Chanceux Cucina

Chanceux Cucina is an Italian restaurant on Oxley Street in Portarlington, known for wood-fired pizza and house-made pasta, with an outdoor terrace that welcomes well-behaved dogs on the lead.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, not indoors. Keep your dog leashed and settled beside the table. Bring your own water bowl, as the venue doesn't list one as standard.

Good to know. The kitchen is best known for hand-stretched pizza dough, bolognaise, and pumpkin gnocchi, plus a curated wine list. It's popular for dinner, so book ahead, especially on weekends. Opening hours are evening-focused (closed Sundays and Mondays), so confirm current hours before you go.

Getting there. Chanceux Cucina is at 140 Oxley Street, near the Portarlington Golf Club. Free parking is available on-site and on the street.

Nearby with the dogs. Portarlington Foreshore is a five to ten minute walk away for a stroll before or after your meal, and Portarlington Recreation Reserve offers open space nearby. The Grand Hotel Portarlington has a large dog-friendly outdoor area if you want another option in town.

Best for an early dinner booking with a calm dog who's happy to settle under the table while you work through the pasta menu.
