gourmet falafel

Gourmet Falafel is a Middle Eastern eatery in the CBD known for handmade falafel, pita wraps and bowls built on organic chickpeas and fresh produce. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating, which makes it an easy, healthy lunch stop with the dog on a walk through the city.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor footpath seating rather than inside, in line with food-service rules. It is a fast, casual spot rather than a long sit-down, so it suits a quick wrap with the dog at your feet. Water is sometimes offered, but bring your own bowl, especially at busy lunch times.

Good to know. The falafel is the headline, rated among the best in Adelaide, with generous halloumi, hummus, labneh and fried eggplant, and strong vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Lunchtimes get very busy, so going a little earlier or later makes for a calmer visit with a dog.

Getting there and parking. It sits in the CBD near the Central Market and Gouger Street dining precinct. The Central Market UPark on Grote Street is the closest off-street parking, with metered street parking on Gouger, Grote and Market Streets. The Victoria Square tram stop is a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Victoria Square (Tarntanyangga) is a short walk for a quick leg-stretch, and the Gouger Street precinct has other dog-friendly footpath seating to follow up with a coffee.

Avoid the peak lunch rush if you want room for the dog; mid-afternoon is calmest. A quick, genuinely good-value dog-friendly bite in the heart of the city.
