Perfect for the whole family, this fun-filled sports bar has an outdoor play area for the kiddos and their outside terrace is pet friendly, which means you can enjoy a chilled-out meal with none of the fam feeling left out.

ZAYED CRICKET STADIUM

With a large pet-friendly open terrace area and views out to the training pitches beyond this is the paw-fect place for you to sit back, relax, and enjoy some me-time with mans-best-friend. Open from 9AM, this is a great spot to grab brekkie, stay for lunch, or catch the sports action at dinner time. Or maybe just grab a drink and watch the world go by? Paw-fection.

LE NOIR

ST REGIS RESIDENCES SAADIYAT

With a huge doggy-friendly community in the St Regis Residences it makes total sense that this bustling restaurant should allow four-legged-friends on their outside patio. With a wide menu ranging from a quick Starbucks coffee and freshly made pastry to a fully-fledged meal, this is a fab place to relax and enjoy some really great grub.

Here at Best Bites we're big fans of the popular Mimosa Weekend Brunch, but spaces on the patio are limited so book early to avoid disappointment. BB+ members get 15% off a la carte and the Friday Cin Cin brunch at a special price of AED169.

Time: Daily 7AM – 11PM

STARS N BARS

YAS MARINA

After summer renovations Stars N Bars will soon reopen their stardeck and if you are popping over to Yas Marina during the day why leave Rover at home? Dogs are welcome in the outside area until 6PM, so you and your pooch can enjoy some winter sun and a quick pint (or two) and some good ‘ole pub grub.

Time: Daily 12PM – 2AM (dogs allowed until 6PM)

YAS BAY

This has possibly got to be one of the friendliest places for the four-legged kind in Abu Dhabi. With the cooler weather upon us, enjoy a stroll with your furry friend along the waterfront promenade and you’ll have the pick of the litter for some awesome outside dining spots.

It should be noted that some of the Yas Bay restaurants do sometimes impose size restrictions, so it would be best to call and check beforehand if you’re planning for Beethoven to tag along. Here are some of our faves:

·     ART MARKET | 20% OFF WITH BB+

·     THE LIGHTHOUSE

·     EMMY SQUARED PIZZA

·     AKIBA DORI

Enjoy weekend or weekday jaunts with family or friends and have your pup tag along! Guaranteed pats from the friendly staff, and more likely than not, other friendly patrons!

Sit on the outside tables and enjoy people (and pup) watching in this busy family-orientated park.
