EQ Cafe & Restaurant

An Italian-leaning cafe and restaurant with an in-house bakehouse, sitting centrally in the Gungahlin town centre on Hinder Street. A solid all-day option if you want a proper breakfast or a pizza with the dog parked beside you outdoors.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor and footpath tables only, not inside the dining room. The seating is on paved ground, easy to secure a dog next to your chair. Keep them close to your table, as the walkways get busy. Water bowls are sometimes put out, but bring a collapsible bowl so you are covered.

Known for. Filled-to-order cannoli, Bakehouse Eggs Benedict, stone-baked pizzas and locally roasted coffee.

Getting there. The address is 1/35 Hinder Street, Gungahlin. Street parking and public car parks sit nearby, and it is a short walk from the Gungahlin Place light rail stop and the bus interchange.

Nearby with the dogs. Yerrabi Pond District Park is a short stroll away, with a sealed walking loop and dog drinking stations along the way, so you can pair a meal with a decent walk.

It gets busy across breakfast and dinner; a mid-morning or mid-afternoon table is the easiest with a dog in tow.
