52 South Cafe & Restaurant

52 South Cafe & Restaurant sits on a quiet residential road in Rosetta, turning out Sri Lankan-inflected Tasmanian brunch and dinner with a casual, family-oriented vibe. The draw for dog owners: a calm outdoor dining area on a low-traffic street, where well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to sit with you while you eat.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor seating area only. Keep your dog leashed and settled at your table. The staff have a reputation for warm, attentive service and are generally accommodating to pets, but confirm water bowl availability when you arrive rather than expecting it as a given.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for its Sri Lankan twist on local produce, serving all-day brunch alongside dinner service. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, closed Mondays.

Getting there. On-site parking is available, and there is free street parking on Marys Hope Road. The cafe is easy to reach from the Hobart and Glenorchy areas via Main Road.

Nearby with the dogs. Montrose Road Park and the Derwent riverbank are both within walking distance for a pre-meal or post-meal stroll. For another dog-friendly feed, Saint Hugo's in Montrose and Agent Cooper in Glenorchy are short drives away. If your dog needs a proper run first, head to the Chapel Street Reserve Fenced Dog Park in Glenorchy.

Weekend mornings get busy with local families, so if your dog prefers a quieter table, target a weekday brunch or an early weeknight dinner.
