You’re surrounded by endless possibilities of restaurants and cafes, but don’t know what to do with your sweet pup. Three options.

Option One. Wait till you get home and hope you don’t faint in the meantime.
Option Two. Someone stays outside while the other orders and take it to go.
Option Three. Leave man’s best friend tied up outside, run in for a quick bite.

Secret Option Four. You check out one of these top four spots to stop for some chow WITH your furry pals!
