50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carmel

“This is the best Thai place ever! It is not like all of the others around the area serving identical dishes, there are amazing chef creations/family heirloom recipes that will save your SOUL on your worst behavior day as a parent. Promise.“

“Love Monterey in Carmel! Beautiful restaurant, great service, and even better food!“

“Nice place great Margaritas“

“I needed something healthy and quick before my next appointment and Bowlify Superfoods was nearby. I ordered an açaí bowl and the sushi toast which is topped with avocado and smoked salmon. Everything was delicious. I do not typically like most prepared açaí bases because they are too sweet, but this blend was perfect and well balanced. You can choose from their signature bowls or create your own, and they do not charge for extra toppings which is great. The owner was very nice and helpful too. I’ll definitely stop in again soon.“

“Petos is a family owned, authentic Greek restaurant with amazing food, and fabulous & enthusiastic service. They always make you feel special every time! 10/10“

“We had a great experience here! Despite putting in a large order with no advance notice, the baristas were cheerful and incredibly fast getting it filled! I love the theme of the coffee shop! There were lots of tables and though we didn't try the food, it looked delicious. The food did look pretty pricey for what it was. The drinks were good - just could've been a little sweeter for our tastes. They definitely had fun flavor options and a wide variety of options.“

“When I tell you I love this place. You have no idea I live about 2 hours away and will make a trip JUST to go here and eat. The burgers are fun unique and so appetizing. My mouth waters just looking at the pics. The fries are to DIE FOR! And if you like Garlic Aoli its only like .50 cents if I remember right to add it“

“Love their juices and smoothies!“

“Love the food, service was great .“

“Simply amazing. I don't normally leave comment reviews but this place is great. Fast, friendly, delicious and the coffee is great too.“

“Looked online to find an authentic French baguette. Sent my husband on a 20 minute drive to buy a loaf. The lady on the phone said that their baker had learned to make the baguettes in France so they were indeed authentic. Husband returned with a $5.00 loaf and when I cut into the very small loaf, it looked like a whole grain piece of bread fom Kroger or Fresh Market. It did not taste like a French loaf nor did it have the texture of a French baguette. So disappointed in the whole experience and will definitely not return for bread!“

“Our staff at Carmel Eyecare decided to try Nara today for lunch. We have nothing but great things to say! Our take out was fresh and hot. The staff was so friendly and helpful! I'm picky with Habatchi, and this exceeded my expectations. Thank you Nara!!“

“Great place to visit any time of day. Every time I come home to Carmel from Colorado I make an effort to stop in. Great place to stop by for remote work during the day during summer months. Great selection of beers and the service is always on point. My most recent visit, Ian went above and beyond to get water for my dog and had great recommendations on top of being attentive.“

“Great atmosphere & food was awesome! 🔥🧡“

“This place is the best! Everything is beautiful AND delicious! The service is top tier! I accidentally pre-ordered a cake to the Westfield location and drove to Carmel, but they encouraged me to just take a cake they had already instead of driving to the other location and totally saved me from my mistake, no questions asked! They really just wanted me to have a good experience picking up and enjoying the beautiful and delicious Mango Cloud cake!“

“Had the best tasting with Lee at Peace Water Carmel today! It's always a great experience and fantastic wine, but Lee went above and beyond to share information about the wine! Highly recommend 👌“

“always great desserts Customer focused workers According to Nyx, the BEST pup cups“

“I've been wanting to go here for awhile! on an early Saturday afternoon, we finally went. everyone was very pleasant and patient with our family (toddler and infant.) although we didn't have to use the changing table in the bathroom, it was appreciated that they had one. the service was prompt and the food was absolutely delicious. we had the pulled pork sandwich, salmon salad, and kids Mac and cheese with beans/rice. no complaints! our waitress Sue was fantastic. we will be back!“

“Kara did an awesome job at making my tacos! They were delicious! I will be back.“

“Solid pie and kids plate. Good service. Good beer selection (although they often “just ran out” of the one I order).“

“We took my boyfriend’s mother and her friend here to celebrate their birthdays last month. The food was great, the atmosphere and decor were dazzling, and the customer service was top notch. We especially loved the cake, chicken piccata, and the soup. We will definitely be back.“

“Good pour over Good hot cocoa“

“We were in Carmel for the day and decided to check it out. I could eat here every day! The poke bowl was fresh and the perfect portion. The coffee and strawberry mocktail were full of flavor and you can customize the sweetness level. Great customer service. Overall, we can’t wait to go back!“

“This small cafe-type should be outstanding. However, because of is popularity, it was overwhelmed by the crowd. We were there for breakfast at 9:30 with 4 adults, a 3-year old and a 2-month old baby. We had to wait a long, long time to be waited on and even longer for our food. Once served, we had to hurry to eat due to other commitments for the day. We were there for over 2 hours! In saying all that, our server was friendly, pleasant and extremely apologetic about the delay. This was my 2nd time there. Not sure there will be a 3rd.“

“It was so lovely cafe patachou in amercia from sumi 🇬🇧 🥰🥰💝💝😍“

“The owners are wonderful caring people. I have dealt with thousands of companies throughout the United States with my business, and they are by far the most dedicated to customer service I have experienced. Although a little bit of a drive, this location is well worth the service you will receive. We have now moved our business to them and will use them only for all future orders and company orders. We will miss them for a couple of months; they will be closed for winter, but we can always buy a couple of gallons to get us through...LOL If you get a chance and are in the Carmel area, stop by and see what I mean when I say, "Rita's Carmel location is all about CUSTOMER SERVICE done right."“

