San Diego might be the most dog-friendly city in America, and the restaurant scene proves it. From the bustling patios of Little Italy to laid-back beach cafes in Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach, you'll find endless options for dining out with your four-legged companion.
Little Italy dog friendly restaurants are especially popular—think al fresco Italian dinners where your pup can people-watch alongside you. But the dog restaurant scene in San Diego extends far beyond one neighborhood. North Park breweries, La Jolla brunch spots, and Hillcrest cafes all roll out the welcome mat for well-behaved dogs.
We've curated San Diego's top dog friendly dining destinations so you can explore the city's incredible food scene without leaving your best friend at home. Every spot listed here has confirmed outdoor seating where dogs are welcome, water bowls on deck, and staff who won't give you the side-eye for bringing your pup.
