Gypsy Burger

Gypsy Burger is a family-run burger spot in the Baines Crescent business pocket of Torquay, using beef from the family's own farm. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard seating, which makes it a relaxed weekend dinner with your dog alongside.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard, which diners praise as comfortable and social, while indoor seating follows standard Victorian rules. Staff are reported to be accommodating. Bring your own water bowl, as a busy burger kitchen will not always have one out.

Good to know. The draw is locally sourced beef burgers, loaded fries and cauliflower bites, with solid vegetarian options like a cauliflower burger. Live acoustic music runs on weekends. It mainly trades Thursday to Sunday for dinner with weekend lunch, so it suits an evening out rather than a midweek lunch.

Getting there. Find it at Shed 2, 22 Baines Crescent, just off the Surf Coast Highway. Free street parking is usually available on Baines Crescent and around the business area.

Nearby with the dogs. Torquay's beaches and off-lead areas are a short drive for a run before or after dinner, and coastal walking tracks are close by. Check council signage for current off-lead times.

Best for a weekend dinner with the live music, ideally arriving early before the courtyard fills. Good for a settled dog happy in a buzzy outdoor space.
