THAI PATIO Ferny Grove

THAI PATIO Ferny Grove is a highly rated Thai restaurant on Samford Road with a covered, greenhouse-style courtyard that doubles as its dog-friendly seating.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor patio and courtyard area, the covered, lush setting the restaurant is named for. Keep your dog leashed and settled beside your table. Customer reports mention staff bringing out a water bowl on request, but there's no advertised dog menu, so bring your own bowl and treats to be safe.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for its vegan and vegetarian Thai menu alongside the usual favourites, including massaman and penang curries, pad Thai, curry puffs, and mango sticky rice. It's a popular booking, especially Thursday to Saturday evenings, so reserve ahead if you want a patio table.

Getting there. The restaurant is at Unit 7/1300 Samford Road, Ferny Grove, close to the Ferny Grove train line. Free street parking and a car park are available, though both fill up during peak dinner hours.

Nearby with the dogs. Ferny Grove Picnic Grounds and Keperra Picnic Grounds are both a short drive away for a walk before or after your meal, and there are a few local residential parks within walking distance for a quick leg-stretch.

When to go. Book ahead for Thursday to Saturday evenings if you want the courtyard, or aim for a quieter weeknight if you'd rather have the space to yourselves. Good for a relaxed dinner out with a calm dog that's happy to settle under the table.
