50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Francisco

“One of my absolute favorite restaurants in SF. Visited a few times and this past one really reminded me why this place is special. The food is fantastic, but never pretentious. Maggie mentioned her favorite item was the salad which I couldn’t believe, but to be honest I think it was my favorite too. The black cod and the daikon rice cake were also insanely good. The service was exception, huge shout out to Maggie for her help with our allergies too. Highly recommend!!“

“My mom and I came here when visiting the Legion of Honor, and it's a cozy quiet shop near a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We got a bagel and a daily special - it was only $10 and it was so good! The woman serving was so nice and the service was great. Would recommend if you are looking for a straightforward lunch and coffee spot!“

“If happiness were a restaurant, I’m pretty sure it would be called *That’s My Jam*. I came in expecting a nice meal and left questioning whether I should move a small bed into the corner and live there permanently.

First of all, the food? Absolutely incredible. Every bite felt like it was made by someone who genuinely cares about flavor, the quality of food they feed to others… and possibly about my emotional well-being. If you're lucky enough to chat with the chef or his wife, do so! You can tell they really put their heart and soul into every aspect of this establishment.

The vibe is warm, cozy, and the kind of place where you instantly relax. The staff were so friendly that by the end of the meal I felt like we were all part of a very delicious support group.

Final verdict: come hungry, bring friends, and prepare to fall in love with your meal. If you hear someone at the next table whispering “wow” between bites… that’s probably me again.

The only issue I have now is I doubt any other resturant will be able to provide my taste buds with the same magical expereince. I live in SJ but 10/10 would happily get jammed here anytime. 🍓✨

“Cute and cozy restaurant serving up unique pizettas. We had the funghi pizza which was loaded with mushrooms and greens. We also had a lamb pizza that was almost like an open-faced gyro. The ricotta cake dessert was heavenly. Such a delicious meal and great service!“

“Sublime French cuisine in an awesome location. Great “secret” spot in SF.“

“It's a restaurant with very delicious food. It's not all anchovies although we love anchovies. There's a very interesting mix of cuisine styles including vegetarian, poultry and fish.

“fantastic little restaurant - excellent wine list and great beef bourgogne“

“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.“

“Great costumer service. 👌“

“🌟 NOPA San Francisco: A Bucket List Culinary Triumph! 🌟 Review by: The Bucket List Coach Webshow. I recently had the distinct pleasure of crossing a major culinary destination off my bucket list: NOPA San Francisco. My dining experience on December 12, 2025, was not just a meal; it was an absolute masterclass in hospitality and farm-to-table excellence. Exceptional Service: A Shoutout to Zach! From the moment we sat down, the experience was elevated by our server, Zach. He truly went above and beyond, anticipating needs and offering spot-on recommendations, making the dining experience feel incredibly special and seamless. A massive shoutout to Zach, as well as the entire Culinary team, Management team, and staff—the level of coordination and passion was palpable. Appetizers and Beverages: Instant Classics The meal kicked off with the Date and Pear appetizer, which was absolutely fantastic—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and texture. And for the beer lovers out there, you must try the Honey Beer 🍺. I'm officially adding this to my personal "Beer Bucket List!" I will absolutely be recommending it to all my followers on my podcast and through my travel agency. Thanks to Woods Beer and Wine Company! The Entrée: Perfection on a Plate For the main course, I opted for the Duck, and it was cooked to perfection. Seriously, melt in the mouth- tender meat was phenomenal. The plate presentation was stunning, far exceeding my expectations—it was a true work of art. The side of Grapefruit and Vinaigrette Salad was the perfect accompaniment. It was one of the best salads I have ever had in San Francisco; the brightness of the grapefruit cut through the richness of the duck beautifully. Desserts: Celebrating National Cocoa Day! To celebrate National Cocoa Day Dec. 13th-I couldn't resist. I highly suggest partaking in the Hot Chocolate for a decadent dessert item—it was rich, velvety, and a perfect holiday treat. And if you still have room, the Cheesecake with Brown Sugar is another truly fantastic dessert that offers a wonderful, comforting finish to the meal. NOPA is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. The ambiance, the incredible staff like Zach, and the impeccable, thoughtful food quality solidify NOPA as a must-visit spot in San Francisco. It earns its place on any serious foodie's bucket list Cindy Lee Podcast Host at Bucket List Coach Web Show & Founder of Bucket List Coach Travel Tours“

“Best dining experience I’ve had since I moved here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant 💚💚💚“

“I’ve been to restaurants all over the world and this is up there in the top for seafood. We tried just about everything on the menu.

The Ciopinno with garlic bread is an absolute dream. Save the sauce from the clams for more dipping. Order several oysters for palate cleansers between dishes because they’re RICH. When they ask if you want the bib, proudly say yes.

Keep it (un?)healthy with the delicious artichoke. You know it’s done well when you can scrape the entire leaf, not just the tip. Don’t sleep on the chowder. And by god please get the ceasar with crab meat. Save up and spend it. Don’t skimp. The wait means you won’t be back a lot so double dip, sip and be happy.

A few notes. Get there very early and still expect a wait. I hate waits but this one is worth it. Their wine is not to die for, especially for the quality of food. The wine store across the street is phenomenal so buy wine there and pay the corkage fee - you’ll thank me later. Also, join their wine club if you’re in the city to take advantage of the best back patio in town.“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“tasting menu was amazing. service was top notch.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“味道很不错值得尝试一下！😁😁😁“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“Ginny and Rosa provided high quality service, keeping it easy-going while remaining professional.

We didn’t know what pandan milk was, and were offered a free small shot to try.
The drinks were beautifully presented and tasty.

The music was relaxing

We were even given a free sample of typical instant indonesian noodles, and explained how to prepare them!

Undoubtfully, we are coming back whenever in SF!

Thank you so much Rosa and Ginny 😄“

“It took me a while to try this restaurant since we have many good options on Potrero Hill but finally I did and now love it and return regularly. The flavors are unique, the food is fresh, the staff is kind and the coffee good. I like to try different dishes and I've enjoyed: Roasted Cauliflower Bowl, Pesto Eggs Benedict, French Toast, Vegetarian Scramble. My husband is a fan of the wagyu skewers. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent food and excellent, friendly staff. Thank you.“

“The best pasta and sauces in San Francisco. Authentic Italian cuisine! Highly recommend. Father and son team are amazingly warm hosts!“

“this is the best lobster roll i’ve ever had in my entire life. such meaty and buttery pieces. got the truffle butter and it was so amazing. please open one of these in toronto i am begging you i will eat there every day! the staff was so kind and cool. i don’t like the chairs but otherwise everything was perfect!“

“I’m here for business from Canada. Was taken here for supper by a coworker. The quaintest little restaurant, the owner and his wife are just awesome. The food is gorgeous! And his limoncello is the best I’ve ever had. Will be going back before I head home. ❤️❤️❤️“

“The food is absolutely stunning. Everything is fresh and the flavors mix amazingly“

“Great night at Casements during SF Carnaval’s Fat Tuesday Season Kickoff! Free live music, fantastic vibes, friendly staff and Pliny the Younger on tap. Our Finnish friend (a serious beer lover) called it the “holy grail of beers” and has been dreaming of trying it his whole life.“
