Lady Vandeburg

Lady Vandeburg is a stylish American-style burger bar on Timor Street in central Warrnambool, doing gourmet burgers, loaded shakes and cocktails. For dog owners the draw is the street-side outdoor seating, where dogs are welcome.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which opens off the street, not inside the main room. If you are bringing a larger dog it is worth confirming the seating arrangement when you book, since the outdoor space is compact. Bring your own water bowl.

Good to know. The headline acts are the loaded shakes and the gourmet burgers, with a solid cocktail and dessert list and gluten-free options that get a regular workout. It runs casual lunches through to indulgent dinners.

Getting there and parking. Find it at 188 Timor Street in the CBD. On-street parking runs along Timor Street, with more in the nearby side streets, and the area is very walkable.

Nearby with the dogs. Lake Pertobe and the foreshore promenade are a short drive for an on-leash walk, and Blue Hole Reserve nearby has riverbank walking. Check the council's seasonal dog rules before any beach visit.

When to go. The handful of outdoor tables go quickly at peak meal times, so off-peak gives you a better shot at a spot with the dog. Good for a settled dog who copes with a busy street-front.
