Eis Haus

Eis Haus is a German ice cream cafe at 47 Mount Barker Road on Hahndorf's main strip, the kind of quick, sweet stop you make while walking the town. For dog owners it works as a footpath treat: dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating out front.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables out front, right on the lively main street, so a dog comfortable with passing foot traffic will be happiest. Dogs are not allowed inside. Bring your own water bowl, as the stop is short and a quick drink helps on a warm day.

Good to know. The signature is spaghetti ice cream, gelati pressed into strands and topped to look like a pasta dish, alongside hot raspberry sundaes and a well-regarded range of authentic German gelati. It is a treat stop rather than a meal, open into the evening.

Getting there. Free street parking runs along Mount Barker Road and the side streets, but it gets competitive on weekends, so arrive early or be ready to walk a short way.

Nearby with the dogs. The whole main street is a good on-leash walk, the Hahndorf Academy grounds nearby give you a quieter spot, and the historic residential side streets are pleasant for a stroll away from the crowds.

Best on a warm afternoon or early evening. Good for a quick treat between longer stops with the dog.
