Combining your love for eating out and your beloved four-legged companion may seem like a challenge most of the time. Fortunately, there's an increasing number of pet-friendly restaurants in Mumbai that are providing pet-friendly menus and facilities that will make you and your furry companions' dining experience enjoyable. Here are some of the top pet friendly restaurants and cafes in the city that will treat your furry friend as an esteemed guest.
Subko Mary Lodge, Bandra
Subko is consistently singled out as one of the most pet-friendly cafes in the city. Dogs and cats are greeted with smiles and cuddles by the staff known for its pet-friendly attitude. Treat yourself to some mind blowing coffee and baked goodies (think buttery, flaky croissants, delicious keema pop tarts and in season strawberry tart) while your pet luxuriates by your feet.
Seesaw, Bandra
This playful all day café at Jio World Drive helmed by Aditi Dugar is another culinary treasure that embraces the dog-friendly dining concept. The lush alfresco area shaded with a canopy and huge umbrellas is a favourite with pet parents. This is where you and your pooch can retire post your shopping sojourn in the mall. The gourmet dog menu holds delicacies such as Chicken with Steamed Carrots & Parsley, Steamed Brown Rice with Hard Boiled Eggs and Vegetables and even a cake of peanut butter and apples. There is also a water station with two levels for large and small breeds. In the meantime, you can relish dan dan noodles, beet & burrata salad, korean chicken lollipops or baked fluffy pancakes with lemon curd.
Shelter By Javaphile, Versova
You and your pet can enjoy some quality bonding time at this new café in Versova. Spread over two levels Shelter By Javaphile boats a live pizzeria on the ground floor, a sun drenched Library Café on level one and an open-air terrace where both of you can drool over gorgeous sea views. Though Shelter By Javaphile doesn’t have a dedicated pet menu as of now (barring boiled chicken and eggs), your fuzzy friends are treated with love and allowed everywhere inside the venue. Even at the beautiful private dining space adorned with silk fabrics and sheer curtains. The café menu includes all-day breakfast specials, smoothie bowls, salads, burgers, wood-fired sourdough pizzas, etc. Watch out for rooftop movie screenings and comedy nights under the stars.
Communion Café, Navi Mumbai
Located in the heart of Navi Mumbai, Communion Café offers a serene retreat for travellers on the go and an inviting space for the local community. The light filled interiors dotted with greenery and a gorgeous alfresco makes for a tranquil setting to spend time with your pet. Besides serving up deliciously nourishing bowls, loaded sandwiches, comfort meals, coffees and smoothies, they also have a range of pet snacks from Lulu & Daisy. Special meals can also arranged on request. Communion Café also hosts special events and activities centered around pets in the al fresco area under the stars. Dogs of all sizes are welcome, making it a haven for dog-loving food enthusiasts in the city.
Light House Café & Bar, Worli
This pet-friendly cafe is perfect if you’re looking for a spot to catch up with friends, and their pups. Dogs are greeted with a warm welcome and guided to a special pet friendly section where they can relax and mingle with other furry buddies. The food doesn’t disappoint - lip-smacking deep-dish pizza, cheesy nachos, hearty burgers, pastas and more. Those with a sweet tooth will love the chocolate fondant. Portable water bowls and pet treats will keep your fur friend happy.
Note: Always keep in mind that keeping your pet under control and well-behaved is important for the enjoyment of all customers.
