50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants New Canaan

“My family and I were visiting family in Norwalk and were referred to Greens on the Go in New Canaan. We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious. I personally enjoyed the Spring Bowl with Tofu, which was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I also tried the Pitaya Island and it was an absolute must-try – such a delightful treat! The owner, Alyssa, is very friendly and was an absolute pleasure to meet. Her warm hospitality made our visit even more special. If you're in the area, Greens on the Go is definitely worth a visit. We will be back for sure!“

“Came in today, I was greeted by a very sweet manager. All the staff was lovely. Very attentive. I went in there thinking I was going to get one pastry and a coffee. But I ended up sitting down and ordering a whole meal! Well worth it. Lox toast with avocado A++“

“Amazing place that really takes care of their customers!“

“This is my new favorite caffe! The sandwiches are incredible, they have a great coffee and tea selection, they have pastries, AND they have gelato! Everything is so good, and the ambiance is amazing. The staff are all incredibly kind and attentive, too. I love this place, 5 stars for sure.“

“I had an event last week at Nod Hill Brewery in which we hosted over 50 international colleagues. We had a tour, a tasting and an awesome BBQ dinner from Walrus Alley! We topped the night off with Karaoke. They did such a fantastic job - I highly recommend NHB for your next gathering! I know I will be back ;)“

“We both had the caesar salad and the flank steak sandwich, which was delicious. Thank you for supporting Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce Restaurant Week. We will be back soon!“

“To start, Orion is one of the best beers I've ever had. Great spot to chill with friends and family. My only gripe is the ambiance, it's really bright and a bit bare inside. Would be cool to see more art, cool lighting and other moody touches.“

“The cocktails and the food were outstanding. The flavors of the appetizers (Kung Pao Brussels sprouts and Burata flatbread) were just delicious and all three of our main dishes (chicken pot pie, the sea bass and the clam and pork belly tagliatelle) just popped with deliciousness! Can't wait to go back!“

“A cozy, quiet and atmospheric place, with live music ideal to spend time with friends and family.
The Coctails, pizza, and the lamb were my favorites.
The bartender, chefs, Ever and Natalia get 5 Stars.
Special thanks to Sarah and Vishal, i felt so welcome. The best owners.“

“Third place is right around the corner from my apt and I absolutely love it! 10/10 great vibes, great beer, good variety of food options from breakfast to lunch and the food trucks for dinner. I love getting a drink and sitting outside for lawn games and listening the love music. They also have massive screens blown up to show the big sporting events throughout the year. A go-to spot in the rotation for sure!“

“Best food truck in Connecticut! Delicious food and amazing workers. 10/10“

They took all the pressure off us so that we could enjoy ourselves. A big thank you to Jackie, George and Missy!!! Would definitely host another party there again!! We can't thank you enough!“

“Great healthy food very friendly great atmosphere authentic Japanese food the Roman chicken was amazing ❤️❤️❤️ recommend it big time“

“Beautiful place for outdoor dining!“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“I will always recommend the tater tots as they are perfectly seasoned and will never be soggy the way they package them. But my new obsession is the brownie sundae I want the recipe to the best brownie ever!“

“My husband and I are beyond vegan (meaning, as well as not eating animals, we don't eat anything artificial.) It's hard for us to find any good restaurants where we live so we drove 1 1/2 hours to check out Botanika. We were amazed at how delicious everything was...and we ordered 1burito, 2 wraps, 2 pulled jackfruit, mac n "cheese," and two (or three) of every dessert they had! (of course we took some home lol) The chocolate cheesecake was absolutely delicious! The owner and server were completely sweet and friendly. This charming little cafe is filled with good vibes and loving energy. We will definitely be returning.“

“homemade ice cream was amazing. love how friendly they were.“

“My school bus used to drop me off across the street and i'd save my lunch money just to get a few tacos and a drink. The tortas are to die for, super flavorful. They were always super efficient and kind and they kept it consistent, wish I was as close as I used to be!“

“I love this place so much. It’s probably my favorite restaurant in Norwalk. My whole family dined there regularly. My kids love it. The food and drinks are great, service is always excellent. It’s clean and the atmosphere is relaxing. The only thing I wish would be some new options on the menu.“

“The best hot dogs, hand-cut fries, battered onion rings, burgers, and even stuffed squash blossoms in the area. There's no arguing it. It's phenomenal. Affordable, too. Pro tip: when they have their fresh veggies and fruits, get the nectarines. Best you'll ever have!“

“First of all, a big thank you to the very wonderful host for accommodating our request to dine on the back patio—it was perfect! The food was outstanding, as always (highly reckoned any of their pizzas or pasta dishes, as well as the cocktails) and the service was top-notch, attentive, and friendly. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for a memorable evening!“

“My family has been going to Los Poblanos for years. First when they had a restaurant and now the food truck. You can't keep them away. The owners are the sweetest and the food is delicious every time. Highly highly recommend them if you want truly authentic and amazing Mexican food.“

“This is the best spot for lunch. i grew up in the restaurant business and it’s hard to find a place that has great food. This place is the best for lunch in Norwalk. Great size portions. Great flavors. Very friendly owners and staff.“

