Baby Su

Baby Su is a lively pan-Asian eatery on Alinga Street in Canberra city, near the Alinga Street light rail stop. It leans loud, trendy and busy, and takes dogs at its outdoor tables rather than inside, so it suits a settled dog and an owner who plans ahead.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, set on the footpath, which makes for good people-watching but also a busy, close-quarters spot at peak times. Outdoor seating is limited, so book a table and mention you are bringing a dog. Staff often bring out a water bowl, but pack your own collapsible one to be safe.

Good to know. The kitchen does Japanese and Korean-inspired street food, bao, fried chicken, dumplings and waffle fries among the favourites, with a fun cocktail and sake list. It draws a crowd, especially evenings and weekends.

Getting there. Paid street parking is on Alinga Street and around Braddon, with paid garages such as Wilson Parking on Marcus Clarke Street within walking distance. It is extremely close to the Alinga Street light rail stop, so leaving the car behind is easy.

Nearby with the dog. Garema Place and the city pedestrian areas are a short walk for a post-meal stroll, and the Braddon precinct nearby is popular for footpath walking, with an off-leash dog park on Ijong Street a short walk away for a proper run.

Come off-peak, ideally a weekday or early sitting, if you want an easy outdoor table with a dog. Good for social, unflappable dogs comfortable in a busy city setting.
