50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Venice

“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. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“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!!“

“Best restaurant I've been to ever that understands and caters to Celiac, but is so good you can actually bring people who are not gluten-free and they would never know they were eating gluten-free. I was in LA for a week and ate there 3 nights. I would have gone more but they're closed on Monday and Tuesdays. The fried zucchini squash blossoms should definitely be ordered and enjoyed❣️ DPK from Plymouth, MA“

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

“la comida esta muy buena“

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

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

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

“Hands down my favorite restaurant! 🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Visited this establishment for the first time on a busy Saturday morning. Excellent vibe and welcoming staff!

​When one of my food items never arrived, I went inside and saw a 40-person line. I flagged down Steven M. at the espresso machine to see if he could point me in the right direction. Instead of passing the torch, Steven took full ownership of the situation. He was exceptionally polite, coordinated directly with the kitchen and register teams, and resolved the issue with a great attitude. This was NOT his job, and he did it all professionally with a smile. ​Customer service like Steven’s is rare.

​Food/Drinks: 8.5/10
​Service: 10/10
​Thank you, Steven M.! Give that man a raise.“

“Fun place, great food/coffee , great energy without all the excessive pretentious weirdness. The most authentic and sincere business in that area.“

“Be aware of a GOOD thing…these sandwiches are HUGE!!

We had the Caprese and the Veggie and clearly we could have shared one sandwich as we ended up having half and then having the other half for dinner at home.

For five dollars extra you can upgrade and include a drink and a bag of potato chips. Very good food, the bread was fresh out of the oven and the ingredients were amazing.

Outside seating in a nice shaded patio. I definitely recommend.“

“We were just passing through Los Angeles and decided to celebrate my husband’s birthday at Wallflower on a whim. We had no reservation, but were warmly welcomed and given a lovely table beneath the disco ball, which made the evening feel even more special.

Every dish was delicious. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience made it well worth it.

Thank you for turning a spontaneous stop into one of our favorite memories from LA. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“The decor made you think you were on vacation. The food took your tastebuds to a whole other level of flavor! This place went above all my expectations. Everyone should try to visit @PalomaVenice“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“since 1973. the best, the greatest,anytime of day, night, after midnite“

“Lucky late-ish find after getting into LAX. Handful of great tacos (had pollo and asada) and a nice horchata for less than most fast food spots these days.

Would be a regular stop for me if I was in the area.

(cash only)“

“The best Tacos in Venice! I dipped in for a quick bite and was blown away by the flavors and quality of the food. The steak picado and cochinita pibil are flawless. One thing to know, they are not kidding about the spice levels. I’m a medium spice guy, and their medium was at the edge of my tolerance, but still delicious.“

“I loved it. Everything is clean and the staff very friendly. And fist time going they help u order .“

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

“Had dinner here yesterday with my Mum and this place certainly ticked all the right boxes, if you’re looking for a healthy spot along the Venice beach broadwalk this is the place to go. The food was so fresh, clean and tasty and the portions perfect. Thanks to the wonderful owner for a great meal it was a pleasure to meet you and taste your lovely food. We had the Ceviche bowl and Asian Bowl. Highly recommend.“

“We found this place by of chance needing to use the bathroom whilst walking around Venice and what a great find. Staff are lovely and welcoming and attended to us well. The place was very clean and the food was just right and so tasty. I will be returning when I visit again.“

“I really enjoyed this place. I was not sure what to expect and I am a bit of a sushi snob. The vibe was casual, but very cool. Stylish staff with good food recommendations. I don't usually like a DJ, but their DJ was AWESOME! I even got her IG so I could hopefully catch her out somewhere else. All in all, a fun night with good food and drink. I went with two other adults, it's not a kid place.“

“Great ambiance! Food was spectacular! Definitely would come back next time I’m in the LA area.“

“The food and environment!“

“Cracking little bar… fantastic customer service and such a warm welcome.“

“Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly 🐕
Food was delicious for the most part with reasonable prices and we'll be back. That said, the fried chicken on the sandwich was pretty disappointing, kind of low quality and gristly which put off the rest of the good flavor.“

