Bar Lucio(Kensington)

Bar Lucio is an Italian cafe on Anzac Parade in Kensington, serving paninis, pasta and coffee with a footpath verandah that takes dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor verandah and footpath tables, but not inside the main dining room. Staff are friendly toward dogs, though it's worth bringing your own water bowl rather than assuming one will be offered.

Good to know. It's a genuine neighbourhood spot for Italian staples: paninis, focaccia, fresh salads and sweet treats, with a solid coffee reputation. Casual rather than fine dining, which suits an outdoor table with a dog at your feet.

Getting there. Street parking along Anzac Parade and nearby residential streets like Gardeners Road is limited. The cafe sits on the Anzac Parade bus route and close to the light rail, so public transport is the easier option.

Nearby with the dogs. Raleigh Park and Kensington Park are both close by for a walk before or after.

When to go. Outdoor tables are first come, first served, so weekday mornings or early weekend brunch give you the best shot at a verandah seat with your dog.
