50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ventura

“When Ventura first opened up my wife and I ordered meals to go unfortunately things were a little shaky at the time and the meals were short certain items and some things were correct. After calling Ventura and talking to the manager they agreed that next time we come in the meals would be on them. Well as time goes along some things get lost and today the wife found the receipt and called up the restaurant and talk to the manager his name is Nicholas. Well he did a great job he not only provided the meals for us but he was Very very cordial about it and thoroughly understanding he did a great job he made a lifetime customer with my wife and I and I appreciate his hard work and the good food that comes out of this restaurant thank you“

“The food is so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant, and the people are very friendly.“

“Awesome little coffee cart on Ventura beach! Great location by the pier and I am OBSESSED with the cute pink cups with the Ventura pier design. Probably the cutest cup I’ve ever seen and it made my morning beach walk from my hotel down to the pier that much better!“

“This place is all natural. I stumbled on this cute shop via instagram. The vibe makes you feel like you traveled to the caribbean and left california temporarily. There was a lady trying out samples of the juices while i was there and she couldnt stop talking about how good the santa rosa juice was. I highly recommend getting the dirty monkey smoothies. They offer acai bowls, juices, smoothies and cleanse programs. The employees are very sweet and kind. Free small parking lot. Reasonable prices. Dont forget to sign up for their reward programs as well.“

“We all loved Paradise Pantry , the food, the presentation, and the service were all fantastic The attached gourmet wine and cheese store is not to be missed. This place is a real gem in Ventura Ca.“

“if you don't go here you are missing out the food is delicious. The staff is great and you can tell the owner has a big heart. Also, remember there is one in Ventura on Main Street next to the movie theater and the other is in oxnard in the collection across from REI enjoy the food“

“Love ❤️ les meilleurs CroiSSants de Ventura 🥰“

“I gotta say it's was my first time being there to experience the breakfast on the cozy patio. I order the pecan pancakes with crispy bacon and their special syrup so deelish. The beignets are magnificent. The staff super Friendly!!! I highly recommend you try this French restaurant out . Follow Your Taste Buds!!!“

“By far best Indian food and restaurant in Ventura tried almost everything on the menu food quality and service is great . They also have South Indian specialties like Satbir masala dosa , and uttapam as well.“

“Great place! Excellent food!! Fast service! Clean and friendly atmosphere.“

“Best vegan food in Ventura county. I love their avocado sushi, it beats anything I’ve ever ordered from a Japanese restaurant! Menu is huge and there’s something for everyone. Service is excellent, the staff work so hard and are very kind. I prefer to get takeout or have it delivered.“

“Pete's Breakfast House What a great way to start the day! This amazing family-owned restaurant truly has it all—warm and attentive service, fair prices, and an atmosphere full of great energy. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. It’s a positive experience from start to finish, where good food feeds the body and the uplifting vibe fuels the mind. A heartfelt thank you to Lindsey, Olive, and the entire wonderful crew for making our day so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! With gratitude, Tom & Lori Jean Steele“

“A beautiful friendly restaurant with a unique and delicious menu and drinks.“

“Dan closed the brewery down for the Ventura County Sportfishing Club holiday party event. 60-70 members/guests attended. The staff handled the party with aplomb and assured everyone enjoyed the evening. This is some of the best craft beer you can find. The food was amazing and plentiful especially the short ribs. I would encourage a visit for some great beers. And if you are having an event, I would strongly suggest working with these folks. These are some of the nicest people you will find at any establishment in Ventura. I will be a regular.“

“A hidden gem on Main Street. We finally tried this place and were super impressed with the quality of the ingredients, the consistent (yes we have come here more than a few times and gotten the same thing) preparation, great and friendly staff, and really bright and welcoming space. All which make Edenic a must go place. One smoothista (basically a smoothie mixologist) gave us a suggestion so good we have been reluctant to try other menu items.“

“Great food great staff great all around fun place“

“I work nights in Ventura Russell's 🍩 saved my life sooooo many times with that Breakfast sandwich Mmmmmm.“

“Would give this place 10 stars if I could. Everything about this place is perfect! Starting with the friendly staff, and the flavorful food that just hits the right spot. Seldom outside of India would you find a casual, unassuming and surprisingly authentic tapas/cafe style Indian snacks. We are so glad we made a pitstop here on our way from Santa Barbara to universal studios, we were drawn here due to its unique name (kaapi means coffee in Tamil, specifically, their filter coffee) and the super interesting menu items. We would have ordered everything if we could have (we almost did). The cashew paneer dosa was just heavenly, just the right amount of crisp and the creamy yet aromatically spicy paneer is hard to find! The chef has perfected his recipes to the T. the chicken and waffles was a surprisingly authentic twist on the traditional fried chicken, I was so excited to find something like this outside of the south, and was mouthwateringly yummy. The chana puri was even better than the ones I find at South Indian joints - hands down one of the top three places for Indian inspired food in the country (living in the states for over a decade). Wish them all the best on their culinary journey, a true true gem indeed!“

“The food was really fresh and delicious.“

“Great Night with Good people! Food Truck with Great selection and Live music!“

“The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great“

“We had dinner tonight 10/24 @cafe zack. I made reservation for 6 pax. We seated in the patio and it was beautiful. I ordered rack of lamb (forgot to take photo). I ate every bit. We had Ceasar salad and the rest of the group ordered cowboy rib eye and fettuccine seafood curry. We had the desserts. Everything was delicious. It was our first time and cafe zack didn't disappoint us. We definitely comeback on December 26 for my birthday!“

