The nearby beach on Melkbosstrand is a popular dog walking area and Die Damhuis provides the perfect ending to the day as you both settle in for a wholesome meal.

CEO of Die Damhuis, Steven Jooste told Business Insider, “To completely relax and unwind [animal owners] like to take their pets along on outings so they don’t feel like bad pet parents for leaving them at unattended.”

Dog-owners are to adhere to the rules while their pup enjoys their meal at Die Damhuis.

Jooste shared that dogs are only allowed outside of the restaurant and must remain on their leashes. If their dog is disruptive they will be removed from the restaurant.

The rules apply to staff members as well to ensure the safety of both the animals and the staff as food is delivered to the owner who then gives it to their pet.

In order to tackle the criticism of animals serving a heath hazard, Die Damhuis only allows pets on the outside of the restaurant.
