50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Seattle

“Il Nido is one of the best Italian restaurants Seattle has to offer! 🇮🇹

We had an absolutely fantastic meal here, with every dish delivering on flavor. We started with the house focaccia, prosciutto, and burrata, followed by the Neah Bay king salmon, mafaldine, and tagliatelle. Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. And save room for dessert—the tiramisu and cheesecake were both divine!

The service was excellent, and the setting is just as lovely. Housed in a converted home near Alki, Il Nido has a warm, intimate atmosphere that makes it perfect for a special occasion or a memorable dinner out.

Make sure to book a reservation, as walk-in availability may be limited. It’s not an everyday casual meal, but the quality of the food and the overall experience make it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!“

“Oyster poor boy was the best sandwich ever“

“Great sandwich and friendly staff! Will go back“

“Authentic, fresh, and entirely delicious. The homemade cannelloni pasta noodles and filling were absolute perfection! Fantastic marinara! And the pizza… amazing. So much for leftovers! And I haven’t even mentioned the kindness of all of the staff. Can’t wait to come back to this gem!“

“🌿 Ambience:
The shop is very clean and bright. Through the glass, you can see them making ice cream inside the workshop~

🛎 Service:
You can sample the flavors before deciding which one to buy, and the staff is very patient~

👫 Queue:
This was crazy. We started lining up at 3:20 PM and didn't manage to buy until 3:55 PM~

🍧 Flavors:
It feels like their specialty is blending yogurt and ice cream, so all the ice cream has a nice, tangy Greek yogurt flavor~ It’s not overly sweet and has a smooth texture~

* 🍧 Ubecoconut: Taro flavor mixed with coconut chunks. The combination of the tangy yogurt flavor and sweet coconut chunks is very unique~

* 🍧 Miso caramel: This flavor is very special with a stronger tart taste~ Worth a try~“

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!“

“Wow, this food was so incredible and unique. We got a brisket waffle sandwich, fried chicken waffle sandwich, Nelly scramble and breakfast salad along with several cocktails and everything was absolutely delicious and special. The owner served us and made sure we were very well taken care of out celebrating our friend’s bday on a Monday afternoon. Thank you very much - canNOT wait to come back!!!“

“Cool bathroom. Nice location. Friendly staff. I didn’t have a drink but was told they were pretty good. Portions are large. Vegan selections are limited.“

“I don’t give 5 * reviews often but I’m impressed. For a Random bar they have really good food- fancy salads, chicken parm to die for, nachos like 1990 is calling and service like a well trained group that cares. Clean, sportsy and cozy- well done! The locals love you so stay please🙏“

“Your food and drinks are amazing! Had a burger with a BUN for the first time in a VERY long time! I'd pretty much given up on gluten free buns. The peach sour and the beer was delish! Felt so good to know I could eat anything on the menu and not worry about any cross contamination!“

“OMG! I just ate a Lilikói shortbread cookie. I found them at Uwajimaya. This is the best cookie ever!!!! Thank you Patrick’s!! 💜“

“Their local beer selection is impressive. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food is exceptional and is reasonably priced especially for what it is. The atmosphere… awesome. So much investment in detail with the custom doors, furniture and decor. It definitely feels like a passion project. Seems like the best places are. I can see myself becoming a regular here.“

“One of my favorite Japanese restaurants (not to mention the oldest in Seattle) and it has never disappointed me. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and warm. It’s a difficult time we are in with the pandemic of 2020, but Maneki has transitioned to take out, which it never did before, and is so organized that it blew my mind when I saw how clearly labeled each item was when I got home. I could easily tell which was part of the teishoku 定食 or “set meal.” Support this small business because it needs us now more than ever. 01 DEC 2020.“

