The Ormond Provedore Cafe

The Ormond Provedore Cafe on North Road is a long-running local favourite that welcomes dogs to its outdoor seating, right down to running its own dog menu.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and footpath seating along North Road. Staff have promoted a dedicated dog menu on the cafe's own social channels, so treats are clearly part of the offer, though it is worth confirming with staff on the day what is currently available and whether a water bowl is out. Keep dogs leashed and close, as North Road is a busy strip.

Good to know. The cafe is known locally for its coffee, brunch and lunch, with solid vegetarian and vegan options. It has been a fixture in Ormond for years, which explains the loyal local following.

Getting there. Free street parking is available on North Road and the surrounding residential streets, plus a nearby parking area. It is a short walk from Ormond Station and on a bus route along North Road.

Nearby with the dogs. Both of Ormond's off-leash reserves, EE Gunn Reserve and Bin Chicken Park, are a short drive away for a run before or after coffee.

Weekday mornings are the easiest time to grab an outdoor table with a dog in tow; weekend brunch service gets busy, so arrive early if you want to sit outside.