“Great windward punch & oatmilk cappuccino“

“We stopped here after an afternoon at the beach: 4 adults, 2 seniors, and 3 children ages 2 to 4. Service was excellent, very accommodating and patient with our large group including little ones. The food was great, lots of choices, something for everyone. And it was happy hour, so we got discounts on pizzas and drinks! Reasonable prices, large delicious pizzas, friendly attentive service. Definitely 5 stars!“

“10/10 every visit. I’m addicted to the gringo tacos with the habanero sauce. It’s a spiritual experience to see how much I can handle. The people are great. It’s a low key and clean environment. And you may expect some more riff raff coming directly off Lincoln, but you wouldn’t know just hanging out in the back. Plus they have a great little parking lot.“

“I had an excellent cortado at Flo Coffee Bar. I was recommended this spot by Jack from Endorffeine, and it absolutely lived up to the recommendation. The service was warm, friendly, and welcoming.

The cortado was technically outstanding. The temperature was spot on, allowing the coffee to be enjoyed immediately without losing any sweetness or balance. The microfoam was silky and perfectly integrated with the espresso, creating an exceptionally smooth texture from the first sip to the last. The drink maintained excellent body retention throughout, and I was especially impressed that the latte art remained visible almost until the very end of the cup—a small detail that reflected how well the milk and espresso stayed integrated throughout the drink. The presentation was clean and precise, showing great attention to detail.

If you appreciate well-executed specialty coffee and baristas who focus on consistency and craftsmanship, Flo Coffee Bar is definitely worth a visit. And thank you to Jack from Endorffeine for recommending another outstanding coffee experience.“

“HUGE SHOUTOUT TO VICTORIA!!!!! What a wonderful experience. I came here on a date night with my husband and this was the perfect night away from the kids. We had the carrot hummus, the meatballs and the artichoke appetizer along with a stellar bottle of wine. Will be coming back. Thank you Victoria for wonderful service.“

“Love the products and vibe! The tea was pretty good! Not too sweet. So happy to pick up Anna Sui rings and perfume I've wanted for years!! (I've been looking for a place I can see and smell them in person.) Such a treasure trove!!“

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

“Excited to see how Ono moves food forward with their sustainability practices and affordability. These smoothies are hands down the tastiest in town. I paid $7 for a 20 oz smoothie!! That’s unheard of in L.A., especially with all organic ingredients and no added sugars. Yes!!!!! Everything blends directly into the compostable cup and to top it off they have straws made out of hay. I’m already obsessed! My favorite so far is the Avocado/Matcha!!!“

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

“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.“

“Had an AMAZING lunch here while passing through Venice. I'm a chicken caesar wrap connoisseur and I can confidently say that the chicken caesar wrap here is in my top 3 EVER. This is a must-do spot if you are looking for lunch around the area.“

“Good service, casual atmosphere. We had brunch. Brunch special is $20, including one brunch option (a variety of egg and other breakfast dishes) and a brunch cocktail. The regular menu was offered as well. The potatoes and tzatziki was delicious. Valet parking is $10.“

“No major critiques. Felt a bit mass-produced and undifferentiated. I probably won't go back, but it's about as expected and you won't be disappointed if you find yourself there.
- Vanilla latte 4/5
- Oat latte 4/5
- Sour cream coffee cake 5/5
- Chocolate chip cookie 5/5“

“The staff was very kind and accommodating here. I ordered a gluten-free vegan cheese veggie pizza. (I'm not vegan, just wasn't feeling like meat) and the gluten-free crust was delicious. The vegan cheese was much too heavy for me, so I recommend asking for light cheese unless you're into that.

The missing star is only for atmosphere and the crowd it draws. A lot of people were high on various kinds of substances, and I was harassed repeatedly by another customer while waiting for my food. I understand it's a cheap food place that is open fairly late into the evening, but so are lots of places, so it's odd.

Not a place to dine-in unless you need to in a pinch. There are all but two tables. Overall very happy with the staff and food!

Note: They sell pizza by the slice, but not for gluten-free!“
