50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Fort Lauderdale

“I visited Oldays Coffee and had a great experience. Over the course of my meal, I enjoyed two americanos. The coffee was smooth, balanced, and carried a subtle brightness. There was a touch of citrus on the front and a cocoa-like finish that lingered just long enough. It’s the kind of cup that rewards you for paying attention.

For food, I ordered scrambled eggs with gluten-free toast and house potatoes. The eggs were light and satisfying, the toast sturdy enough to do its job, and the potatoes offered a crisp edge with a soft interior. Classic breakfast done well.

Since I was extra hungry (light dinner the night before, more room for wine), I also added the super greens with lemon vinaigrette. The citrus gave it a bright lift, but it was the mint that surprised me—cutting through with a refreshing punch that kept each bite lively. That detail elevated the salad from simple to memorable.

I sat outside on the covered patio, the only guest in that space. It was quiet, calm, and toward the end of my meal, the rain began. I lingered rather than rushing off, and it turned out to be a lovely place to wait out the weather.

The service tied it all together. Ignacio, my server, was attentive without being intrusive. He never made me feel rushed, even though I was dining solo outside.

Between the carefully prepared coffee, the refreshing salad, the peaceful setting, and warm service, Oldays Coffee delivered far more than just a good breakfast. It was an experience worth repeating.“

“I'm in LOVE with MISO!! Delicious food and drink options. Ambience is perfect for date night, girl time, meetup... Parking is usually tough in this area but MISO validates. I found this hidden gem looking for a new place to host my calligraphy events and it's perfect! The owner is also the chef; so friendly and makes super unique dishes along with traditional favs. Must try!“

“Manager Travis at the Cherry ST in Tulsa Oklahoma- was so knowledgeable- answered all our allergy questions and was patient and also was able to explain what was on each taco Food was fresh and very good and tasty! Velvet“

“Great place to chill and have wine“

“Livia Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale is a great spot with a mix of Italian favorites. We went to try their Dine Out Lauderdale menu and it was amazing. Some of our favorites were the Sunday sauce meatball, truffle potato gnocchi, raspberry sorbet, and tiramisu. The atmosphere is stylish but still relaxed, making it nice for either a date night or dinner with friends. The service is attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re in the area and want a meal that feels both fresh and comforting, Livia is definitely worth visiting.

“What an amazing coffee shop!! Enjoying being a regular here this week! Coffee and atmosphere is awesome!!“

“Great choice for dinner“

“I’ve had great coffee here in the past and the staff is always friendly, but the pumpkin pie latte wasn’t for me. The flavor tasted a bit off, not much like pumpkin or pumpkin pie…and it felt light on the coffee. Might just be a personal preference, but I’d probably stick to other drinks next time.“

“Celebrated a birthday dinner with them last night. The food & service couldn't have been better. The "Out of Control" raw sushi roll was out of this world. I'm excited to return soon, especially for lunch since our spa is so close. They actually helped solve a problem for me too without knowing it. My clients often find out I'm a former mega yacht chef and quiz me for dining options. I cringe because I'm very reluctant to give master chef level recommendations with such a plethora of ever changing restaurants, price points and service levels. My taste always leans to super fresh, fun, spicy ethnic-ish foods with bold flavors that you probably don't have to mortgage your house to afford. I'll worry no more as you'd be hard pressed not to find something you like on their abundant menu... even if sushi isn't your thing. Don't hesitate.“

