36 Bank Cafe

A casual neighbourhood cafe at 36 Aberdeen Road, in the heart of the Altona shopping strip. It is a straightforward dog-friendly stop for the footpath tables, and a handy bite a few minutes' walk from the beach.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on-leash in the al fresco seating on the footpath along Aberdeen Road. Ordering and inside seating are people-only, so plan to sit outside with the dog. The outdoor area is pet-friendly and often has a water bowl out.

Good to know. This is the first metro-Melbourne outlet of Rosie's Chicken, so fried chicken and the schnitzel wrap are the drawcards, alongside specialty coffee. Open weekdays, breakfast through mid-afternoon.

Getting there. Street parking on Aberdeen Road and the surrounding streets, though it can be busy in the shopping strip. Altona Station is a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Altona Beach and its long paved waterfront path are a few minutes' walk for a stroll after your coffee.

A quick weekday stop when you are already on the Altona strip.
