Tel Aviv Yafo Ballina

Tel Aviv Yafo is an Israeli and Levantine cafe-restaurant on Piper Drive, Ballina, with footpath tables where dogs are welcome. It is a relaxed, all-day spot built around breakfast and brunch, so it suits an easy stop with the dog rather than a formal sit-down.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor and footpath seating, where your dog can sit beside you on the pavement. Staff are accommodating, but bring a collapsible bowl and a few treats of your own. Indoor seating is for the dining room, so aim for an outside table.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for shakshuka, slow-cooked lamb with hummus and flatbread, and strong coffee, with a well-regarded spread of vegetarian and vegan options. Reviewers point to the warm, friendly service.

Getting there. Plenty of accessible street parking sits outside or in nearby bays. If you are walking the dog over, the footpath tables make it an easy step straight from the street.

Nearby with the dogs. The Ballina foreshore and Richmond River paths are a short walk or drive for an on-leash stroll, and the town's off-leash areas are a quick drive if your dog needs a run.

When to go. Breakfast and brunch are the busy windows; arrive a little earlier for an outside table on weekends. Good for a relaxed coffee or brunch with the dog at your feet.
