H A P I

H A P I is a casual dumpling and bao bar at 465C Dean Street in central Albury, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables out front. It is a fun, low-key option for a feed with the dog if it is comfortable around a busy main street.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the front outdoor tables on the footpath, with indoors kept for people. The tables sit close to the main street, so this suits a dog that is settled around passing foot traffic. Staff have been known to bring out water on warm days, but bring your own bowl to be sure.

Good to know. The kitchen leans into bao buns and dumplings, with crowd favourites like the soft-shell crab bao, pork pot stickers and sticky chicken, plus a strong run of vegetarian and vegan options and a decent drinks list. It is a compact, high-energy spot.

Getting there and parking. It sits on Dean Street in the centre of town. Free street parking is available but can be busy, so try the nearby side streets or the parking behind the buildings as backup.

Nearby with the dogs. The Noreuil Park foreshore on the Murray River is a short drive or moderate walk for a proper leg-stretch, and the Albury Botanic Gardens are close by for an on-leash wander.

Grab a front table when it is quieter, bring water for warm days, and follow the meal with a riverside or gardens walk.
