SALIS cafe

SALIS is a family-run cafe at 178 Carlisle Street on the Balaclava side of St Kilda, serving Balkan-inspired food and barista coffee. Warm, welcoming staff and a relaxed feel make it an easy stop with a dog.

The dog setup. Per its listing details, dogs are welcome both inside and out. The footpath tables on Carlisle Street are the pick for people-watching, with indoor seating handy when it is cold. Bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for burek and cevapi, a strong run of homemade cakes, and good vegan options. Open Monday to Friday 7am to 2:30pm and Saturday from 7:30am, closed Sundays.

Getting there. Free street parking on Carlisle Street is limited, with time-restricted parking on side streets such as Nelson or Pakington. Trams 3, 3a and 16 stop nearby at the St Kilda Library.

Nearby with the dogs. The St Kilda Botanic Gardens are a short walk for a green-space stroll, and the Carlisle Street strip has plenty more to explore.