“If you don’t know, now you know… The Caribe Vegan is BACK! Available to dine in (with real plates and silverware) in a beautiful garden setting at the Zen Mind Space in Wilton Manors (with a private parking lot) or for pick up at same location or order on Uber Eats or Grub Hub for delivery. First up thing I tried was one of the three Sushis rolls on the menu called, URSULA MOVED TO DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, it consisted of Vegan shrimp (made from heart of palm), sweet plantain, tofu cream cheese, cucumber, carrot \\u0026 crispy onions drizzled with her secret island sauce. The fusion style sushi roll, was full of flavor, and had a good texture through out, was definitely one of my favorite things I tried, and I would definitely get it again and highly recommend it when you order from her, but it definitely left me curious to try some of her other fusion style rolls, I could actually imagine just ordering all 3 rolls and calling it a night. The next dish was a caribe classic, a CRABCAKE (made with heart of palm) served over Dominican-style mashed plantain with garlic \\u0026 vegan butter and Crabcake, smothered in a house made cheesy garlic sauce \\u0026 pickled cabbage, do I have to say more? Just out of the world taste and flavor explosion, just like at the picture below, it was insane and so big. The final plate was a bowl for the soul, THE DOMINI SOULFOOD PLATE, that consisted of Latin style fried chkn (made from mushrooms and jackfruit), mac \\u0026 cheese, candied yams mixed with sweet plantain. The Chick’n was crunchy, and fried just right, she topped it with her special sauce, that really gives new meaning to special! I hope she starts selling It by the bottle, because it’s so good! The mac \\u0026 cheese was creamy and had a very good consistency. It was all complimented so well with candied yams and plantains that were the perfect sweet to go with the spice, an all around can’t miss plate, highly recommended. If you have ate at the Caribe Vegan in the past, you already know the amount of love she puts into each dish, and if you have never got to try her before, here’s your chance. Her new location is a beautiful event space, yoga studio and offers therapeutic massage as well (check for class times and appointment), it has lots of parking and a great zen garden to chill and enjoy your food, I definitely suggest stopping in, saying hi, and enjoying the food (it’s ok to bring a few canned beverages, if that’s your vibe). Check her Instagram @thecaribevegan for updated hours, menu items. Now rejoice she is back, and be happy that you to can have this incredible food tomorrow night for dinner. — at Zen Mind Space.“

“When we got stranded without baggage and only the gym clothes on our back for a night, these folks welcomed us in with open arms when no other restaurant in the area would because we didn’t meet their dress code. Food was wonderful as was the staff. Thanks y’all!“

“The Indian Harbor is an excellent restaurant for those who love Indian cuisine. My favorites are the Dal Makhani and the Butter Chicken. I usually order via UberEats but prefer to go in person to truly appreciate the naan fresh from the oven. The food and service are excellent… go with a friend to introduce them to this local delight.“

“Good food good vibes nice service great people“

“We landed early afternoon & headed straight to Café Bastille-Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale for brunch. I'd heard rave reviews about this spot & it exceeded expectations. We kicked off with a passionfruit margarita & a bacon bloody mary, both bursting with flavor. For our meal, we opted to share the truffle croque madame with a side salad & breakfast potatoes. The toast was wonderfully light & fluffy, & the potatoes had the perfect crunch. We couldn't leave without getting a NY pistachio croissant. The entire experience was enchanting. I'm already looking forward to our next visit before leaving Florida.“

“The food, cocktails and staff over the top wonderful! We highly recommend the great menu and the margaritas were delicious! The staff was so efficient, helpful and full of fun! Please give them try...you will not regret your decision!“

“Had lunch there today. We are out of town for a cruise and like to patronize the local businesses when able. Great food, friendly, and well priced. Would stop again when in the area!“

“Such a wonderful place. We’ve been there numerous times visiting our college kiddo at NSU. It’s awesome from the front door, to the staff, to the food and drinks. We love it. ❤️“

“Delicious food 🍲 the desserts are incredible I always get the cinnamon ice cream Omg so good!!“

“Breakfast is delicious. Cold glasses for the beer. Beautiful beach view and perfect location.“

“Just do it!!! so much better than a recent restaurant meal that I had and while I'm visiting Fort Lauderdale I'll be probably there every night for the rest of my stay“

“Delicious, great atmosphere. It is worth it“

“Reasonably priced food that tasted really good. The staff was very nice but aside from the man that handed us our menus, they were very, very slow. We had to get back to where we were parked by a specific time and ended up having to rush because we waited so long for our salads and then for our check after we were done eating. Really I want to do 3.5 stars but since I can't, I am doing 4.“

