Dog-friendly restaurants in Cape Town typically allow dogs in outdoor areas such as patios, courtyards, or garden seating – but policies vary widely by venue.

This directory highlights restaurants known to accommodate dogs, focusing on real-world considerations like seating layout, crowd levels, leash expectations, and overall atmosphere. Some venues are relaxed and spacious, while others may be busy or tightly arranged, making them less suitable for certain dogs.
