.

We ordered the firecracker roll, the Frankenstein roll, the green goblin roll, the ume shiso roll, and the pickled daikon roll. Everything was so good!! Usually when I go to sushi places some rolls are better than others, but everything we ordered was hit after hit. They served the rolls on a boat, too, which was such a fun surprise and my grandparents really enjoyed it! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area — the rolls are very creative and different from other sushi places I’ve tried.

My brother had the udon, which was filling and delicious as well.

For dessert we got the tempura banana with green tea ice cream, and green tea ice cream. The tempura banana was so delicious, the green tea ice cream was not too sweet and balanced out the richness of the fried banana very well. I enjoyed it more than I expected to!“

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

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

“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!“

“Had a fantastic experience at Lighthouse Bistro Global Cuisine! One of the things that stood out to us was that they offer halal lamb and chicken options. We ordered the Pomegranate Chicken and an off-the-menu lamb kabob, and both dishes were outstanding.
The chicken was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, while the lamb kabob was perfectly cooked and incredibly delicious. The seasoned vegetables were done just right, and the rice was cooked to perfection, making the entire meal feel balanced and satisfying.
The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and parking was easy and convenient right outside the restaurant.
If you're looking for flavorful halal-friendly options and great hospitality, I highly recommend Lighthouse Bistro Global Cuisine. We'll definitely be back!“

“We love Cafe Fina and always try to dine there when in Monterey. Great food, cocktails and good wine selection. We recently had our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal luncheon there and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, amazing food and drinks. We highly recommend this fine restaurant while visiting Monterey. Cozy, warm and friendly staff too!“

“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!“

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

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

“Delicious food! impeccable service!!!“

“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 😊“

“Awesomeness overload great pies“

“We were visiting from out of town and the bartender Mike was super friendly and chatted with us as if we were regulars. He is also clearly passionate about beers and basically gave us a tasting lesson to help us decide which beer we wanted for a full pour. Even after picking our beers, he had us try more. It was a great experience, and we even decided to get some to take home.“

“I went there for lunch and I learned by surprise that the tavern has been there for almost 40 years! I always trust long-lasting business because they don’t survive for no reason!
I like their old-school burger. They have sesames on the buns which is very nostalgic for me. The server was very attentive and patient even though my English was not great.
I also watched the World Cup there. They have great TV and I really like how the server was watching together with us. Great atmosphere.“

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

“THIS is the ice cream shop we've needed! So yummy & the Concho sandwich, my favorite! such a cute vibe & always friendly staff 💕 😍“

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

“Went to Moulin a few nights ago to celebrate our friends birthday. What an exceptional experience. We have more or less given up on dining out regularly as the expense doesn’t match the amount of times we are let down by mediocre food and/or service. Absolutely not the case here. The food, service and ambiance were exceptional. I had the best duck confit I’ve had in a long time. All of us were wowed by our selections. Very highly recommend Bistro Moulin for a great night out.“

“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.“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency.

Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

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

“Good one to visit and have evening snack with a cup of coffee. Sweet and coffee make good combination altogether. Favourite is pistachio triangle baklava . Halva was okay, not a fan of, little chewy . Thats how it supposed to be. Staff is really nice, offered my daughter sample.“

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

“Amazing staff, bomb pizza, best place in Monterey for a wood fire pizza. Madison and her team go above and beyond. The owner runs a top tier restaurant and puts a lot of love into his food, the vibes, and level of service from the heart. Ian is the man!“

“Phenomenal Halal Food
International Cafe is an absolute gem. The menu has an incredible variety of options, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for a casual lunch, catching up with friends. Highly recommend Combo plate“

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

“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.“

“Such a cool place, we came in and had a flight with a cheese board, which really hit the spot. We were impressed with the variety of flavors and interesting wine combinations, plus we thought it was great to be trying local wines. Totally recommend this place for a fun little outing downtown!“

“We were visiting on a golf trip and stopped in here for dinner. Absolutely excellent food with outstanding customer service! Thank you for making our first meal on our trip a fantastic one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“The food was delicious. All fresh and yummy. Also, the service was superb. One piece of many skewers was undercooked slightly. The employee replaced it with 4 additional skewers right away and apologized sincerely.
Very good place!!“

“I love this place... simply the best!“

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Urban Kitchen for our wedding, and I truly cannot say enough good things about Rene and his team. From the very beginning, Rene was always available. No matter how many questions we had or when we called he answered the phone and made us feel like family. Rene’s communication and reliability meant everything to us.

What stood out most was how genuinely excited he was for our marriage and wedding day. It never felt like “just another event” from him. We could feel that he truly cared and wanted everything to be special for us.

The food was wonderful. The service was smooth and the entire experience helped take so much stress off our shoulders. We are incredibly grateful we chose Urban Kitchen for such an important day.

Thank you, Rene, for being a part of our story and helping make our wedding day memorable.
Victor and Lisa Marks“

“Great Wine 🍷 and people..🍾🥂“

“We were hungry for something other than seafood. The Big Sur looked good. My wife had a burger for lunch so she had the chicken strips. The six pieces looked like a fried chicken, lightly breaded, perfectly fried. I ordered the Big Kauna; a double burger with bacon, jalapeños and two rings of grilled pineapple. We also got a side of onion rings. They were the best onion rings I’ve ever had. Period! The 4.4 rating is low. It deserves a 4.7 at least service was expedient.“

“I was in a bad mood, then came into this pub. After some food (hot crab sandwich), tea and a Margarita Pepper I felt sooo much better.

The food for the price is great. Portions are huge.

The chicken pie is enough for two or a second meal for one.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Daaaaannnnggg…those handmade tortillas! Pollo or beef tacos, you can’t go wrong.“

“Took my wife and kids here on the night they launched a brand new menu, to celebrate our anniversary, and everything was fantastic. They seated us in a nice booth, which made managing our babies a lot easier. We ordered the fries, mac and cheese, mussels, bucatini, spinach ravioli, oysters, and bread pudding. Not one thing disappointed. The food alone would bring us back, but our server Armando is the reason we'll be telling everyone we know about this place. He was kind, attentive, and made our whole family feel genuinely welcome. If you want a mixed drink, tell him what you like and see what he comes up with. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.“
