Juan Fifty Kitchen & Bar

Juan Fifty Kitchen & Bar is a Mexican-inspired restaurant on Alexandra Parade, directly opposite Alex Beach, with a dog-friendly outdoor dining area.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining section, which has ocean views but can be breezy. They are not permitted inside the main restaurant. Keep dogs on a lead and under control at the table. Water bowls are often put out for canine visitors.

Good to know. Juan Fifty is known for tacos, nachos, quesadillas and margaritas, with vegan and gluten-free options on the menu too.

Getting there. It is at 167 Alexandra Parade. Street parking runs along Alexandra Parade but gets busy on weekends and sunny days, so allow extra time to find a spot.

Nearby with the dogs. The coastal pathway from Maroochydore to Mooloolaba runs right past the restaurant, and Alex Beach Parkland offers grassed areas for a stretch before or after your meal. The main patrolled section of Alex Beach itself has dog restrictions, so stick to the walkway.

Weeknights are calmer for outdoor tables; weekend lunches with sun and margaritas draw the biggest crowds.
