Tanja's Cafe & Restaurant

Tanja's Cafe & Restaurant is a family-owned Main Road institution dating back to 1972, and it stands out for dog owners with a genuine fenced dog park built into its outdoor dining area.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome throughout the large, undercover outdoor dining area. At the back is a fenced section where dogs can go off-lead, with three or four tables positioned nearby so you can keep an eye on them while you eat. Staff regularly put out water bowls, and there are no extra fees for dining with a dog.

Known for. Large, generous meal portions, house-baked treats from its own croissanterie, high teas, and a bustling, well-loved local atmosphere that gets busy at peak times.

Getting there. On-street parking is available along Main Road. The cafe is easy to reach by car from surrounding Redland City suburbs.

Nearby with the dogs. Wellington Point Reserve is a short drive away for walking paths, seaside views and beach access, and Main Road itself is walkable to nearby shops.

When to go. Expect it to be busy at typical breakfast and lunch times, so arrive early or be ready to wait for a table near the dog area. Good for dogs that need a bit of off-lead space mid-meal.