“Hands-down, the greatest pepperoni pizza you can ever have. Full bar, great beer selection, great outdoor seating, what else can you ask for?“

“Great brews , food , and music“

“Super fun. We had a great group dinner. The food was great and so were the staff.“

“Hands down BEST sushi in Ventura! We come here at least once a week. Highly recommend parking along the street, catching sunset on the beach, then coming here for dinner. Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive.“

“The best place ! I recommend ❤️🍺“

“Love the Báhn mi sandwiches here. I always get the grilled tofu and it’s great - generous amount of tofu and delicious fresh bread. Service is excellent, and their new expanded shop is amazing. Lots of tables to eat inside and nice decor. Recommended 👍👍🫶“

“I was first introduced to Bright Spark In March at the Ventura Beer Experience. We talked with a lovely couple behind the table and tasted Day Trip, which has become my all-time favorite. We were introduced to a concept called Musical Bingo that day, and I was delighted to make my first visit to the brewery on my 55th birthday in May. Every single one of the employees there was kind, gracious, and warm. The food was absolutely amazing and the Musical Bingo is so much fun! I have since been dragging people left and right there and recommending you guys because of what a great laid back family-friendly atmosphere it is. I will be back again and again and again. and I will bring everyone I can with me! 😊🎶🤘🏼“

“Tiny speck of a neighborhood haunt with 4 or 5 tables and a scant 6 stools at a sushi bar. Service is friendly, timely and professional. Fish is as fresh as the Ocean and whatever came into Ventura or Santa Barbara in today's catch. Omakase for $60 pp and an amazing specials board with fresh eel, uni, sea bream, wahoo, scallops, amaebi, blue fin toro, and many others. Sake menu -- and Japanese beers -- complete the traditional experience.“

“Awesome place. Perfect vibe and food. The quintessential California beach experience. This was our first time and we can’t wait to return!“

“We love The Cave! The food is always excellent and the wines wonderful - truly everything we have had there has been delicious. We love that they go out of their way to offer not just excellent food, service and unique ambiance, but also memorable experiences, including wine dinners and (tonight) a Valentine murder mystery dinner that was so much fun! This is a very special place. Thank you Michele and Sabrina for all you do to ensure a consistently fabulous night out.“

“Great option of sitting up on their deck. Double check hours it’s open before you go. W tippers next door you can’t beat the great local vibe to hang out and enjoy the drink and food.“

“Delicious ice creams, lots of flavors, old ice cream shoppe feel.“

“Maggies has been our family go to for mexican food for I dont even know how many years now. Their carne asada, bean rice & cheese burrtitos are favs but corn burritos are too. Its a toss up at times lol so we sometimes get the asada burrito + corn burritos & share.
Hot sauce could make anything taste good haha because its so tasty with just the right amt of heat
Easy location & staff are always so nice. Our family loves their food so much we even used them for catering my sons rehearsal dinner😁“

“I live in Branson,MO but when I come to CA. I have to eat there as much as possible.“

“I love Topa! Friendly bartenders, great locations, dog friendly, I love it“

“We Recommend Everything!“

“Had some of their delicious yogurt on a hot day on my work break...the boss took the crew here...I would of never considered a froyo place but I'm soooo glad she took us! It was so refreshing and perfect. I have gone back on my own and the same things...Yummy! A definite craving of mine for sure! Generous amount and great unique flavors!“

“😊Great healthy lunches. 😀😀“

“The spicy cheese fries are amazing!! So are the burgers and onion rings. My new favorite burger place 😊 And the staff is wonderful.“

“I absolutely love the food here! Good thinly sliced gyro meat and delicious dipping sauces to go with a fresh salad. Sometimes takes a while to get food, but very much worth the wait and always hits the spot! I recommend calling in your order.“

“Great spot to meet up with friends. Food trucks there most nights, different ones, so you can grab a bite. Great bartenders, always friendly, indoor and outdoor seating - no reason to let any rain slow you down. And, very important, you gotta try the pickle beer! Its only available one day each week. You'll have to go in and ask when that is...“

“The most delicious açaí bowls around! Definitely worth the price. I highly recommend adding a splash of passion fruit to your bowl.

And oh my goodness, the empanadas *chefs kiss*.

Everyone who works there is so very friendly and patient.

I only gave 4 stars for the atmosphere only because it is just a regular place to sit and eat. They have plenty of tables and it is clean, but nothing overly fancy, which is fine since it suits the environment.“

“Fun place to get together with friends“

“I read reviews on the place and knew I needed a taiyaki cone! Super cute place, friendly staff and tasty treats!“

“I get back there every chance I get.“

“Love this place and have been coming for years specifically for their parmesan crusted tacos, think Taco Bell on steroids! They have a lovely patio, you can bring your pups, and the service is outstanding! 👍🏻👍🏻🌮❤️“

“The busy bee café is a place to go eat you could eat indoor or outdoor. They wait on you as soon as you get in they are so nice it’s clean services top-of-the-line, and the food is more than top-of-the-line. Great food come in and get it I live in Santa Barbara and I go to eat there each time, I’m there in Ventura.“

“I went in for the first time yesterday and was greeted with great service from a gentleman with brown hair and a girl named liz!

The drink honey oat latte was superb and the seward sandwich was delicious crunchy and a good price for its size. I will definitely be back for more“
