Portside Cafe

Portside Cafe sits right on the water at 15 Field Street, near the Huskisson public wharf and beach entry. It is a casual waterfront spot away from the main-street bustle, and its flat, outdoor setting makes it an easy stop when you are walking with a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcomed in the outdoor dining areas. The seating is flat and reached directly off the adjoining public path, so there is no awkward step or squeeze with a lead. Water bowls are typically about in the outside seating, but carry your own to be safe.

Good to know. The draw is the position, with views over Currambene Creek and the bay, and standard brunch and lunch fare. Reviews are mixed (3.2 across 425), with wait times a recurring theme, so allow extra time on busy mornings.

Getting there and parking. Street parking is available on Field Street and nearby, though it gets tight in peak summer. It is a short walk from the main-street shops.

Nearby with the dogs. The cafe is opposite the beach entry, and the paths along the public wharf are good for a post-coffee stroll. Check the council off-leash signage before letting the dog off the lead.
