50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Venice

“We had such a fantastic time at the Great White Cafe! The atmosphere was great, and the food was even better. My burger was absolutely tremendous - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My girlfriend loved her chocolate mousse, which was rich and decadent. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal and a great vibe!“

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

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

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

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

“I just had the best Bolognese of my life, and it deserves every bit of praise. The depth of flavor, the richness of the sauce, and the perfectly cooked pasta all came together like a little masterpiece on the plate. You can taste the freshness in every bite—nothing heavy or overdone, just true, comforting Italian cooking at its finest.

If you haven’t been to Venice Cucina yet, you’re missing out on some of the most authentic, beautifully prepared Italian food around. Everything feels fresh, handcrafted, and made with real care. I strongly encourage everyone to stop by and try it for themselves. This place is a gem, and their Bolognese alone is worth the visit.“

“As a family with a celiac, this place is a godsend. The food pairs so well with their wine selection. The owner is a Som and knows her stuff. Bummer that their bakery had to close due to the terrible economy, but they still have a small selection. The biscuits are pretty insane! A+“

“Dinner ,breakfast coffee, staff were so friendly and welcoming“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“I thoroughly enjoyed this charming, unpretentious establishment located near Venice Beach. The pasta served here is among the finest I have experienced in quite some time. The black truffle pasta, which was recommended, was truly exceptional. The owner was polite and helpful. With this spot having great pricing its a must have while your in town.🤌🏽 ps get their garlic bread you wont regret it 😋“

“The food and environment!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“Over the past year Lokal has been my absolutely favorite place in LA. If you’re a Venice/ Santa Monica or even marina del ray or Culver City local you have to start regularly coming here.

Not once have I had a bad dish or a bad guest experience. The staff is always incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food and bevvies are super consistent and have not had one miss on this menu.

Whether it’s an on the go AM coffee, a small lunch burger to refuel me or a cozy dinner sandwich to wrap up my day. This place has been the spot.

The prices are extremely reasonably ( if not the most reasonable in West LA) and again, can’t emphasize the overall consistency enough. Love ya lokal!!“

“Pulled up to El Primo during the day and let me tell you — that carne asada quesadilla was next level. One of the best I’ve had in a long time. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Cheese was melted just right, and the tortilla had that perfect golden crisp without being greasy.

What really sealed it for me? The unlimited toppings bar — fresh cilantro, diced onions, limes, radishes, salsas, and more. Gave it that authentic Mexican street food vibe that’s hard to find. It felt like I was eating straight off a corner in CDMX.

Fast service, chill setup, and food that hits hard. El Primo isn’t just a taco truck — it’s a whole experience. I’m definitely coming back.“

“If you are from the east coast, Great Western Cheese Steak is like being at home. I have been here for more than 30 years and will not order a cheese steak anywhere else. These are the originals!“

“we love Wabi on Rose - such great food and fun drinks. we were able to try some new things this time and really enjoyed the food. Sushi is really high quality and we had a bunch to enjoy. The serive was great and they always deliver a great meal. Thx for always making our dinner at Wabi so perfect.“

“This place has an amazing atmosphere and experience. The staff is great and the chef...My God !!! The food was so delicious, you taste the flavor and passion behind it. I'd eat here everyday if I could lol. Definitely check it out and enjoy the food and atmosphere“

“The coffee itself is good and clearly made with quality beans.
However, the overall atmosphere didn’t feel quite right. The service felt distant, and the staff didn’t seem particularly happy or engaged, which affected the experience more than expected.

A café can have great coffee, but warmth and energy matter too. Hopefully this improves over time.“

“This coffee hub in Venice feels like the moment Abbot Kinney’s creative pulse meets the precision of third wave coffee. Opened in 2009, it helped define Venice’s modern café culture by turning coffee brewing into something closer to a performance than a transaction.

You step through the brick archway into a bright industrial space where baristas work in the open, pulling espresso and pouring filter coffees with the kind of care that makes you slow down and actually watch. The vibe channels Venice’s blend of artistry and edge with a mix of locals, creatives, and caffeine purists who treat this spot like a daily ritual. It is one of those rare cafés where the coffee is flawless, the energy feels alive, and the entire experience captures the spirit of Venice without trying too hard.“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant! 🥰“

“This gem of a bar was a find as I was walking through Venice Beach and Los Angeles. The margaritas were excellent! I had both the Blood Orange and the Hibiscus. I didn’t eat but was observing others chowing down on bbq and classic Mexican dishes. If you get a chance to check it out, please do so!“

“The cutest little Matcha store. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a little container of dog treats for your 4 legged friends. The matcha was great! We sat in the store for a bit to relax and browse all the Knick knacks they had for sale. The cool breeze blowing through the open windows and doors was nice.“

“This is the best place in the area to enjoy a high-quality breakfast. The ingredients are extremely fresh and flavorful, including the freshly squeezed fruit juices. While the space has a more warehouse-style bakery feel, the staff are very friendly, responsive, and welcoming, and the presentation is excellent.

