Best Dog-Friendly Dining

The next time you head out to eat--whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner--consider taking your
pooch along with you. There are plenty of dog-friendly restaurants in Sacramento that offer
patio dining to accommodate you both, from a Midtown restaurant (and next-door bar), to not
one but two East Sacramento spots, as well as a bistro in Curtis Park and a seafood place on the
Sacramento River. You can head to these places when you and your four-legged friend want
to enjoy dining al fresco. To ensure your pooch is comfortable while you dine, be sure to bring
a towel or blanket for him to relax on, as well as a travel dog bowl that can be filled with fresh
water upon request.

Tip: While these spots will all accommodate your dog, we've found that service is generally
better morning through mid afternoon, and your dog can expect less attention during the dinner
rush.

Orphan's location, mere blocks from McKinley Park, makes for quite the quandary—eat breakfast or lunch before you take your dog for a stroll at the park, or after? Either way, you and your dog will enjoy Orphan's shaded patio while you fuel up. Seating is limited, so you and your dog may have to wait for a patio table, but the food is worth the wait!

Good Eats has brought a lot to East Sacramento—it's not only a market, but also a place to dine, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Even better, Good Eats boasts a comfortable patio with retractable shade covering, so your dog can join you while you eat. While the Good Eats patio faces busy Folsom Blvd., it's set back off the street far enough to (almost) make you forget where you are.
