Andonis Cafe & Bar, Stretton

Andonis Cafe & Bar in Stretton is a lively Greek-fusion brunch spot on Beenleigh Road that has gone out of its way to court dog owners, right down to printing a doggy menu. It is one of the more genuinely dog-friendly cafes in the area rather than just tolerant of a lead under the table.

Dog access and setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco area, which is where the on-site car park opens straight onto. Indoors is set up for humans only, so plan on the courtyard regardless of weather. Staff keep dogs on lead in the outdoor zone. The standout feature is the dedicated doggy menu: Puppelato (a bacon-infused coconut gelato) at 9.99 dollars, a Doggy Latte at 4.99 dollars, Pupcakes at 12.99 dollars, and a Little Paw Benedict at 5.99 dollars, so bring the appetite for your dog as well as yourself.

Known for. Big, colourful Greek-inspired brunch plates, generous portions, and an Instagram-friendly presentation that extends to the dog dishes. Expect a busy, family-friendly buzz rather than a quiet corner cafe.

Getting there and parking. Andonis is at 3/1155 Beenleigh Road, Stretton, just off the M1, with an on-site car park plus street parking on nearby roads. The outdoor seating is accessed directly from the car park, handy if you are juggling a dog and a pram.

Nearby with the dogs. Karawatha Forest Park has on-leash walking trails a short drive away, and Runcorn Heights Park is close enough for a post-brunch stretch of the legs.

Go early on weekends if you want a table in the courtyard, since the doggy menu and brunch reputation both draw a crowd. Good for owners who want their dog to genuinely share the outing, not just tag along.
