Barcella Restaurant

Barcella is a casual all-day restaurant in the Victoria Point Lakeside precinct, and it welcomes dogs at its outdoor alfresco tables looking over the lake. It is a handy stop if you are already walking the Lakeside loop with the dog and want a proper sit-down meal rather than just a takeaway coffee.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco dining area, not inside. Staff are well regarded and will usually bring a water bowl if you ask, though it is worth carrying your own. Mention the dog when you book so they seat you at a suitable outdoor table.

Good to know. It runs breakfast through to dinner and reviewers single out the waterfront and lake views, the paella and lamb shank, and the vegan options, with live music at times. It is a popular pre or post-cinema spot given the Lakeside cinema nearby.

Getting there. It sits within the Victoria Point Lakeside Shopping Centre precinct, which has plenty of free parking including accessible bays, and the alfresco area is an easy flat walk from the car park.

Nearby with the dogs. The flat path around Victoria Point Lakeside is right on the doorstep for a pre or post-meal stroll. For a proper run, the Victoria Point Bushland Refuge Fenced Dog Park off Link Road is a short drive away.
