Dog-Friendly Restaurants and Cafés in Paris: 58 Picks
Paris has a reputation as a dog-friendly city, and it's half true. Plenty of cafés will slide a water bowl under the table; plenty of others will stop you at the door, and no booking site tells you which is which until you're standing there with the leash.
These 58 dog-friendly places in Paris welcome pets, from all-day diners to starred dining rooms, and each was cross-checked across the guides locals trust. Walking the dog in the sun? Try our café terraces or restaurants with a terrace.

How to find dog-friendly restaurants in Paris
In France, whether dogs are allowed inside is up to each restaurant, and policies change. So treat this list as your shortlist, check the insider tips on each place page, and mention your dog when you book. Here's where to start.
Casual spots that love dogs
Holybelly, in the 10th, is the all-day breakfast place with the queue out the door: stacks of sweet or savory pancakes, eggs any style, specialty coffee. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and so are families, with high chairs and changing tables. Also in the 10th, ChoCho serves Thomas Chisholm's French, Catalan and American small plates, like sand carrots glazed with orange, and welcomes pets. More ideas in our breakfast and 10th arrondissement pages.
Starred dining, dog included
This is the surprise of the list: some of the city's grandest tables let your dog in. Le Taillevent, two Michelin stars in a 19th-century mansion in the 8th, welcomes pets, along with a 4,000-bottle cellar and flambéed crêpes Suzette. Le Clarence, also two stars, welcomes well-behaved pets and is wheelchair accessible. David Toutain in the 7th and Le Pré Catelan in the Bois de Boulogne accept pets too. See more of that level in our Michelin 2-star restaurants.
Parks and outdoor spots
Some results are made for a walk: Rosa Bonheur sits in the Buttes-Chaumont park, and La Recyclerie has a big terrace in a former railway station in the 18th. On a sunny day, combine this list with our bars with a terrace.
Where to look and what it costs
The 8th arrondissement holds the most results, followed by the 17th and the 7th. About half the places are top-end, so for a cheaper meal with your dog, filter by price or check our affordable restaurants. Need step-free access too? Some places here overlap with our wheelchair-accessible restaurants. Then open the map and find the nearest table that will say yes to both of you.
