Aldo's Cafe, Margaret River

Aldo's Cafe is a relaxed main-street cafe in the centre of Margaret River, and it welcomes dogs at its footpath tables out the front. It is an easy coffee-and-cake stop while you are wandering the town strip with the dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating at the front, with tables and chairs on the footpath so the dog can sit beside you and watch the street. Indoors is for diners, so plan to sit out front. Staff are generally happy to bring out a water bowl on request, but a portable bowl is handy on warm days.

Good to know. Aldo's is known for good coffee, fresh sandwiches, homemade cakes and quick light lunches, in a casual main-street setting that suits a short, relaxed stop rather than a long sit-down.

Getting there and parking. It sits in the main shopping precinct in central Margaret River. There is free street parking along the main street and side car parks behind the shops, with easy pedestrian access.

Nearby with the dogs. The Rotary Walk Track is close for a dog-friendly stroll, local parks give the dog room to stretch, and many shopfronts along the strip are happy to have a leashed dog walk past.

Mornings are pleasant for a footpath table before the strip gets busy. On hot afternoons, the front tables can catch full sun, so check for shade.
