Lake County dog-friendly restaurants

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Summer is prime time for outdoor dining, and around Clear Lake in Lake County you’ll find lots of decks and patios that welcome well-behaved dogs. In Lower Lake, Danny’s Roadside Kitchen is a true “roadhouse”—no inside seating, just great barbecue with a cult following. On a healthier tack, Wholly Bowl in Lakeport has a dog-friendly patio and turns out good-for-you meals (think chicken teriyaki bowls and Thai peanut wraps) and some of the best vegan dishes in Lake County.

If plain old American food is more your thing, enjoy it on the lakeshore with killer views at Boathouse Bar & Restaurant in Nice, near Upper Lake.

Back in Lakeport, Renee’s Café dishes up fast, casual American fare that customers are welcome to enjoy at dog-friendly outdoor seating.

The Euro Market and Bistro in Lucerne is run by a charming family who owns and takes pride in their business with dog-friendly patio seating. Their breakfast plates are not to be missed.
