Kalye Marinas Filipino Grill and Seafood

Kalye Marinas is a Filipino grill and seafood house at 502 Hampton Street in Hampton, and its own socials flag the dog-friendly courtyard by name. It runs from midday to evening most days, later on Friday and Saturday, which makes it a genuine dinner option rather than a lunch-only stop when the dog is along.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the courtyard out the back, which the venue promotes as its dog-friendly space, and there is footpath seating at the front as a fallback. The indoor dining room is off limits. Water bowls are typically provided, but the courtyard is popular and books out, so reserve ahead and mention the dog so you are seated in the right area. Keep your dog leashed and settled; the courtyard has a beer-garden feel as the evening goes on.

The food

The signature is the seafood boil, served in a range of sauces, alongside sizzling grills and Filipino classics like sisig and kare-kare. Desserts run to halo-halo and ube ice cream, and burgers cover the picky eaters at the table. Portions are built for sharing, so a group with a dog in the courtyard eats well.

Getting there and parking

The address is 502 Hampton Street, a short walk from Hampton Station. Free street parking exists along the strip but can be tight at peak times, so try the side streets off Hampton Street rather than circling the main road.

Close by with the dogs

Hampton Beach is a short walk west, and the Sandringham Jetty to Ricketts Point trail threads the foreshore for a proper pre-dinner walk. For an off-leash run, R J Sillitoe Reserve Dog Off Leash Area is the closest designated park. Next morning, Merrymen behind the beach and Lennox next door on the strip are both coffee options used to dogs.

The rest of the suburb is on the Hampton destination page, and the full Victorian list sits in the VIC restaurants index.
