RAVING is Barking about: Dog friendly Restaurants

Thinking about where to bring your pooch? This week, we will be giving you ideas on where you can bring your doggie to for the weekend or your day out. 


I will be starting the ball rolling with the most basic of things - Restaurants and food places! 


Generally, its difficult to find a place where you can bring your dog out where there can be food. It has to do with some license thing with the NEA where you need a certain license to allow the same place t have dogs. Sometimes, I think its overboard because our pooches are not stray and responsible pet owners like us know what we should do to keep the place clean for you and for me! But this is the reason why most coffee shops, hawkers centers, east coast park and places like that don't allow dogs. But then again, this could be because of halal places? Not sure. 

Ok, here we go- my top 8 choices! (There are only 8 because they are so difficult to find!)  


1. Tanjong beach club 
Clean beaches, sun bed, sea and sand. Paired with alcohol and good food. Beautiful place for you to bring your dog. Generally in Sentosa, you need to leash your dog and they cannot go free. But in Tanjong Beach, its quite safe to let your dog go leash-less. 
Particularly love the Sangria and the steak fries. Super sexy. 


Address: 120 Tanjong Beach Walk

2. Bishan Park - The Canopy @ Aramsa 
There is dog run nearby this restaurant and it is no wonder all the dog lovers know about this place. Great food - especially brunch on the weekends is AMAZING. Dogs need to be leashed. 


Address: 1382 Ang Mo Kio Ave. 1 
Tel +65 6556 1533


3. Urban Pooch @ Balestier 
Food, Grooming, Day care, shopping. Just about anything you need for you and your doggie. 
Check out their website. http://urbanpooch.com.sg/index.html


Address: 530 Balestier Road #01-07, Monville Mansion



4. The Bark Cafe 
Where the Changi Chapel is, this place is tucked away in a little corner of Changi with the serenity of the chapel overflowing into the restaurant. I remember the food to be quite good. Its supposed to be a dog friendly place, but in singapore, dog friendly is just allowing your dogs to be sitting quietly under the table. 
That works, in a weird way. 


Address: 1000 Upper Changi Road North, Singapore
Tel: +65 6545 4118


5. Food for Thought @ Botantic Gardens 
Back when this place was in North Bridge road, this was a hit for food lovers because they served some amazing, fresh sandwiches which is very clean on the palette. Have yet to check it out but seems like since they moved to Botanical Gardens, they have seriously expanded! 


Address: 1 Cluny Road, #B1-00 Singapore Botanic Gardens,Singapore

6. Spruce
You know, when you have brunch somewhere else and when you have brunch at Spruce, the feeling, satisfaction and content, is just different. Good to know that it is a dog friendly place too. Good thing that most of the seats are outdoors, you there is ample place for dogs to hang around there as well. 


Address: 320 Tanglin Road, Phoenix Park, Singapore
Tel: +65 6836 5528 


7. Jones the Grocer @ Dempsey 
Somehow, you knew Dempsey was going to make it to this list didn't you? 
Chill out place for a nice beer in the afternoon and some good cured meats and sausages. Excellent way to spend a nice, sunny afternoon. 


Address: 9 Dempsey Road, #01-12 Dempsey Hill, Singapore
Tel: +65 6476 1512 


8. The Playground @ East Coast 
This is the best place in the world. Feel like a coffee? 2 choices, Old Town White Coffee and Starbucks. Feel like mussels? or some Western food? Brusselsprouts and 1 Twenty Six. Prata? Mr Teh Tarik. The whole place is dog friendly. 


Address: Its where the old Big Splash used to be. Go figure. 


Any one got stuff to add?
