50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Pelham

“The Best Culinary Thing to Happen to Pelham—Ever.
I am not exaggerating when I say The Pelican Room is the most exciting culinary addition Pelham has ever seen. Full stop.

My family moved to Pelham from Williamsburg, Brooklyn fifteen years ago—back when every corner had a hidden gem, every block had a vibe, and great food was just expected. We’ve always loved Pelham, but we definitely missed that city energy, that edge, that level of craft. For years, Bistro Rollin filled that void with its warm bistro soul—a place that actually reminded us of Pastis and Balthazar.

But The Pelican Room?
It’s on a whole other level.

From the moment you walk in, the décor is absolutely stunning—resplendent, intentional, elegant without being stuffy, and effortlessly cool. You instantly feel transported. It’s the first place in Pelham that genuinely gives off that “you are somewhere special” vibe.

And the food… my God. Every plate is perfection. Not just good—top-notch, dialed-in, chef-driven, thoughtful in every detail. The flavors have depth. The presentations are gorgeous. You can taste the confidence and creativity in every bite.

This is the first time in 15 years that I’ve said, with total sincerity:
We finally have a restaurant that rivals (and in many ways surpasses) the best of NYC.

Pelham needed this.
Pelham deserves this.
And The Pelican Room delivers beyond all expectations.

If you haven’t been yet, go—immediately.
If you have, you already know: this is not just a restaurant.
It is a gift to our town.

Welcome to Pelham, Pelican Room. We’re obsessed already.“

“Ravine and Jennifer are the best ever“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“Not one to usually leave reviews, but this restaurant is an absolute must! We tried the Octopus, Grilled Calamari, Branzino, and Chilean Sea Bass — every dish was cooked to perfection. The food was outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. Truly top-notch. Thank you! Oriana R.“

“Outstanding service!! And the food was delicious!“

“Awesome spot. Really good coffee and atmosphere“

“This place is a true gem. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, perfect for a night out or a special occasion. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. Cocktails were creative and perfectly balanced. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. You can tell there’s real passion behind everything here. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back!“

“I came here because of their amazing 4.9 rating on Google Maps, however, I was not amazed by their food. I got curry puffs to start my dinner. The puffs were nice and flavorful. The outside was light and flaky, and the insides were well seasoned with nice texture. The sauce came with was too sweet to my liking. Personally I prefer eating it as it is. I pad see ew with shrimp and added beef($5). The flavor was nice and the shrimp was fresh and clean. However, the beef wasn’t so good especially when I paid $5 extra for them. It was too dry and chewy.
Overall, it’s a standard Thai restaurant. The food was nice but nothing special about it.“

“10/10 love this place … coffee is great, beer is great, the atmosphere at all hours of the day is always on point and the support for the local community just seals the deal.“

“Best Bolognese sauce and fresh homemade pasta“

“Everything we ate at Moroccan Bites by Siham was so delicious! The lamb tagine, pastilla, and couscous with chicken were incredible. You could tell the dishes were prepared with fresh ingredients and with care. And the refreshing mint tea complimented our dishes. One of the best meals I’ve had in awhile. Can’t wait to see their new space on Steinway street!“

“What a hidden gem!! The decor, atmosphere, service and the food here is 10/10!! Our server Omo was great. My party decided to get several sides and dishes to share. Every single thing was delicious !!! The enclosed garden area where we sat as stunning as well as the interior space.

I highly recommended the following dishes:
Tzatziki and spicy feta dips, Garides Saganaki, Sofrito, Papoutsakia and the Dakos salad

If I’m ever in the area I’m coming back for sure !!!“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“I'll definitely be back. The three non-dairy flavors i tried were all great, but I went with the P.O.G and another that was similar to almond joy. The owner was friendly and the seating area was comfortable. There's also outdoor seating available!“

“I go every Monday with my husband , we love this place , the front guy desk with glasses I don’t know his name but he is so amazing he is one of the kind me and my husband loves going there because of how he is treating us nice and good customer service , my husband is a police officer and I’m a teacher so we only get 1 once a week to go on a date and every week on Monday we go to curry N wok because it’s so awesome , the food so amazing too , customer service amazing , I love the DoSa , pakora with their amazing tea , also their sambar Veda super super amazing , this place it’s my go to . They are 10 Star . 💫“

“Had the breakfast burrito 🌯 been wanting to get to this place for a while.

Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good. The chorizo was the one I went with definitely wasn’t disappointed.

I don’t think it’s worth a far drive but if you’re in the area or it’s not completely out your way it’s definitely worth stopping in for a visit. The place does have seating but not a lot of room. There is a park near by and lots of outdoor seating near the area. That’s what I chose to do.

The breakfast burrito price was amazing especially for nyc the food was good quality and really delicious. The sauce everyone was talking about wasn’t over powering. Matter of fact I wish I had more next time I’ll ask for some on the side felt like I needed an extra pump 😂.

I truly enjoyed this place and I’m sure you guys will also the coffee was mid but it’s ok food makes up for it.

Hope you enjoyed this review like always follow me on IG @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob

Hope this helped“

“Great service great products and pricing. Never a problem. All companies should be like Cerini !“

“One of the best places to get delicious Puerto Rican food!“

“Excellent service by Mariano the server. Hands on manager-Jason. The food was excellent & fast. Manager & server were both very attentive & professional. Will definitely be making frequent visits. 5 stars ⭐️ for sure. Awesome work!“

“Ive been coming to Annie’s for over a year and love it so much! Their coffee is top tier! I usually get a latte or their draft La Colombe cold brew. It’s always made perfect they also have a variety of pastries and bagels. I’m a big dog lover and have a doodle of my own and this place is super cute because they have a separated dog friendly back area which you can bring your dog to socialize with others and enjoy your coffee.“

“Great dining experience. Superb cuisine!!“

“Delicious! I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and I’m so glad I did. The price is very reasonable for the amount and quality of sushi. We got the goal omakase for two, it comes with soup or salad and 24 pieces (two of each) and two rolls.

