10. Urban Bistro, Dubai Media City

This incredible, home-grown café in the city’s most media-centric area caters to pups so much- they might as well set up a doggo cafe in Dubai. This Dubai Media City Deli is a great spot for coffee, a chill breakfast, or lunch and brunches- sometimes with options to bring the doggies too.

Imagine them playing around with other pups. Social season.

5. Reform Social & Grill, The Lakes

The Lakes is already quite the spot for anything family-friendly, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this British gastropub would allow dogs to join us for meals.

Take your pup out on a Saturday lunch with the besties- and watch them live their best lives outdoors.

Plus, imagine the photo-op moments.

4. Jones The Grocer, Sheikh Zayed Road

When in doubt, Sheikh Zayed Road it out.

Jones The Grocer has been a staple, household name for anyone and everyone interested in boujee dining but still family-friendly. The Sheikh Z branch has an awesome outdoor seating, that looks even better at night (hello fairy lights!)

Not to mention the grocery and food options that you just KNOW will taste as fresh and organic as can be.

Grab your fur-baby, head on out AND don’t miss out on a ‘grammable moment. There’s an unbelievable sunset view- for daaaaays.

3. Socialicious, JVC

Anyone’s who’s ever visited Thailand knows that the food there is one of the main components that make it such a great place to travel.

Think of all the red Thai curry, yam khai do and pad thais- except housed in a gem in one of Dubai’s family-friendly neighbourhoods. Spend your summer afternoons here, on a day when the weather isn’t too bad, and you’re guaranteed to love it!

Plus, they ‘love your dogs more than you do,’ so that’s gotta be reassuring.

2. Irish Village, Al Garhoud

Known for bringing little Ireland to ole Dubai, this village has any and every resto and pub (or both) that you can imagine.

One of its attributes is thanks to its delightful vibe, that is both welcoming and feels a little like home.

Even if you’re not Irish, your doggos can freely choose where they’d want to accompany you as you sip from your pint- and they’re hydrated on some H2o.

1. Arrows & Sparrows, Greens

And last but not least is this friendly neighbourhood café that sits beautifully at The Greens.

It’s home-grown, founded by the same owners to Friends Avenue (so that should tell you how good it is), AND is exceptionally chill.

Lattés and morning cuddles with your little pup by your side is something you won’t regret.