“The food here is absolutely decadent. We’ve eaten here a couple different times and they never fail to impress. The hospitality is top-tier, and the atmosphere is unmatched. 10/10.“

“Delicious food, friendly service! Definitely worth the trip. Will be back!“

“Yummy Elk Burgers and sloppy fries!“

“Yummy lunch drove a little out of my way in route home to Michigan.“

“Divvy is one of my favorite places to go for an evening out! I always have a wonderful time. The food is delicious, the service is exceptional and the atmosphere is wonderful. I look forward to the next time I get to go! I can't wait to try the brunch!“

“We went into this location today and we’re greeted by the best staff you could possibly ask for.

The owner has made great strides in providing a safe working environment as well as a warm environment for their patrons.

Thank you for the great burgers and fries!🍟🍔“

“The lady who got our ice cream was so friendly and nice! Ice cream-how can it go wrong?“

“Came in with a group, we had the upstairs room then told we had to be gone by 7pm We reserved the room at 515. So with that said, servers ok. Food came at 645. Manager told the group that we need to be out by then. 7pm because it was reserved for another group at 7. He told us that the staff didn’t inform him about it. Really kinda not our problem at that time. We were 30+ strong. Kids and all. I walked out at 715. Doesn’t seem right. Not mad but a concern with staff and communication. Food good, service ok, slow at times , restaurant was not totally full. I could see open tables. Yes I would come back, but come on. The manager should have known of the situation and made a plan B the weather was in the 70’s they could have used the courtyard. Ok sorry done.“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

“Once again a world class experience with Dawn at Muldoon’s. We love coming to Muldoon’s for the food, the service, the experience and especially to see Dawn. She makes the visit special every time! Thank you Muldoon’s for being a pilar of the of the Carmel community and thank you again Dawn! P.S. order the banana cream pie and thank me later #Rockstar“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday. I could go back today!(lbs)
Atmosphere, Service, Food EVERYTHING was amazing. We asked our waitres(Leah)so many questions 😂 And she had answers an honest opinion for all of them. We listened and was not disappointed😌“

“Ask for Sarah, excellent service, drinks, and food!!“

“Came here after the Indy 500 after we realized the sports bars were packed because of the Pacers game. We love our Jets at home and really just wanted to eat some warm good food after being out all day long.
THIS PLACE WAS BUSY. Wait time said 25 minutes and it was just about right on. The guy at the counter asked everyone who came in what they were waiting on, checked it, and gave an update. The line was working quickly and you could just tell everyone in there was ON IT. Bake, toppings, and accuracy were just as good as we get at home. A nice finish to a long exhausting day. Good management and good staff are refreshing to see - keep up the good work guys :-)“

“LOVE the Mural of the King too!“

“Amazing food, friendly and quick service!!“

“Good times! Solid staff!!“

“We go here often to enjoy music and some appetizers. We took a seat at the sofa like we have many times. 15 minutes in, we noticed only the bartender and no other staff. Another 15 minutes and no service. Off we go. We have had many wonderful evenings at Adagio, not tonight.“

“Recently always a top notch service here. I'd be selfish to say I wish the current crew here would stay indefinitely. They do such a great job of recognizing their return customers and getting great drinks out on time. We'll be returning again.“

“If you’re looking for the gold standard of cold brew, Java House is it. Their signature brew is incredibly smooth, never bitter. It’s my go-to spot for catching up with friends or meeting colleagues because the atmosphere is just right. Plus, their seasonal menu drops are always creative and worth the wait!“

“Fun and enjoyable! Listened to him play in the past and tonight it was just so much fun for everyone. Enjoy!“

“My favorite hobby is trying local joints from places I travel too. This adventure led me to this joint. I had the Spicy Bee & Bazbeaux Special (half & half). Both were good, but would totally get the Bezbeaux Special again…so tasty! If you enjoy light beers, I recommend Daredevil from a local brewery. My only con is the bottom crust wasn’t as done for me, but that is a personal preference (I typically ask for well done pizza). Would completely recommend to anyone looking for a pizza joint with a vibe!“

“Stopped by the Starbucks on W Main St in Carmel, and it turned out to be a solid location overall. The store itself is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room to sit and a nice, open layout. Restrooms were clean, which I always appreciate, especially at a busier spot like this. For how busy it was, the place was packed, but the staff clearly had a system that kept everything moving. I did have to wait a bit longer than usual for my order, but given the volume of customers, it made sense. The biggest downside was the parking lot, which felt messy and unorganized with cars constantly weaving in and out. Once you’re inside, though, the experience is much better. A good stop for coffee if you don’t mind navigating the chaotic parking.

Efficient: Yes
First-Time Friendliness: No
Would I Return: Yes

“We only stopped by for a beer. The service was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food looked good but we already ate. Ordered the Church Milk Stout and it was delicious and smooth. At over 6% one was enough. Tried the Jack Ringo. Very hot finish!“

“Best staff on Sunday mornings. They work hard to keep Carmel caffeinated.“
