Che Bon Restaurant

Che Bon is a small French restaurant at 37-41 Cherry Street in central Ballina, with outdoor tables where dogs are welcome. It is a more intimate, sit-down dinner spot than most dog-friendly venues in town, so the outdoor seats are the ones to ask for.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, where your dog can settle beside you while you eat. Indoor seating is for the dining room only, so plan on an outdoor spot. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Good to know. The kitchen runs traditional French, think steak frites, confit duck and escargot, in a quiet, intimate setting that sometimes features live music. Reviewers single out the friendly service and the relaxed, romantic feel.

Getting there. Free off-street parking is available along with street parking on Cherry Street, in a central and easy-to-reach part of town.

Nearby with the dogs. The Richmond River walking paths are close for a pre or post-dinner stroll, and the foreshore is an easy walk from Cherry Street.

When to go. Book ahead and request an outdoor table when you do, especially for dinner. Good for a quieter sit-down meal with a calm dog at your feet.
