Best dog friendly dog restaurants in London

[Nina1013]

Can anyone help - Kensington/Mayfair/Knightsbridge area would be ideal, in an ideal world serving steak.

I am getting mainly cafes when Google searching, but I know I have seen dogs all over - I just haven’t been paying attention!

As an aside to the “dogs in restaurants” debate, as a PP said, Gaucho has really gone downhill since being taken over a few years ago. I would just give the restaurants you like a call and see what they say.

Aaah the usual dog hating
Op, we went to London last summer. We were camping an hour away and took him in for the day. A spaniel so tube carrying was fine, was summer so a picnic in the park was easy.

But to answer you question, not a steak restaurant,sorry, but we did have a fabulous Italian in covent garden if you want details. Dog friendly and the knackered dog just slept under the table .... oddly....

Yes please!
Ours is a spaniel too, and we love Covent Garden.

Cocktails too and a lovely rest after being tourist for a day
Novelty toilets!
Carrying dog is fine and most passengers said 👋

Oh wow, I’ve eaten here before and it’s the last place I would have ever imagined being dog friendly! Thanks so much, it’s a fab restaurant!

Thank you. I’d seen the Kensington one but the Mayfair one has made my day! Smith and Whistle’s dog menu will top trump any birthday presents I could buy!

It's compulsory to lift dogs on the escalators in the tube stations/train stations

Absolutely sick of dogs everywhere, especially restaurants and shops. WHY do you have to inflict them on the rest of us.

I avoid all dog restaurants, and I know loads of people who do too. I think there will be a backlash soon. Can't come soon enough.

It's so irritating when dogs are on the tube, especially when it's busy.

The one here in Glasgow is. There was a beautiful and beautifully behaved retriever in when we visited on a quiet lunchtime.

It wasn't
But I have got the tiny violin out

Precisely. I am now doing the same with accommodation providers who advertise as dog friendly. But perhaps I should bring my cats - beautifully clean and house trained, a little noisy - Siamese so their cuteness outweighs this surely?, and the food starved one - well she would make sure there was no food waste at all. Can't see a problem at all.

it really does appear to just be becoming more and more normalised

Yes, this is the problem.

The demand is coming from a growing number of entitled dog owners who anthropomorphise their pets. I’m absolutely sick of dogs in eating establishments, it’s disgusting.

Agreed
What a sad user name
So angry when there is so much going on in the world
OP hope you enjoy wherever you go
You can always hide the thread now so you don't need to see comments from those with little joy in their lives

Recently back from the Philippines and if you go to a mall, all the dogs are either in pushchairs, or those on a lead are wearing nappies.

I have a lot of joy in my life. I am popular, well-liked and well-thought of. I am kind and helpful.

I just can't stand dogs in restaurants or shops. And I consider people who drag their dogs with them everywhere to be thoroughly selfish, inconsiderate arseholes, without a single thought for those of us who are allergic, or simply don't like the idea of dogs where we consume food, be that because the smell puts us off our meal, or we have valid concerns due to bad experiences of dogs trying or sometimes succeeding in stealing our food. My friend witnessed a waitress trip over a dog as it darted out from under the table when another dog walked in. It looked like she was very badly hurt.

Carlotta on Kensington High Street which is also part of the Big Mamma Group is dog friendly as we recently found out. Whilst waiting in the very small and cramped bar area for our table for half an hour, a dog licked my leg then was seated on the table adjacent to us at dinner, actually seated on a seat in the booth next to his owners. This restaurant is £££ so I truly shocked. Personally I will never visit again because of this but your dd may like it.

well you're welcome to do that aren't you?

Most taxis are happy to take dogs, OP, and if you have (or download) the Addison Lee app you can order a specific one - just go to book a car and scroll down to Pet Select.

We don't take our dogs to restaurants, but I never mind if other people do. We seem not to come across the numerous ill-behaved monsters that plague most of Mumsnet, though. Except at home, which is why we don't take them to restaurants 😅

Hope you and your DDs (daughter and dog) all have a great time!

I absolutely love dogs but totally disagree with them in a restaurant. It's inconsiderate to those who may have allergies/phobias first of all but it's also, in my experience, an affectation and attention seeking behaviour. Not saying that applies to you OP but that's what I'd think if I saw you in Gaucho with a spaniel.
