The Captain’s Parrot Cafe

A relaxed waterfront cafe set at the Wynnum Manly Yacht Club on the Royal Esplanade, looking out over the marina. It sits away from the busier village strip, which makes it a quieter spot to sit with a dog while you have breakfast, lunch or a weekend dinner.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor patio and courtyard seating, where water is usually available. Some listings suggest dogs are allowed inside as well, but indoor pet access at food venues changes often, so confirm with staff on the day rather than assuming. The setting is calm, which suits dogs that settle easily.

Good to know. It is known for waterfront dining with marina views, decent coffee and a menu that runs from breakfast through to evening drinks overlooking the yachts.

Getting there. The address is on the Royal Esplanade. There is free onsite parking within the yacht club grounds plus street parking along the esplanade, which makes it easier than the village cafes on a busy day.

Nearby with the dogs. The paved esplanade walkways run right past, linking to the harbour village a short walk away, so it slots neatly onto a foreshore walk.