“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.“

“A real Southern meat 'n' three, right here in Seattle! I'm so glad I stopped in. It's down-home cooking made with love and plenty of flavor. The menu isn't huge and I've tried most of the items, so here are my thoughts:
• House Smoked Meatloaf: Absolute must-try. My favorite item on the menu. Tender, moist, and seasoned all the way through, improved only by the delicious chipotle tomato jam.
• Hot Honey Cornbread Fritters: Definitely don't skip this one, either. Eat em' fresh for the most luxurious combination of crispy, tender, sweet, savory, spicy, and overall heavenly.
• Red Potato Salad: Delicious and surprisingly light! Not your everyday potato salad—I'd definitely recommend trying some.
• House Pickle Chips: Crunchy and fresh, like good pickles should be. An excellent addition to balance out the heavy mains.
• Banana Pudding Ice Box Cake: A unique take on a Southern classic, but don't expect a traditional banana pudding!
• Rotating Seasonal Dessert: When I visited, it was a peach cobbler cheesecake and it was absolutely divine. If you're not feeling the banana pudding, I doubt you can go wrong with whatever other dessert they have available.
• Sweet Tea: Another rare find in Seattle, the sweet tea is actually brewed sweet and it's delicious. Plus the owners let me top it off before I left!
• Braised Pork Shoulder: Very flavorful and moist, but could use a little less salt and a little more acid.
• Braised Rosemary White Beans: Good, but probably my least favorite item on the menu. They could be a bit more thoughtful—they taste like canned beans with some chopped rosemary stirred in.
• Miso Honey Butter Green Beans: The sauce is excellent. They'd be even better with fresh (not canned) green beans.
• Charred Maple Glazed Carrots: Love the balance of sweet and spicy!
• Marinated Slaw: A little bit elevated but still comforting, with some poppy seeds and a little bit of horseradish or something similar to cut through the mayo.

There are only about 8 seats inside, but it's near the lake so it's great to take out for a little picnic. The prices are also super reasonable.

The owners were extremely warm and kind during my visit—even the little one! It's clear that Zax is run with care and passion.“

“The cheese is amazing!!! It's a must each time I go to Seattle.“

“Their ham and cheese empañada is the best I have ever tasted! Their pastries are delicious!“

“We enjoy Harry’s for special occasions, tonight we came for a couple of items in mind and we should have came earlier as they had sold out of the entree. Our server Jesse was more than apologetic and rescued the evening with authentic hospitality. Excited to return for our next evening out at Harry’s Beach House.“

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎“

“Superb food and staff! Excellent cocktail game and I love their Moroccan wines. Brothers Khalid and Aziz are top shelf people and owners. Every time we take guests there for the first time, they love it and often say it was one of their best meals ever! Get the harissa veggie, squid Steak and tenderloin for sure. Great specials always!“

“Phenomenal restaurant. The best fresh fish I've had in this area, and at an incredible deal (for the area). The owner is super nice and welcoming, the food comes out faster than should be possible for the fact that I can see them cutting the fish fresh. Took like 1-2 minutes to get my food at 11:45 on Friday, there was no line. At around 12:15 there was a consistent line with 5ish people.
My only wish is that they were open on weekends.“

“Lovely. Small but precise menu. Escargots cooked with plenty of garlic, olive oil, and parsley...divine to mop up with excellent bread. The half chicken was generous in size (will end up being three meals) and cooked perfectly if a tad too salty what with the copious amount of lardon. A truly sweet establishment.“

“Musang is absolutely some of the best Filipino food you will ever have. They put their heart on the plate and it's an experience to remember. I'll be back.🥰“

“There are places that claim to make good sandwiches. Valhalla makes great sandwiches. I have had two competitors sandwiches this week and I was so disappointed. Valhalla puts out a product that’s swings way above its price point. They put “gourmet” in gourmet sandwiches.“

“Great experience! The view and atmosphere is amazing. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Restaurant is very clean, except the restrooms, that was an opportunity.
We ordered two Luau plates, one with beef and one with pork. Beef was delicious, very well marinated. Pork was ok, very avg. Sides all tasted great. Also ordered malasadas, not as good as Hawaii's but very tasty.
Service was very transactional similar to a fast food restaurant.“

“Delicious lunch and sold us some pastrami to take home! Friendly and fun place to catch a bite.“

