Plain Sailing Elwood

Plain Sailing is a popular brunch spot on Ormond Road in Elwood, a few minutes from the foreshore. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating.

The dog setup. Dogs are fine at the footpath tables along Ormond Road; the indoor dining is for patrons. Staff often bring out a water bowl. The catch is space: this is a busy place and the outdoor tables fill quickly on weekends, so arrive early or be ready to wait with the dog.

Good to know. Reviewers rate the food highly, with dishes like Mediterranean cauliflower and Asian prawn toast, plus good coffee. Service is warm but the place gets hectic at peak brunch.

Getting there. Street parking on Ormond Road and the residential streets, competitive at weekend brunch times. It is an easy walk for most of Elwood.

Nearby with the dogs. Elwood Beach is a short walk away, with on-leash and off-leash zones depending on the season, good for a stroll after eating.
