Patrick’s

Patrick's is a homely brunch spot at 200 Fitzroy Street in Dubbo, running an all-day breakfast menu out of a garden-style veranda. The coffee is the talk of the town among locals, the service gets consistent praise, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which makes it an easy stop on a morning walk through the neighbourhood.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor veranda seating rather than indoors, settled on-lead beside the table while you eat. Water bowls are often provided, though bringing your own is a safe bet on busy mornings. The garden setting is relaxed and shaded, and the veranda gives a dog room to settle without being in the flow of traffic between tables.

Worth knowing

The menu leans classic brunch: eggs benedict is the standout, and reviewers specifically call out the version served with freshly cooked salmon rather than smoked. The reuben sandwich, french toast and salmon dishes all get mentions, there are vegetarian and vegan options, and the baked treats, including homemade scones, rotate through the cabinet. Chai lattes and a solid tea selection sit alongside the specialty coffee. Hours are 8am to 3pm Tuesday to Saturday, 8am to midday Sunday, closed Mondays, so plan the visit around a fine morning when the outdoor tables are free.

Getting there and parking

The address is 200 Fitzroy Street, Dubbo. There is free on-site parking plus street parking nearby, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible, which makes arriving with a dog and gear simple. It is a short hop from the Dubbo CBD.

Make a day of it

Victoria Park is close by for an on-lead walk, and the Macquarie River corridor offers longer stretches. If your dog needs a proper run first, South Dubbo Park Fenced Dog Park on Palmer Street is a fully fenced off-leash option a short drive away, with Buckingham Dog Park as another council-maintained choice. The Tracker Riley Cycleway gives you a long shared path route to tack onto a coffee stop.