The variety of breakfast options is impressive—especially the smoked salmon, which is outstanding. Over the past few years, we’ve had many great experiences here, often bringing friends and family to enjoy breakfast together.“

“Been coming here for years, great spot to people watch, grab a cocktail, and enjoy beach eats.“

“Fantastic locally owned neighborhood coffee bar. The quality of the coffee is unmatched. Everything is made in house, in small batches, and the effort really shows. Also the owner is lovely and super knowledgeable! If you’re in the area, it’s absolutely worth checking out.“

“Best gluten free treats around! It's a small shop, but I love the vibe! I can't wait to order my birthday cake and party treats!! Parking can be tough at times...but street parking is available!“

“I love the Waterfront. Great food and service, bogo happy hour, nice people and chill vibe“

“Super déco et très bonne nourriture . Un vrai régal . On a adoré“

“I am new to Levain Bakery, but I’ve heard about them for so long that I feel like I’ve been eating it for years. It was started in 1995 in NYC and I know that this is their second West Coast location. The Larchmont one opened in 2023, but I procrastinated in trying it. I live very close to this location so I stopped in this weekend and honestly really enjoyed it. I will admit I am not a huge fan of the cookies because I like a gooey soft cookie and these are more dense and less chewy but I also tried some of their sandwiches and thought they were fantastic. For this visit I chose the Tomato & Burrata as well as the Honey and Jam.

Inside is pretty small and doesn’t have seating so the only option is to go. The server helping us was very polite and made my sandwich on the spot right after I ordered. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot, however, street parking is not that hard to find or you can park in the alley in between this building and Erewhon. The line can get quite long at certain times so just be aware if stopping in during peak times. I would recommend and I plan to be back in the future to try more items.“

“Wonderful atmosphere! My favorite place for breakfast. Staff are amazing and so friendly. They make you feel right at home!“

“I came here for a facial with Chieko and was blown away. Probably the most relaxing massage I ever had (I even fell asleep!). Chieko was so kind, funny, and genuine. She did a skin analysis first and showed me which products she was going to use and why. There’s no extractions, it’s just about keeping your skin healthy. Theres also a facial massage included. I left feeling like my skin was glowing, plump, and hydrated. I also love the concept - everything is authentically from Japan. The products, the matcha, and it’s a beautiful open space you can relax in before or after your facial. I almost want to keep them as this hidden gem because I know they’ll blow up!!!“

“Passing this cute cafe for uncountable times, I finally made my way there. Yeah, it's always tricky visiting places at the busiest spot of Venice Beach - joy of finding parking spot in LA! Besides they mostly looked pretty busy on weekends, probably great stop to make while enjoying the stroll by the beach.

Their interior was nothing but SLAY. Period. Contemporary retro vibe, with great ambience to just sit killing time or even get some work done.

For the cup size, the coffee was quite pricey yet the great taste made it worth. I loved their Salted Caramel Latte, which was more on the sweeter side. I have been eyeing their pastries but unfortunately they were all gone when I arrived.“

“stopped in this morning to grab something and run when Christina asked were I wanted to sit. I sat in the window over looking the putting green! what great atmosphere here. I ordered the breakfast burrito it was fantastic.“

“Food is Amazing and Staff treats you like family. Been goung here since 1996 . My Favorite is the Chicken Enchildas with Hreen Sauce.“

“Great service and Great product.“

“Super cool 😎 Great place for drinks with friends, cool vibe and crowd“

“While They Don’t Serve Food Here It Doesn’t Stop The Immaculate Service. The Staff Is Always Kind And Treat You With Respect!! Love This Place Good For A Friend Group On Weekends Or A Little Solo Date Night Or Enjoying The Company Of Another“

“I ordered a döner from their food truck in Hollywood, it was good but not great. Coming from Europe I know what döner supposed to look and test like. European döner is with lamb meat has a mixture of shredded lettuce and red cabbage, onions and loaded with a yogurt garlic sauce. Overall it was still good.“