“I just discovered this place this month and have already been back a second time. Excellent sandwiches, and quite affordable for West Seattle ($10 per sandwich with no additions). So far I've tried the pork, grilled chicken, and meat loaf bahn mi. All great. Will return!“

“Such a lovely and convenient location. Helpful, friendly service. A simple yet elegant atmosphere ♥️☕️“

“Really good BBQ!! We will be back to try the whole menu!“

“Bomb tacos and I love the burrito bowl. El Pastor is my fav.“

“Best coffee I have had in Seattle hands down.“

“Food and service was excellent!“

“friendly staff, great coffee. Will definitely be back for more.“

“love sitting on the patio on a warm day and enjoying a cold delicious cocktail. The wings are tasty, the sunday cheesesteak is dynamite. they serve a terrific smoked old fashioned and many drinks on the cocktail list are spectacular. throw in friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere and you’re all set! love this place.“

“Cheesy biscuit just melts in your mouth when they're fresh from the oven. Now I wonder how best to reheat the biscuit once home to reproduce that experience???“

“The barista’s are always welcoming and warm. Their lattes are dreamy! The pastries are fantastic!“

“Molly moon’s is my favorite place to get ice cream, all there flavors. I wish they bring my favorite ice cream it strawberries 🍓 balsamic so delicious 🤤.“

“Great beer, especially their hazy IPAs. Friendly service and good food. The vibe/atmosphere was just okay, but we came for the beer. Also liked the loaded tots. Good location near many of Seattle’s downtown attractions. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.“

“This was, without a doubt, the best sushi I have ever had in my life. I would go here every day of my life if I could.“

“I absolutely loved my dairy free raspberry marzipan cake ice cream. I got wooed by the smell of the fresh waffle cone but really I didn't need to pay the extra for that. My husband however really didn't like his ice cream saying it was way to salty. I think al the flavours are salted, so definitely more for an adult palet. There are bench seats here.“

“Awesome sandwiches and atmosphere.“

“Fabulous customer service from Suzanne ! I mixed up an order and she was able to fix it and was very understanding.“

“Tucked down an alley but bright signs lead the way. Had the spicy bulgogi beef bowl with pot stickers. Wonderfully delicious!! Thank you!“

“Love Chuck’s. Been to several locations and always have a blast. Can’t speak highly enough of the selection. The taps rotate constantly, lean PNW oriented but always have a variety. The staff is kind, they offer snacks and merch, they are family / dog friendly. It’s just a special place. Thanks!“

“lIncredible craft cocktails and delicious food (don't forget to try the cake!) But the attention to detail in the beautiful wood design of the bar and fixtures, the decor, and the down-to-earth staff make this my favorite spot in the city!“

“Every single thing we tried there was absolutely amazing!
I can easily say that it was one of the best (or perhaps the best) pizzas I have had in Seattle!

The koobideh kabob was also really good and the sides were so tasty!

We also tried their falafel and it was also one of my favorites in the city so far.

Chef Gourarz was exceptionally nice and friendly and made sure we were taken good care of!

The place is super lovely, especially when the weather is good but they also have a few indoor seating areas for when it is colder. Also, you can always take the food for to go too!

I highly recommend you checkout this place if you haven’t done so already!“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“Charmingly tucked away in Pike Place Market's atrium, you might side-eye the lofty pasta prices for counter-style service, just like I did, until... BAM! You just ate the freshest pasta with height of the season specialized ingredients. You know, like they do in Italy, and it's worth every penny. Have you ever had a walnut pesto with sauteed fiddlehead ferns, leeks, and aleppo pepper flakes? I can't say enough good things about how amazing it was and you get to watch the very cool, friendly crew make everything in the open kitchen. I did pass on the $14 wine pour because that's not right for lunch. That would get me a whole carafe in Italy.“

“Best Salmon EVER!!!! And what a fun crew working there too!!!! These folks can cook, I HIGHLY recommend the Salmon and coleslaw!!! Next time I’m up in Seattle, I’m definitely going back to them!“

“Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Bartender Justin is extremely accommodating and friendly. Liberty is an amazing new home bar. Will be frequenting regularly.“
