We had a look at some of the best places to bring your pooch, and we found the following locations.
As pet owners, we know the joy that comes from spending time with our dogs, and we want to enjoy day outs. Sometimes it can be a little tricky, however, if you fancy a bite of food while you're out walking, and you're not sure where to go with your dog in tow. So we had a look at some of the best places to bring your pooch, and found the following dog-friendly restaurants:

Luckily, this beautiful place is a dog-friendly restaurant and welcomes well-behaved dogs. It is incredibly spacious too meaning it is ideal for the kids and families in general.
2. Hollywood Café, Hollywood, Wicklow
This beautiful café is a little gem and it welcomes well-behaved dogs too. They serve fresh seasonal and local produce while serving up delicious dishes.