There’s a small counter seating enough to fit two people. Inside is clean and no frills.
Favorite pieces are the scallop that’s lightly torched and the mackerel. I also enjoyed the tuna pieces, honestly all of it was very delicious.

Will be back for more!!“

“I'm here 3x a Week! Ok fine! Lol“

“Perfect spot with the perfect outdoor seating to enjoy the weather!! Beers and empanadas, what more can you ask for? Love that this place has an indoor and outdoor option, ive been here a few times and the employees are always cool. Great for dates, family time, or catching up with friends“

“Great service food is excellent.“

“Second delicious brunch here and service was top notch. Best steak I’ve had in a very long time. Bright but cozy atmosphere felt just right. I’ll be back“

“This is my favorite restaurant on the UES! They always have the best food and I love bringing new friends to try it and fall in love like I have. I also always appreciate how warm the manager, Shawn is. He event sent me home with a few treats for my sick dog. Best food, best atmosphere and best management!“

“This has to be the best Burek in town.“

“I have used Nerwan for a couple of specialty cakes. Very talented, very accommodating, very delicious, and spot on service. This young entrepreneur went from working from home to a beautiful little location. It is a pleasure to contribute to her rise in this field, so give her a shot for your baking needs or just stop by and try her products you certainly will be pleasantly surprised and pleasantly satisfied.“

“Forget bout everywhere else. Joe’s is the place to go. Mozzarella is the best - light airy milky and when you ask for unsalted you get unsalted. Only problem is that they run out of items if it’s later in the day. So go early.“

“Great staff and food. Coming back for the evening music too!“

“Great customer service. The people who work there are knowledgeable and they have the best stock of bikes around. At 5’1” no one ever has bikes in my size. Not only did Piermont have a bike, they had 4 for me to test. Sunny also told me the size I originally thought I needed was too big and his recommendation for the smaller frame was spot on. I ended up with a 44 cm Cannondale Evo and couldn’t be happier.“

“What a great cozy local Ramen spot for Little Neck. Simple menu however everything is on point especially the authentic Japanese style Gyoza 🥟. I have nothing but praise of their food ,service and low prices for today’s standard.

I will definitely be back sooner than later and advise all to do the same.“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“Great coffee and pastries. Our new female service was tops.“

“I pass 3 times threw Tornado Crespes and today I said I want some .omg so delicious Fruits are fresh and juicy 😋. you have to try it“

“I come here for coffee daily and highly recommend it. There’s a lot to love about the place, including the friendly community and consistently good, house-roasted coffee. Not to mention, there’s a decent amount of seating and the WiFi is serviceable.“

“I went to Jack Jones with a friend last night. First time there we had a fantastic time. I highly recommend the short rib grilled cheese. Carol was exceptional. In addition to being perfectly professional, she was charming and funny! I look forward to returning soon.“

“fine dining at its best 👌“

“Friendly clean atmosphere. A great place to take our grandkids too“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“Was there last night. Vlad is awesome. His Martinis are excellent and his service is top notch. Had the ravioli which was amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“We had a great time here, everyone enjoyed their food. They backyard decor was so eclectic and fun. I had a vegetarian dish that was soo good, cheese and zucchini I dont remember the name. Everyone enjoyed their cocktail and their meal. We also got a dessert which was tasty too.“

“I have been a loyal customer of k street food since they opened. I would have given them 5 stars, however lately I noticed changes to certain dishes I am accustomed to purchasing. The food here was always fresh and tasty. I sure hope Mr. and Mrs. Moon ,( owners/ read these reviews, since they're no longer working here. The dish Japchae ( sweet potatoe glass noodle) was a great dish that I always ordered with grilled chicken. It was very tasty with it's own vegetables in the mix. The grilled chicken was always fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, I ordered this same dish and it only has a few slices of red pepper , a few greens. It tasted mostly like a Sriracha noodle. The chicken is not the same. It tasted strange. For one, it isn't the same white meat grilled chicken and even if it's dark meat, the issue was the taste. I'm truly dissatisfied. Please don't change the original dishes that made us fall in love with your establishment. Looking forward to your progress. Namaste 🌻“

“Well what started out as "oh let's try this place" as we hunted for a new brunch spot has quickly become a fam and friends fav. This eatery is a hidden gem in the mount Haven section of the BX...who knew!? Love the rustic casual ,chill vibe & the rooftop seating on a summer day is everything. The food... fresh uncomplicated, there are halal vegan& vegetarian options. The chocolate croissant and vegan carrot cake 🥰 My personal favorite is avocado toast with turkey bacon , arugula or the goddess bowl add a great cup of coffee or Chai latte it's all delish!! To the staff are friendly and helpful. We love this eatery so much we just had my friend's son's wedding there, intimate, beautiful. A must try.“

“If you’re a dayroom yuppie who wants to doomscroll while drinking bland coffee, kindly go to a corporate chain. If however, you want a café that not only has robust coffee & espresso, but a thriving community of artists, poets, and intellectuals, get yourself to the Boogie Down Grind! Like the great cafes of fin de siecle Paris or 50s Greenwich Village, this Hunts Point coffee shop is a nexus for creative people. Don’t miss their Wednesday open mic night!“
