Ray's Cafe & Patisserie

Ray's Cafe & Patisserie is a busy CBD spot on Knuckey Street with a pastry case to match the name, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out the front.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables, where you can keep them on-lead beside you while you eat. Indoors stays people-only. Water bowls are generally offered, but pack your own bottle and bowl for the dry-season heat to be safe.

Good to know. The patisserie side is the headline, with a strong run of croissants, pastries and cakes, backed by solid coffee and a hearty breakfast and lunch menu. It works well for a quick bite or a relaxed city break.

Getting there. It sits centrally on Knuckey Street. Street parking is available but can fill during busy periods, with paid council car parks close by. It is an easy walk if you are staying in the CBD.

Nearby with the dogs. Bicentennial Park is a short walk away, with green space and clifftop paths over the harbour, and the Darwin Wharf precinct adds a slightly longer scenic waterfront option. Keep dogs on-lead throughout.
