The Peppertree Restaurant

The Peppertree is a casual modern-Australian restaurant on Gymea Bay Road, and it added a larger outdoor seating area where dogs are welcome. It covers breakfast through dinner at prices reviewers rate as good value for the strip.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the outdoor patio seating, which was expanded to give more room than a typical footpath setup. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own water bowl as one is not guaranteed.

Good to know. The kitchen leans modern Australian with handmade pasta, seafood specials and generous portions, plus coffee and fruit frappes. Reviewers call out the fish pie, lamb shoulder, crispy-skin barramundi and the homemade chips. Rating sits around 4.2 across 210-plus reviews.

Getting there. Free street parking is usually available on Gymea Bay Road and the surrounding residential streets, and it is a short walk from Gymea station.

Nearby with the dogs. The Gymea Bay Road strip is easy leashed walking with several other outdoor cafes, and the quiet residential streets nearby suit a longer post-meal wander.

Best on a weekend when the outdoor area is the main draw, or a quieter weekday evening. Good for calm dogs who will settle through a longer sit-down meal.
