Alfresco's Garden Cafe

Alfresco's Garden Cafe on Eumundi Noosa Road is a relaxed, Mediterranean-leaning spot in a garden setting, and it is a genuine local favourite for owners eating out with a dog, with open-style dining that makes it easy to settle a leash beside the table.

Dog access. Dogs are welcome in the spacious outdoor garden dining area on a leash. Staff are known to bring out a water bowl, but carry your own just in case on a hot day.

Known for. Modern Mediterranean and Australian brunch and lunch dishes, live music, and good value, including a burger and beer deal and a regular happy hour.

Getting there. The cafe sits just outside the main Eumundi town centre with free on-site parking, which is a real advantage on Wednesday and Saturday market days when street parking near the markets fills fast.

Nearby with the dogs. The Eumundi Markets and main street shops are a short walk or drive away, and Matso's Eumundi on the main street is another well-known dog-friendly stop for afterwards.

When to go: weekday mornings are quietest. On market days (Wednesday and Saturday) expect a fuller garden area, so arrive early if you want your pick of shaded outdoor tables.
