50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Topanga

“WoW , the food , the view, Supernice Crew . Worth everything ! We come back . / Swedish Guests“

“Endless Color in Topanga is honestly one of my favorite restaurants in all of LA. From the second you walk in, the atmosphere hits you in the best way possible. The vinyl records, the beer boards, the old wooden telephone, the lighting, the energy — everything about the place feels unique, warm, and full of character. It’s the kind of spot that instantly becomes memorable.

And then there’s the food… absolutely unreal. The pizzas are consistently incredible, with dough and flavors that are always perfectly on point. The burger is next level, the chicken sandwich is straight fire, and even the salads and desserts are ridiculously good. You can tell every dish is made with real care and quality ingredients.

What makes it even better are the people behind it. I had the chance to meet Jaime the cook and Matthew the owner, and they’re genuinely amazing people. Endless Color has given me so many great meals, drinks, and memories. If I could give this place 6 stars, I absolutely would.“

“Bright refreshing cool drinks“

“I’m so happy Froggy’s reopened - it’s always been my favorite patio in LA! I love all the hummingbirds and looking at nature - I feel I’m far away from the City/Valley - it’s so relaxing! The salmon tacos are awesome and freshly made guacamole doesn’t disappoint 👍🏻 The tortillas are lovingly made by hand and are fresh. One of the most soulful places in Los Angeles- great little bar and historic background. DONT go as I love the cozy authentic vibe - just kidding - I highly recommend this restaurant It would make a great venue for special occasions (this is unsolicited - I just can’t rave enough and want them to flourish- Covid was tough on them like many businesses) Lastly, everyone working there are so friendly and accommodating 5 stars ⭐️😄“

“Great 🌮 in a beautiful setting!“

“We got married at the Inn of the Seventh Ray on October 10, 2026, and we could not have picked a better place. Of all the compliments we heard that night, the most frequent one (after how great the bride looked) was simply what an incredible venue it was.

The setting does a lot of the work for you. Tucked into Topanga Canyon under the trees, with the creek and the fountain and the lights coming on as the sun goes down, it feels like a different world twenty minutes from the city. We held a traditional Hindu ceremony under a mandap, followed by cocktails, dinner, and a dance party, and the grounds handled every one of those transitions beautifully. Our guests kept wandering off to explore and coming back with the same look on their faces.

The team is the other half of the story. Jared, the venue manager, was straightforward and responsive through contracting and billing, and the group tasting gave us a real sense of the food well ahead of time. The dinner itself was excellent, with the sea bass a particular standout, and the bar kept the drinks flowing all night. The bride's signature cocktail, a recipe the bar came up with, was a huge hit. But the real standout was Krystal, the in-house wedding coordinator. She ran our planning meetings, answered a hundred questions over six months, handled some creative layout challenges for the mandap, and on the day itself she was the calm center of everything. Point person, problem solver, and occasionally talk therapist. If something went wrong that night, we never found out about it.

We planned this wedding ourselves with no outside planner, and the Inn made that possible. Five stars without hesitation.“

“I met my friend for breakfast yesterday morning at 8:30 am. Since it was so early, we were able to grab a four-top table on their patio, just outside of the open-air, stylishly beachy restaurant.

We both ordered coffees, a latte and an Americano. She had the overnight oats bowl, which looked delicious and filing, and I had the avocado toast on sourdough. So fresh and good!

The staff were very nice and friendly, and this is a great, laidback place to have breakfast.

There is a large parking lot in front of the restaurant; paid parking only.

I will come back and bring my boyfriend! Great location across the street from Venice Beach, too.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“Just really tasty vegetarian entrees. Samoas are a hit and the naan is so delicious and soft and warm. Today they gave me a hot chai tea. Very thoughtful. Cold and raining ☔️ and it was hot and delicious 🫖“

“Always a great experience and meal at Orto, strongly recommended!“

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“Loved the cozy environment especially in the patio area . Food was great! The potato cakes with apples was amazing . Our group of 9 loved all of the food ! Would recommend to others“

“I go to Jyan either once a week or every other week. I will never buy store bread again. Their pastries are delicious, their bagels are far superior than a certain neighbor’s, and the coffee is great. I also buy their granola to top on my chia seed pudding. 12/10. A true bakery gem.“

“la comida esta muy buena“

“Great food and service. This place never disappoints.“

“I have been going to Porto's since the 1980's..the one in Glendale. How elated I was with having them being in Northridge where I live. The food is terrific and the lines go fast due to a tremendous quick system they have. The catering for parties has never let us down and people you have invited that never have experienced Portos are thrilled. The cakes are delicious. What I do miss is not having the individual cake slices for purchase so you can experience the taste. They only have the neapolitan, Parisian, and carrot for slices. I've seen the menu change over time and do miss some of the items.“

