Le Jardin Cafe Restaurant

Le Jardin Cafe Restaurant is a French-inspired cafe on Tedder Avenue in Main Beach, with sidewalk seating that makes it an easy, relaxed stop with a dog in tow before or after a wander down the strip.

The setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor sidewalk tables. Keep them leashed and close, since Tedder Avenue gets busy with foot traffic and other diners. Bring your own water bowl to be safe, as on-site provision for dogs is not well documented.

Known for. French-inspired cafe food, well-regarded coffee and smoothies, and a quieter, ambient-music atmosphere compared with some of its noisier neighbours.

Getting there. Street parking on Tedder Avenue and nearby side streets is the main option and gets tight on weekends. The Main Beach G:link tram station is within walking distance if you are coming without a car.

Nearby with the dogs. Main Beach Parklands is a short walk for a stroll, and the Broadwater Parklands coastal path is close by, though confirm leash rules for any beach sections before you go.

When to go. Early in the day suits both the parking and the quieter, calmer atmosphere dogs tend to prefer over a packed weekend lunch service.
