30 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Orcas

“We enjoyed our 40th wedding anniversary here. Can’t say enough about the staff and the food. They were so welcoming to our Terrier Charlie T. And talk about convenience...“

“Great breakfast- good service- good coffee- clean-“

“My sister and I both ordered chai tea lattes. They were served in glass mugs and never cooled down. We drank very little since it was so hot, but what we did drink was a little watery. Disappointing. But what wasn’t disappointing was the breakfast wraps. These are huge and stuffed with flavor. We easily could have just shared one and still left full.“

“Both my husband and I agree that this might be the best breakfast we have ever had. Definitely the best breakfast sandwich we have ever had. Loved the witches brew cider and the scones were out of this world. The lemon blueberry one was so moist and cakey and amazing - not the dry hard ones you normally get a breakfast spots. And the Olga rising sandwich with the jam was like heaven in a sandwich. We did ask for extra jam which was a great call on our second time there. I would come back to Orcas just for this sandwich alone.“

“Pro Life Tip: when you see a line coming out the front door of a business - GET IN LINE! I was in Eastshore (from Nebraska) to purchase some coffee roasters from a local seller. I had some time to kill before my ferry back to the mainland left, so was walking around the cool downtown of Eastshore. My attention was drawn to a line of humanity spilling out the front door of one business and out onto the sidewalk. A quick Google told me it was a bakery and so I did the most sensible thing and JOINED THE LINE. When I got inside I was delighted to see Kouign Amann at the front of the pastry case. I had only recently learned of this demanding, difficult to make pastry and it was ALL I WANTED. A short wait later one was in my bag/Crumb Catcher! Here it is a week and a half later and i’m STILL THINKING ABOUT IT and writing this review. It was a-MAY-zing and I have little doubt that ANYTHING you choose will be just as memorable. These guys could probably FRANCHISE their knowledge & processes in places like Aspen, Park City, Jackson Hole, etc. - but then again, maybe not. Maybe you need the passion of two classically trained pastry chefs, in their own little wonderful corner of the world (Orcas Island, WA). In any event, if you find yourself on the island, you MUST make Brown Bear Bakery a stop. You will NOT regret it. How ANYONE could give this place ANYTHING less than 5 FULL STARS boggles the imagination.“

“Best Pizza this side of Venice, Italy! Who knew? Owners are really friendly also. Only downside to this place is it is not open enough!“

“Stumbled across the smell coming from this place at 6:30am before anything else was open. The food and coffee was great! I was impressed by the service, the food and the coffee. Thank you!“

“i’ve photographed a couple weddings at orcas island winery and it’s a lovely spot. the winery has a wide lawn for sipping wine and hanging out, a beautiful venue for weddings or events. it’s intimate without feeling small, stylish without trying too hard. perfect place to visit for a slow afternoon or to rent for a celebration that feels relaxed and local.

“See the photos for review.“

“We felt compelled to leave a good review for the Setsunai team.
We first came here in Dec 2020. It was wonderful experience that we still have sweet memories about the food dedication, clean food, atmosphere and service there.
We only came back after 5 full years and wanted to stop by and only realized they have recently relocated to a new address.
Quick check on recent Google reviews and got a bit skeptical. We went in anyway to try. The food was at the same exceptional quality we remembered and the team did not disappoint!
I personally have been to many famous ramen places, in Seattle, SF, NYC, Tokyo, Osaka, HK, SG etc this is absolutely one of my favorites. You can tell the team make the noodles, broth, pickled vegetables and everything in house. They use the cleanest ingredients (no addictive or garbage). We tried the Shoyu Pork and Black sesame salmon. I would agree it’s not a conventional ramen place you envision. But I recalled I watched a food series where a popular ramen store in Japan added tomatoes into their ramen and got critics. At the end of the day, good food and passion stand above everything.
Though I must say I missed the little wooden hut it once located. Now it’s a mix of old Style American diner and ramen. I understand the team wanted to revive a historic landmark on the island and I respected it.
It’s worth every penny and the long trip here again in 5 years!
Thanks!“

