Dog Friendly Restaurants

Spring is a great time to dine outside with your canine companions. Here are a few of our favorite dog friendly restaurants in Orange County.

One of our favorite restaurants is The Lazy Dog Cafe located in Huntington Beach on Beach Blvd, near the 405 Fwy. The Lazy Dog Cafe is a dog theme restaurant. Pictures of dogs cover the walls. The bar area is shaped like a dog house. Mints in a bowl at the front desk are shaped like dog bones. If you order an ice cream sundae, it may come in a dog bowl. The menu has something for everyone and the patio is very nice.

Arriba in Fountain Valley on Brookhurst Street, near Talbert Avenue, is another one of our favorite restaurants. The food is healthy Mexican style and they have an outside eating area. You order your food at the counter and then you can watch your food being prepared. The kitchen is visible and very clean. After you receive your food, you can dine outside with your canine friends at the picnic tables.

Huntington Central Park is home to a great place to dine with dogs. There is a restaurant called The Park Bench Cafe located inside the park on Goldenwest Street, between Slater and Talbert. All the tables are outside on the grass. Dog Lovers can be seen having breakfast and lunch with their canine companions at their feet. This park is a great place to walk with your dogs and there is a dog park on the other side of the park near Huntington Lake.
