Applebys Mediterraneo Bar & Grill

Appleby's Mediterraneo Bar & Grill sits right on the Bass Highway at Boat Harbour, and dogs are welcome in the outdoor lawns and alfresco dining area while you work through a wood-fired pizza or a seafood platter.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed on the lawns and garden seating rather than in the enclosed dining room. The venue's pet policy is essentially "ask when you book": mention you have a dog so staff can hold you an outdoor table. Bring your own water bowl, since there's no confirmed on-site dog bowl.

Known for. Wood-fired pizza, seafood, and a broad Mediterranean, Greek and Italian menu with a family-friendly, sometimes live-music atmosphere. It's a popular stop for people driving the Bass Highway rather than a destination in its own right.

Getting there. The restaurant is on the Bass Highway at Boat Harbour, with its own car park, including room for larger vehicles.

Nearby with the dogs. Boat Harbour Beach is a short drive away for a walk before or after your meal, and the Boat Harbour Lookout gives quick coastal views. For a coffee stop, Seekers Bar & Cafe is nearby, and Seascape Beach House is an option if you're staying the night.

When to go. Weekday lunches are the calmer option since the venue draws a family crowd and can get busy with highway traffic on weekends. Good for a relaxed lunch stop if you're touring the north-west coast with a well-behaved dog on lead.
