Dog-Friendly Sydney: Where to Eat and Stay

Over the years, eating out with Mochi, Teddy and Milo has taught me that "dog-friendly" can mean anything from one lonely pavement table to treats, water bowls and staff who greet the dogs first. These are the Sydney cafes, restaurants, bars and stays where both the welcome and the food made bringing them along feel like a pleasure rather than a negotiation.

Caffè Bartolo, Surry Hills
