Mermaids By The Bay

Mermaids By The Bay is a casual waterfront eatery at 2 Bayview Terrace, Deception Bay, with elevated views across the bay. For dog owners the appeal is the outdoor seating right on the foreshore, an easy pairing with a leash walk along the water.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area overlooking the bay, not inside. Water bowls are typically provided outside, but carry your own on a warm day. The area can get busy and noisy, so it suits a dog that settles amid activity.

Good to know. Reviewers rate it for the water views and the food, with the fish and chips, the bacon and egg roll and generous breakfasts coming up often. It leans casual coastal rather than fine dining.

Getting there. Free street parking is available in the surrounding area, and there is a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Nearby with the dogs. A paved foreshore path runs immediately out front, and the off-leash Deception Bay Dog Beach is close by along the bay between Wallin Avenue and Joseph Crescent, so you can walk off lunch on the sand.

When to go. Quieter outside the weekend breakfast and lunch peaks; go earlier or mid-afternoon for a calmer table with the dog.
