The Rustic Olive

A popular Mediterranean restaurant at 95 Redcliffe Parade with water views across Moreton Bay. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, so it works for a sunny lunch or an evening meal with the dog along.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor seating, which sits on the footpath and promenade out front. Staff are dog-aware and can bring a water bowl on request; carry your own as backup. The pavement tables suit a settled dog parked beside or under the table.

Good to know. Known for pastas, pizzas and generous shared plates, with a separate vegan menu. Servings run large and the bay view is the setting.

Getting there. Street parking on Redcliffe Parade gets busy at peak times and on weekends. Try the Bee Gees Way parking area or adjacent streets like Sutton Street. The seaside path makes for a pleasant approach on foot.

Nearby with the dogs. The Redcliffe seaside path is directly opposite for a walk before or after, Bee Gees Way is a few minutes away (dogs on lead), and Settlement Cove Lagoon is a short foreshore stroll.

When to go. Book or arrive early for weekend meals when the strip is full. Good for a longer sit-down lunch with a calm dog.
