By The Bay Cafe & Bar

By The Bay Cafe & Bar sits in the Wyndham Harbour marina complex at Werribee South, a relaxed spot for coastal dining with water views over the marina and Port Phillip Bay.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which looks straight over the marina. Staff are generally friendly toward dogs and water bowls are sometimes put out, though it is worth asking on arrival. Indoor seating is not available for dogs. Keep dogs on a short leash, 2 metres or less, as with the rest of the marina precinct.

Known for. Modern Australian food with a seafood and pizza focus, plus a solid cocktail list, popular for long lunches and sunset drinks by the water.

Getting there. The venue is at 50 Quay Boulevard, Werribee South, inside the Wyndham Harbour marina. Parking is free and plentiful in the large marina car park right by the venue.

Nearby with the dogs. Werribee South Beach and the marina's paved walking paths are both right next door, easy for a walk before or after a meal. There are also grassy picnic areas around the harbour.

Go for a late-afternoon coffee or an early dinner to catch the water views without the weekend crowds. Good for dogs comfortable settling at your feet on a leash while you eat.