“I thought the pulled pork was super good! And I’ll go back for the mac n cheese any time - yum! My husband is a fan of their brisket and he even he had enough to have left overs for breakfast too. Yikes Matthew! Next time we’ll branch out with other menu items, though it’ll be difficult to leave such good ones in the kitchen! My only problem is we don’t get to Orcas often enough to enjoy this tasty place!“

“Awesome service! Beautiful day, delicious wine!“

“I love Medio, from the high quality food and drinks to the atmosphere. Their matcha is amazing and so are their other specialty drinks which are fun and delicious. Try the kimbap, chorizo burrito, or any of their baked goods, you won’t regret it. The cafe space is amazing for San Juan. There are very few places were you can hang out on island and these guys have it going on with the vibe they’re setting up, from the decorations to the variety of nooks. There’s a fantastic fireplace and some adorable options for kids. Really great spot. I recommend it to local friends and visitors.“

“A+ pizza and chef. Josh cooks from the heart, and his customers are treated like family.“

“Great food & happy people always a smile“

“Such an awesome little brewery!! A total locals place with delicious beer and food (the smoked salmon and cheese are insanelyyy good)! Cali was the Beertender and she was so sweet, knowledgeable and fun to talk too!!
There’s a room on the side that’s super private and great if you have a few dogs with you, tons of outdoor seating as well. Definitely will be coming back next time we are on Orcas :)“

“Madrone Cellars has introduced great wines and ciders to our community with fun events. 👍👍“

“Wonderful feel to the place. I'm 81, just moved on-Island. Wife asleep from COVID vaccine reaction. No food in the house (recently moved here). Had seen their ads about "best hamburger on Orcas" and -- at 8:45p -- decided, "Why not?" Great decision. Absolutely cooked medium rare. Wonderful waitress -- very easy-going. Likely to become a regular dinner place for us. Highly recommend.“

“This place is top notch! Local, farm to table Italian food. They have several starters that could be combined for a meal with no regrets. They make their own pasta, light as a feather, nice sized portions, still safe to also get a starter or two. Entree options are always spectacular and the wine and beer selection curated to suit your meal. In season on Wednesday nights they do smash burgers (local meat or house-made veg patty, both delish). Burgers are 3:30 pm until they run out, cooked in the outdoor wood oven. I’m told the pizzas will be back soon, too. These are not ordinary burgers and pizzas, they are art. Dessert? One could come here just for dessert. The brunch served on the weekends is so ridiculously good. Not to be missed. This is not fast food, it’s sit a spell and savor food. Choose a table in the garden on a warm, sunny day. Inside it is cozy, too, with a communal table in the back or private tables in the dining room. Recommend. 👍 ♥️“

“I love it here! They’ve got the best espresso“

“Great happening place in quite island!!“

“It’s an incredible view with an incredible array of wines, and the wine whisperer has a bubbly demeanor as sparkling as the finest champagne!“

“Amazing pizza! Love seeing a great pizza place on Lopez!“

“This place is amazing! The pizza is delicious the drinks are perfect and the staff is phenomenal. They are dog friendly on the patio and I will definitely be going back everytime I visit the island. 😊“

“Long-time (~25 years) favorite San Juan Islands destination. Kathy and crew are great hosts. Amenities equal to, or greater than any other, and at an affordable price.“

“Excellent establishment, great employees and coffee“

“Great spicy Mac and cheese!“

“Though it’s a taproom only, they’ve partnered up with Oyster tale next door so you can order some amazing food directly from your table!

The beer selection here is amazing, they also have GF and wine options. Great selection of games, and the views can’t be beat.“

“I absolutely love this place. Hands down best breakfast in town.“

“Great breakfast and mimosa. I especially loved the tater tots in lieu of hashbrowbs.“
