36 Dog Friendly Restaurants in San Jose

Dog Friendly Restaurants in San Jose http://www.heavenlygreens.com/blog/dog-friendly-restaurants-in-san-jose @heavenlygreensWhen the weather turns warm, don’t you just love to eat outdoors? More and more eateries are offering al fresco seating, which gives us more choices than ever. But what if you want to take your canine companion with you? The Health Department won’t allow your pooch inside, but happily there are plenty of dog friendly restaurants in San Jose with outdoor seating.

What are you in the mood for? Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, a cup of coffee, a cold beer or an ice cream cone, you and your dog are in luck if you live in San Jose. Check out all these dog friendly restaurants – some of the places on our list are regional or national chains but a lot of them are neighborhood gems, known and loved for their strictly local flavor. You may be familiar with some of these dog friendly restaurants, but we hope this list will encourage you to check out others.

Some of these places have received particularly high ratings from the “dog parents” that frequent them, so we’ve noted those with an asterisk. (Remember, these ratings are from patrons who visited with their dogs, not dog-less diners who may have posted reviews ith no regard for canine compatibility. We’re all about dogs with this list.) You and your pup will have to determine your own rating.
