Check Out These Dog-Friendly Restaurants With Your Furry Best Friend 

What could be better than sharing Florida's sunny weather with your fur babies? In our opinion, not much. After watching a spectacular sunrise over the waters of Fernandina Beach and feeling the sand beneath your toes and paws, it's the perfect time to fuel up for the rest of the day's adventure. 

If you're looking for a dog-friendly restaurant for lunch, we've got you! We pulled together a list of the top restaurants where you can bring the whole family, including your paw-some pal. 

Dog-Friendly Lunch Spots

Lunch is calling, and all the seafood lovers can rejoice because Timoti's has your back. You can indulge in a warm and comforting Clam Chowder when the cool ocean breeze blows in during the mild months. Grab a zesty Mahi Taco to enjoy in our outdoor seating on a warm afternoon. Or fuel up and feel refreshed with one of our Poke Bowls. Whatever your fancy, your pup will be right by your side!

Florida's Hispanic and Latin community is a large, vibrant part of our culture. If you want to indulge in traditional Latin meals, Hola! Cuban Cafe is one of many options to get you started. A classic Cuban sandwich will never steer you wrong. But why stop there? With authentic options like their croquetas and Black Bean Soup, you've got a world of flavor to choose from. Remember to grab some tostones while you're there. 

Dog-Friendly Dinner Spots

After an exciting day of beach-going and visiting the plentiful shops, galleries, and events on Main Street, you're probably hungry. We totally understand. A delicious slice of ‘Za might hit the spot! Arte Pizza is an Italian eatery offering classics like Pepperoni Pizza, Woodfire Baked Ziti, and Eggplant Parmigiana. Balance the hearty Italian dishes with a fresh salad for the table because it always feels good to get your greens in. 

España Restaurant & Tapas brings Spain and Portugal's rich and flavorful spices to the table. You can enjoy traditional dishes like the beloved paella and modern treats like their Piquillo Relleno, a stuffed pepper with smoked salmon spread and sea salt on top. Take your pup and have dinner on the romantic garden patio, where you can sit in the shade on a hot Florida day.

And if you want to end the day with some BBQ delights, visit Captain Jack’s SmokeHouse. You'll get mouthwatering southern BBQs like pork, chicken, and burgers with all the fixings. So go ahead and choose a comfortable spot on their outdoor patio and sip on your refreshing sweet tea while your dog lounges at your feet. 

Bonus! Dog-Friendly Cocktail Spots

What's dinner without a cocktail? Delicious, of course! But for everyone who likes to add a tasty libation to their meal, you can look forward to trying these flavorful beverages. Timoti's has you covered with cocktails on tap and the option to create your own drinks. Watermelon Mint Margaritas, anyone?! 

Or maybe you want an early dinner. Join the Happy Hour at The Patio at 5th and Ash. You can order cocktails, martinis, beer, and wine on their Bar Menu to enjoy on their comfortable patio. Eat dinner and sip your drink at this dog-friendly restaurant while you appreciate the warm glow of their outdoor fire pits.

Okay, we cheated with this next entry. We hope you'll forgive us after trying First Love Brewing's in-house brewed beer. Pair your dinner of pizza and wings with their Cardinal Truth IPA with grapefruit and pine notes. Or perhaps you'd like the Lily, with its golden color and notes of citrus, pear, and clove. And trust us, there are more drinks to try while your dog sits lovingly by your side. 

Now that you're full, you can start another adventure with your furry friend with these  Dog-Friendly Activities.
