Pets may be the cute factor of the internet, but they’re actually so much more than that. Some people consider pets to be their best friends, confidants or even their children. There’s no denying that pets hold a special place in our hearts. There’s nothing worse than that ‘puppy dog look’ as you’re headed out to a restaurant with your friends.

Time to push the guilt of leaving your furry friend at home aside. I’ve put together a list of top 5 pet-friendly hangouts in Cape Town, so that you can your best friend will never have to part ways again.

FOODBARN, NOORDHOEK 

Foodbarn is known as an awesome fine dining restaurant. But did you know that your pets can dine in style with you? The Foodbarn restaurant serves beautifully presented foods made with a whole lot of love. They have a great love for your friendly pets as well, as pets are allowed in the outside dining area.

The friendly waiters provide water for your thirsty dog and your pups can play on the grass while you enjoy your Foodbarn dining experience.

Golden hour…#foodbarn #noordhoek
