Peter Rabbit Cafe

Peter Rabbit is a leafy garden cafe tucked off the West End of Hindley Street, a covered courtyard of timber tables, umbrellas and fairy lights in the middle of the CBD. Dogs are welcome in the garden, which is the whole appeal here: a brunch spot where your dog can settle in the shade beside you.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the outdoor and covered garden seating only, not in the indoor dining room. The garden runs to picnic tables with umbrellas plus a large covered communal table, so there is genuine shade on a warm day. Keep your dog leashed and close to your table. There is no pet fee, and staff will usually bring a water bowl on request.

Good to know. This is one of the busiest brunch addresses in the city, so book ahead rather than chancing a walk-in, and aim for the garden when you reserve. The kitchen leans to creative breakfast and brunch plates with solid vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, alongside good coffee and house juices.

Getting there and parking. The cafe sits at 234-244 Hindley Street. The free city tram stops on North Terrace, a short walk south. Metered street parking runs along Hindley Street and the side streets and is often free on Sunday mornings; a Wilson Parking carpark sits about 100 metres along Hindley Street for off-street parking.

Nearby with the dogs. Light Square (Wauwi) is a few minutes east along Hindley Street for a quick leg-stretch, and the River Torrens Linear Park (Karrawirra Parri) is a short walk or quick drive north for a longer waterside walk.

Come on a weekday morning if you want the garden calm; weekends fill fast. Easy, central, and genuinely set up for dogs rather than just tolerating them.
