Saint Maries

Saint Maries is a wood-fired pizzeria on Tweed Street in Brunswick Heads, a cosy, casual spot with a good drinks list and a reputation for being genuinely dog-friendly. Dogs are welcome both at the outdoor tables and inside, which is unusual and worth knowing on a wet or cold night.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating and, unusually for a restaurant, inside as well, on-lead beside your table. The room is relaxed enough that a dog alongside the table fits in easily. Staff are accommodating; bring a portable water bowl to be safe.

Good to know. The draw is wood-fired, thin-crust pizza with creative toppings, backed by arancini and a solid cocktail, beer and wine list, with tiramisu to finish. Reviewers also mention live jazz, gluten-free and vegan options. Service stays quick even when it is full.

Getting there. Free street parking runs along Tweed Street and the side streets. It gets very busy on weekends and through school holidays, so consider booking ahead.

Nearby with the dogs. The Brunswick riverbank is a short walk for a pre or post-meal stroll, and the Main Beach dog exercise area is a short trip for an off-leash run.
