Rupert & Hound

Rupert & Hound shares the Seaport waterfront strip with its neighbours, and the name fits: dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, right on the boardwalk with the Tamar in front of you.

The dog setup. Bring your dog to the outdoor dining area, where there is level access straight off the Seaport boardwalk and room to settle a leashed dog beside the table. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own bowl for water rather than counting on one being to hand.

Good to know. The kitchen leans into fresh, locally sourced seafood and contemporary Australian dishes, and the mood is casual and family-friendly. It is a sit-down meal rather than a quick stop, so come when you have time to linger.

Getting there. Address is 30 Seaport Boulevard. Public parking is available within the Seaport precinct, with more street parking nearby along the river. It is a short, flat walk from the city via the Tamar footbridge.

Nearby with the dogs. The Seaport boardwalk runs flat along the riverbank for an easy walk, and the wider Tamar River parklands offer longer routes if you want to stretch the legs after the meal.

When to go. Fine weather makes the outdoor tables, so pick a clear day and arrive before the main rush for the best chance at a settled, roomy spot.
