Blacksmith Highgate

Beaufort Street brunch with the dog on the deck. Blacksmith is a long-running Highgate cafe at 460 Beaufort Street, and its outdoor seating is dog-friendly. It has run here for about ten years and draws a steady brunch crowd, so the alfresco tables are the spot to aim for with a dog in tow.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating only, not indoors. The cafe has confirmed the outdoor tables as dog-friendly. Bring your own water bowl to be safe, and ask staff if you need one filled.

Good to know. It is a busy family spot with a sandpit and kids' play area, and the menu is seasonal brunch and specialty coffee. That means peak-time weekends get full and loud, so a calm dog and an off-peak visit make for an easier sit. Booking ahead through their website helps in busy periods.

Getting there. Blacksmith sits right on Beaufort Street. Street parking is limited and paid along Beaufort and the residential side streets, so allow time to find a bay. Several bus routes run along Beaufort Street if you would rather leave the car.

Nearby with the dogs. Hyde Park is a short walk away, with lakes and shaded paths for a proper leg-stretch before or after. Beaufort Street itself is walkable, with other alfresco cafes along the strip.

When to go. Weekday mornings or mid-afternoons are calmest. Weekends fill early, so book and arrive before the brunch rush if your dog prefers a quieter table.
