Dining Doggie Style

It's a beautiful day, you're walking your dog and, suddenly, you're feeling puckish. Where can you go to grab a bite, or relax with a nice cold drink with your pet? Luckily, many outdoor cafes allow your pet to join you.

Of course, if you bring your pet with you, you must be responsible for its behavior. Pooch couldn't be in the way of the servers, annoy other customers or make too much noise. The same rules parents should observe when they take their kids to a restaurant.
The following restaurants are pet friendly, but keep in mind it's always better to check for restrictions on areas, pet size, hours, etc.