“Fabulous place fabulous food fabulous staff fantastic time“

“I came along after a terrible dinner at some restaurant nearby- i wanted a matcha dessert and saw this spot two mins away. I was intrigued with matcha tiramisu, i ate some on my way home. I was mind bobbled on how delicious it was! Now I am obsessed and need one near me. Thank you for the best dessert of my life!!“

“Amazingly good food! My husband and I were in Norwalk, CT for a wedding and the following day we were looking for a "brunch" place before heading back to Middletown, CT. Did a Google search and saw the reviews for Herb's Place. While it wasn't the sit down we were thinking of, I'm really glad we went. The food was SO good! We'll definitely go back if we're ever in that area again.“

“Staff was incredible at a very crowded event, will definitely come back to try the foods.“

“We love this place! This is our Friday night go to place for sushi. The food is consistently amazing and fresh!! The servers, Kelly and Jessica, are personable. They had 10 year anniversary dinner for selected families since we are here quite often and we were blown away with all the delicious meal, drinks and service. Family friendly and also great for date night. We have been coming here many years ago way before they expanded. You won’t regret coming here! Best sushi in Greenwich!!!“

“Great location in a lively, redeveloped section of Stamford. We had an event with a fixed price menu and each course was amazingly good. Come hungry, because they give you a lot of food. Apps, salad, pasta and main courses were all wonderful. Great service and a great view of the harbor. Not sure if it is open to the public, but if it is, check it out.“

“Wonderful place to spend an hour or so on a Sunday morning in particularl, or any other time you’re in the area. Cozy, inviting atmosphere with good food (sandwiches, snacks and pastries) and coffee made on site by talented staff; premium local goods are also available for purchase. Our experience was enhanced by a delightful musician. Not to be missed any time.“

“you have to go there and order the fire 🔥 ball wrap... it's amazing 👏 😍 🙌“

“Wonderful dinner experience last evening. The food is delicious and although the place was packed, we never felt rushed to finish. Instead, we were thanked multiple times for visiting and the entire staff was warm and friendly. We will be back!“

“If you are a connoisseur of eating sandwiches, pasta, other excellent dishes, and homemade mozzarella cheese, then this is the #1 deli for you in life, let alone in Greenwich. The Cos Cob Crusher is incredible, I ask for mine with extra cheese, a little balsamic vinegar and toasted. If you have an issue with something you ordered, tell Orlando before you leave so that he can fix the confusion. Orlando is the man and one of the best business owners in the area! I’ve been coming here for almost 25 years.“

“This place is amazing. Their menu has lots of options and toppings and it took time to decide what to get! I had a veggie burger and my friend the philly cheese steak wedge. The Philly sandwich tasted like heaven and the parmesan truffle fries good. The blue cheese dip was great. For sure coming back!!“

“Atmosphere is great. Wonderful place to chill or work. Teams can meet here too. Came by myself and was happy with service and atmosphere. Ordered croissant hand and cheese, pain au chocolat and latte. Food and coffee are ok. Not bad. Not great. Overall I will still come.“

“This cozy vibey spot is elegant, good food, Jamaican flavors, beats and ambiance. Underrated for its offerings. Bar men very professional and fast. I enjoyed the karaoke. A spot for everyone. Safe and spacious. Thank you Shashana for the recommendation“

“Amazing, fresh food! Great customer service.“

“Ottimo 👏 lavoro . Gelato come in Italia“

“Always a great experience and always great food! I love this place! ❤❤❤“

“visited for the first time yesterday, and will definitely be back. Staff were super friendly, food was amazing as was the service.“

“The best coffee shop in southern CT. Really your only option for properly curated and prepared espresso and tea between New Haven and NYC.

If you have gotten used to proper third wave coffee in NYC, within Fairfield County, don’t waste your time anywhere else.“

“Amazing, filling tacos! ¡Muy sabroso!“

“Recently stopped in for cocktails after a weekend event at the Westport Library, conveniently across the street. We did not eat, but the staff was very friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. Carlos, our bartender, made great recommendations that were spot on, and he even brought us a specialty cocktail to try on the house. Chef Renato was also very engaging and generous, he offered us a tasty bite simply for the joy of hospitality. The wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza looked delicious, definitely want to try it next time!“

“It was our first time there. A great place to have a cup of coffee, and some good eats. Also the lunch menu looked very good, I’ll try it next time I’m there. We’re going back, highly recommend it“

“Stopped in for a strawberry banana smoothie, 5 stars! Great service, great friendly atmosphere, and workers very knowledgeable about the product! Will be returning!“

“Date: 8/9/24 Wanted pasta and wanted to try something new. My friend and I ordered the linguine Fra Diavolo with sea food and the sauce was amazing! Sea food tasted fresh. Also ordered the hangar steak chimmichurra and it’s delish! ! The salad that comes with it was fresh and had strawberries and blueberries! So good. Great happy hour red sangria and super friendly staff. Had a Quattro leche cake slice. Who knew? I thought you stop at three! Caramel sauce and fluffy. Yum. Go! Oh and so reasonably priced for what you get with large open seating and good acoustics.“

“Good food and spiked shakes“
