50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Venice

“Great white is an amazing place. I’ve been there for dinner and lunch. The breakfast burrito is my favorite in all of LA but the dinner experience, the atmosphere is very fun it’s the perfect spot for casual family friendly dinner where the food is amazing The burger was delicious and so are the fish tacos. finally, the banana bread for dessert was so tasty.“

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

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“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“

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

“I love this kind of place. Has been there forever and a hidden gem. Do not let the unassuming aesthetic dissuade you, this is very good authentic italian food and experience. Antonio is fantastic, ask for and take his reccomendations. Go with the flow here, it's relaxed but quality italian. Go somewhere else if you want bougie ambiance but mid teir italian. Wine salads dinner and deserts all excellent. If you have been to Italy you understand that modesty and relaxed environment plus excellent food and people is how it is supposed to be.“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We frequented this sandwich shop when we were traveling in Florence and Rome. Pleasantly surprised to see they have a store in Venice and decided to give it a shot. Sandwiches here are not as good as the ones in Italy, but pretty great for what I’d expect here.

Got the l’italiana and the la schiacciata del boss. Both were good in their own way but I’d say the truffle cream in the del boss sandwich is an excellent umami boost.

Sandwich portions here are pretty big and half a sandwich is enough to fill me up!“

“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“

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

“Delicious pasta & great tiramisu, if I could rate this place 6/5 I would.

I ordered the gnocchi with mushroom sauce and burrata, and it tasted almost homemade. The gnocchi had the perfect slightly chewy texture, and the sauce had a slight olive oil flavor to it that kicked it up a notch.

The man at the counter was also quite friendly and chatty, he said “it’s so good you’ll want it for breakfast, lunch and dinner” and I agree.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

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

“The food and environment!“

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

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“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.“

“By LA taco standards, I didn't find this place special at all.

So weird that there are no cheese options for the tacos. Would be a game-changer if you could have melted cheese like Tacos Los Cholos.

Quesadilla con Chorizo looks better than it tastes.

Taco sampler platter, the chicken ones are the best.

The Jamaica agua fresca is incredible and my favorite thing here.

Playing really good reggaeton music (e.g., Peso Pluma).“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is great and the sushi is absolutely amazing — super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every roll we tried was delicious, and you can really tell they care about quality.

The only downside I can mention is the bathrooms. They’re unisex and were veryyy dirty when we visited, which was disappointing compared to how good everything else was.

Other than that, the food alone makes it worth coming back. Definitely recommend for sushi lovers!“

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

“My boyfriend and I were visiting Venice beach for the first time and we were looking for something filling and fresh. We first walked by this little shop and it was a little hard to find due to the store being inside the Gingerbread court but it was well worth it!! We were going to get 2 spicy bowls but the owner recommended we do the lomo bowl and the spicy tuna bowl. GREAT recommendation!! We will be going back when we visit again. Great food, great service and a beautiful spot to eat peacefully. Definitely recommend! (No pictures of the food we ate it super fast)“

“If you are searching for authentic Mexican tacos from a native of Mexico, this is the ideal location. It is evident when the locals visit that this establishment is excellent. The tacos were filled with meat, but the price was cheap. The picture depicts a food truck, but it was under a tent. Everything was freshly prepared and ready for consumption. This location is significantly cheaper than other locations. We pay for four tacos with one burrito for $20. Burritos are so delicious that you may not want to share it. This establishment only accepts cash. There is no table, only chairs. We would highly recommend this. Real tacos and very cheap. Secret spot.“

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

“I recently ordered catering from Lokal Venice and it was such a great experience. The place itself is super cute, the interior is really well put together and just beautiful to look at.

This was my first time ordering catering from them, and it was a total success. Everything was delivered right on time, and the presentation was amazing. I ordered burritos and asked them to cut them in half, which made everything look extra neat and organized, perfect for a group setting.

I had quite a few dietary restrictions to accommodate since this was for a Teacher Appreciation Day at a school (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, egg allergies, dairy-free) and they handled everything so well. The communication was easy, they responded quickly to emails, and made the whole process stress-free.

On top of all that, they even let me take their insulated bags to make it easier to transport everything, they just asked me to return them later. I thought that was such a thoughtful and helpful touch.

I 1000% recommend them, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again for my next catering!“

“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!“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant! 🥰“

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

“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 ordered Mama’s Famous Baja Fish Tacos, and they absolutely lived up to the name. The fish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right; crispy on the outside while staying tender inside. Every bite had that balanced, flavorful punch that makes you pause for a second and appreciate what you’re eating.

They came with chips and salsa on the side, which rounded out the meal nicely.

Overall, it was a simple order done really well. Definitely a clutch choice. I’d come back for these again without hesitation.“

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

“I am an LA native, and the coffee scene in the city has ebbed and flowed (no pun intended). Suffice it to say Flō is an exceptional spot. The quality of the espresso shot is never burnt, and the care and attention that is given to each drink is ritualistic. It’s a small team, close quarters, and it creates a convivial atmosphere within the community. For this and many other reasons I highly recommend patronizing Flō - you will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at Venice Beach Wines. The shop has a relaxed, welcoming feel that makes it easy to spend time browsing and learning about different wines. The selection is thoughtfully curated, with a mix of well-known bottles and smaller producers that you might not find in larger stores.
The charcuterie plate, the dates and burger are so yummy! 😊

The staff are knowledgeable and friendly without being pushy. They take the time to listen to what you like and recommend something that actually fits your taste and budget. Whether you’re looking for a special bottle or just something good for dinner, it’s a place where you can trust the guidance and discover great wine.“

“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!!“

“This place is so good it’s better than five stars. Friendly service staff too, and we had a toddler that was happily served and given food and drink that kept her happy.

Every single thing we ordered was fantastic. We had fish wrapped in banana leaf, a coconut milk chicken broth rice, a japanese eggplant curry, and several other dishes - all so good they are almost disgracefully good.

The place is well worth the price. Highly recommend.

The cocktails were also superb. The smoked whiskey drink was so good we ordered another and we never order two. Also highly recommend their manhattan.“

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

“the BEST bakery in our venice beach neighborhood. the rolls are simply fantastic. everytime we visit we are treated like family by the staff.

you must try the dark chocolate peanut butter cookie!!

they’re extremely busy all the time, so highly recommend visiting earlier in the day to snag a walnut berry roll! don’t let the line discourage you, it moves quick

very proud of Levain being a big supporter of Venice Run Club 🏃💨“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great service and Great product.“