“This cafe and Juice bar STOLE our hearts! A MUST when in San Diego and La Jolla. I mean, WOOOOWWW! We were able to sneak in a quick breakfast before our whale tour at the Little Italy location, and thank goodness we did! My only regret is not visiting every single day for their exceptional breakfast and high-quality juices! I ordered the All I Avo Wanted - Blue corn, waffle, smashed avocado, feta, shaved radish, over easy egg, chili flakes, hemp seeds, salsa macha. I mean, holy moly. The delivery was beautifully executed and built perfectly. The blue corn waffle was moist yet firm. My mother ordered the Shakshuka - another favorite dish of mine that WOWed. You can not go wrong with Parakeet. Thank you to the divine chefs and baristas - you made Parakeet the most beloved restaurant during our time in California!!!“

“Almost too hip of an atmosphere. Looks futuristic and like a hipster puked all over it but it’s still cute. I miss the old schnackenbergs! This place looks odd in old cute charming uptown Hoboken. It’s very Portland-esque. Good salad tho.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“Absolutely brilliant place. Fantastic staff (Katy) who is lovely. Brilliant atmosphere and well worth visiting for a drink when in Venice“

“They are by far the best steak I have ever had. We went there on a whim and they were booked but found a cute table for us by the fire. It was the most memorable meal with my husband. We are eternally grateful for the experience and service we received.“

“We had a very nice dinner here inside on a Tuesday night. I loved the whiskey cocktail which is brought smoking to your table. We shared the cheese plate and gen ceasar and the servings are quite large and perfect for sharing. The BBQ scottish salmon is a real standout and the fries and blistered spinach great sides. They also have a very nice selection of wines by the glass. The staff is very attentive and we enjoyed the night thoroughly.“

“Kappo Miyabi is a hidden gem. I work at a nearby hotel and I'm always happy to recommend this restaurant to our guests for an authentic Japanese meal. The menu has a great selection and the fish is super fresh. If you are looking for a lowkey, neighborhood feel and want to support a mom and pop that really cares, you should definitely check this place out.“

“What a hidden gem in Santa Monica! The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. They serve some of the most authentic Korean and Japanese dishes I’ve had in the area. The staff were incredibly friendly, and everything was spotless. I came with my husband and our 4-year-old, and we all had a wonderful experience. 💕 The Calamari Fries were definitely the highlight for me. Highly recommend!“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant! 🥰“

“Love Taverna Tony! Great food and location. ❤️“

“I have had many souffle in my life , I personally travel around the world trying the best of the best souffle . This far is the best I have ever had !“

“A small spot right on Venice Beach with about 20 seats—all outdoors, but they have heat lamps, so it’s pretty cozy. Prices are fair for the area at around $ 16 a plate. We showed up at 7 PM, just 30 minutes before closing, but still found a table easily and got served super quickly. The staff was really friendly! As for the pasta, it was okay, but a bit plain and nothing to write home about. Overall, a convenient and affordable option near the beach.“

“Country Kitchen is a great spot for a delicious and satisfying meal in Malibu. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The relaxed atmosphere made it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Overall, a wonderful dining experience and definitely worth visiting!“

“Favorite pizza spot on PCH 🙌“

“We were visiting from Pennsylvania and found this place. The food was absolutely incredible. Ingredients were all fresh and delicious. For such a small staff it definitely felt as though I was dining at a family member’s home. Every ingredient seemed like it was chosen with great attention. If I lived here I’d be back time and again.“

“Good fare at a fair price...“

“Best steak and service . Say hi to Hillary she is the best !!!“

“I came in for the cacio e pepe pizza because I saw it on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." Fan-freaking-tastic! I'll definitely be back and might just have to eat 2 of them!“

“La atencion la comida , el deporte todo muy bueno“

“I had the scallops & the chocolate cake and it was great, the staff were all amazing from the host to the runners/busters with specific credit to Kitty & Anita for helping me and guiding me in the right direction. I definitely recommend you come by if you’re in the area!“

“Goat Cheese and Black Olives ice cream was delicious. The service was exceptional and the customer service provided by EVERY SINGLE ONE of their ice cream parlor workers was outstanding. You wont go wrong visiting the Abbot Kinney location.“

“I was visiting family I haven’t seen for awhile and wanted to eat Jerry’s deli what was my surprise urban plates took over I looked at the menu and decided to try it big portions, healthy , comfort food service was great specially was clean I will definitely come back soon.“

“Love this place, staff is friendly and owners too. coffee is great and I'm very picky about coffee! free Wi-Fi is nice too!“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“Alex and Jordan make the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bread is baked fresh each morning, and they know how to pair ingredients together to just make them delicious. The sides are spectacular as well. Highly recommend!“

“The Menemen was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and almost as good as the one I had in Istanbul! 😊 It reminded me so much of the Bulgarian mish-mash. The oat milk latte was perfectly smooth, too. I’ll definitely be back! ☕❤“
