Perk and Palate

Perk and Palate is a modern specialty-coffee cafe on Mitchell Street, and the footpath seating makes it an easy dog-friendly stop in the middle of the CBD.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating on the Mitchell Street footpath, which is the spot for watching the street go by. Staff are used to accommodating dogs. Water bowls are generally available, though bringing your own is the reliable call in the heat.

Good to know. The draw is specialty coffee plus a modern brunch and lunch menu with vegetarian and vegan options, and the plating earns a lot of the local praise. Service is quick for a city stop.

Getting there. It sits at 24 Mitchell Street. Metered street parking runs along Mitchell Street and the side streets, with the Civic Centre and Manigurr-ma car parks a 5 to 10 minute walk away. It is very walkable from central CBD accommodation.

Nearby with the dogs. Bicentennial Park is a few minutes' walk with clifftop views and grass, and the Darwin Waterfront is a 10 to 15 minute walk with wide paths and lawns. Dogs stay on-lead along the Esplanade cliff walks.