“Tarpon River Brewery is absolutely awesome!!! The staff is always on point, and Kristen has always made us feel at home. We like to bring our Dachshund Oscar up there and he is always welcomed like a celebrity. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING we have ever ordered to eat has been amazing. If you don't try the Cluck Norris, you are missing out. A brewery with great beer and great food, is very hard to find. Great job!!“

“The ice cream here is super unique. I have never tried anything like it. The texture is quite different. The flavors are unique as everything is homemade. The kids loved it. The place looks like a old fashion parlor. I would definitely come again next time I am in Florida. Update: just tried the sundae, amazing flavors and beautiful presentation.“

“Our family loves all Sarpino's Pizzeria - Fort Lauderdale products! Always fresh food! For any occasion Sarpino's Pizzeria - Fort Lauderdale comes into our house! You are best! Thank you for being with us!!“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“The service was amazing because of Deyanira she did great service she explained the menu and recommended to us her favorite plate it was delicious . Hopefully she gets a great recognition from her manager because she deserves it I will definitely coming back soon .“

“Last minute decision took it out on a Saturday night. Such a great evening, Great music and an amazing server. Graham knew the menu so well , and was able to suggest great choices that were very much enjoyed. From drinks, beers, and food. Whipped riocata appetizer is a must. It’s such a nice change to see someone that actually enjoys their job and brings so much energy to the table.
Thank you Graham.“

“Hopi and Gian served our table last night and did an exceptional job . They were fun, professional, and very knowledgeable, making great suggestions. We enjoyed our experience very much and will back . Make sure to try the charred octopus!“

“Food was excellent, the atmosphere was great.“

“I'm here from UK and had breakfast in Mitch's bagel bar, it was delicious and portion sizes were amazing. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, and would definitely go back here again.“

“As a older adult, I enjoy going to this establishment very much. There is a nice mixture of ages and demographics, and everybody is very sweet. The owner Mark, his GM Fayna and his staff are very accommodating and helped me learn about the different botanical drink options and since I’ve been going there, my health has improved (i believe it’s due to their recommendations). I prefer holistic and natural approachsto my well-being, and I have become a regular of Leaves and Roots. I have also recommended them to my friends and family.“

“Delicious empanadas, I asked for a Mocha frappe and it was delicious. Nice and relaxing music on the place 🤩“

“Great food!!!!! Will come again.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Tokyo Sushi, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the authentic sushi crafted by a master, a culinary journey that can only be savored in this establishment. Each piece was a testament to the finest traditions of sushi-making, using the freshest ingredients and showcasing the artistry of the sushi chef. But it wasn’t just the sushi and sashimi that impressed; the desserts and soups were equally gastronomic delights. For those seeking a genuine culinary adventure, Tokyo Sushi is a must-visit destination where you can savor all their bestselling creations. It’s an absolute must-visit for any food enthusiast, a true gastronomic masterpiece!“

“Coconuts has consistently been my "Go-To" spot when guests are in town or a special occasion comes up. From the Drink Menu & Appetizers to Deserts and everything in between; they have always been spot on! Valet makes parking easy in the busy beach area, taking away the hassle of having to find a spot. The staff is always kind and courteous- I especially appreciate the mindfulness when I mention my food allergies. I'm confident I can order anything off the menu and not have to worry about an accidental contamination and reaction. If you go- don't leave without ordering the Scoobies and a slice of Key Lime pie!“

“lugar donde puedes pasar un tiempo agradable... te tomas unas cerveza y la puedes disfrutar junto con una hamburguesa yo Les recomiendo la Black amb Blue“

“Low key place with great service, and fantastic seafood. Don’t skip dessert.“

“It’s a cool place, I won’t take that away from them. But I’ve been there a few times and there’s definitely an “in” crowd that seems to be there every time I go. Kind of feels cliquey. And I’ve asked for flavored tea a few times and idk if they’re out or just not listening but I end up with a non flavored tea that I just kind of accept and deal with. It would be nice if the bartenders or whatever you call them actually ask your name or say thank you after you pay them instead of just walking away. Just seems like there’s two rungs of service.“

“Absolutely delicious food in a cool, laid back atmosphere.“
