Ichi

Ichi is a central Japanese restaurant on Clarence Street in Port Macquarie, and it takes dogs at its outdoor patio tables. A good option if you want sushi and sashimi rather than the usual cafe fare with the dog along.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor patio seating only, not indoors. The patio sits off the main footpath in the heart of town, so it is easy to settle a dog beside the table. Bring your own travel water bowl, as water is not guaranteed.

Good to know. The draw is genuinely good Japanese food: fresh sashimi, sushi rolls and modern dishes, with friendly service. It runs more as a sit-down restaurant than a quick stop, so it suits a dog that settles for a longer meal.

Getting there. The address is 22/26 Clarence Street. Street parking is available on Clarence Street and the side streets, with nearby public car parks as a fallback when it is busy.

Nearby with the dogs. The Town Green foreshore is a short walk for a pre- or post-dinner stroll along the water, and the coastal walk is accessible from the same area.

When to go. An earlier sitting on a mild evening is the easiest with a dog on the patio. Good for owners who want a proper dinner out with a calm, settled dog.
