Tempest Seafood Restaurant and Teppanyaki Grill

Tempest Seafood Restaurant and Teppanyaki Grill is an absolute-waterfront venue at the Scarborough Marina on Bird O'Passage Parade, doing fresh local seafood and teppanyaki over Moreton Bay views. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor deck, so a long lunch by the water can include the dog.

The dog setup. Well-behaved dogs on-leash are welcome in the outdoor alfresco area overlooking the marina. The main restaurant and the teppanyaki grill room are indoors and are off limits to dogs other than assistance animals. The deck is spacious, which makes it easier to settle a dog beside the table. Bring your own water bowl to be safe, and it is worth calling ahead on a busy weekend to confirm the outdoor area is open and to ask for a dog-suitable table.

Good to know. The kitchen leans on seafood landed by nearby trawlers, with seafood platters, Moreton Bay bugs and barramundi among the regular orders, plus the interactive teppanyaki. This is a sit-down restaurant rather than a quick coffee stop, so it suits a calm dog who will settle for a full meal.

Getting there and parking. Ample free parking sits in the large marina car park right in front of the venue, with flat, paved access along the promenade to the entrance.

Nearby with the dogs. The Scarborough Marina boardwalk runs alongside for an on-leash walk. Jamieson Park is a short walk for green space, and the Queens Beach North off-leash dog beach on Flinders Parade is nearby for a run on the sand.

Best for a weekend long lunch or an early dinner with the sunset over the marina. Suits a relaxed, well-mannered dog rather than a restless one.
