It’s beginning to look a lot like…patio season! Here’s some patios where your family pooch is welcome.
A dreamy spot located in the French Quarter, and one of the city’s hidden gems. Offering pastries, light lunch fare, and brunch on the weekends, Café Bicyclette’s menu is no joke. Enjoy your meal on their breathtaking patio, which is nestled in the courtyard of La Cité Francophone for the perfect secluded feel. Ample space = tons of spots for you and your furry friends to catch some rays.
Step into this historic brick house and you’ll be treated to freshly baked pastries, aromatic coffee from local roasters, and even some items from Edmonton artists! With picnic tables and cafê chairs scattered around the house’s lawn, Little Brick’s patio is homey, secluded, and the perfect place to take a break while you are out for a walk with your canine companion.
Drafts, deep dish, and a dog-friendly parking lot patio? Campio’s convenient downtown location truly has it all. Part of the Bearhill Brewing family, this local spot offers a large selection of brews that will please even the pickiest palate. Ideal for sunny days filled with relaxation and laughs.
Word on the street is that Rocky Mountain Icehouse’s patio is a favourite among canine-loving Edmontonians. Visitors report that their pets received the 5-star treatment, complete with a bowl of cold water and some treats! While your pup is in paradise, humans can enjoy top-notch cocktails and Albertan comfort food at this classic downtown establishment.
Thanks to recently expanded sidewalks and charming bistro tables, Eleanor & Laurent’s small patio is the ideal location for a slow Sunday morning with your companion. Sample delicious coffee and tasty pastries while people-watching and soaking up the charm of Edmonton’s historic Garneau neighbourhood. [Note: at the time of this writing, the store is due to reopen shortly, after renovations.]
When a restaurant has a section of their social media devoted to dogs dressed in their merchandise, it’s no shocker that dogs are also welcome on their patio. This airy brewery in Sherwood Park is slinging sleeves of several different types of beers, often made using barley from the owner’s family farm.
With all the fab businesses here, they become even fab-er now that we know multiple restaurants allow animal friends on their patios. So whether you’re wanting to dine or drink at Arcadia Brewing Co., Rhubarb Café & Cocktails, or The Ashford House Pub, the whole family is welcome.
