OAR

OAR is a lakeside restaurant at West Lakes Shore open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week. The outdoor seating area sits directly on the water, giving dogs a calm, paved space away from Military Road traffic.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor lakeside seating area, a flat paved or decking space adjacent to the water. Staff are friendly and water bowls are often provided, though it is best not to assume one will always be waiting. Call ahead to confirm an outdoor table, as weekend spots fill quickly.

Good to know. OAR is known for its breakfast, including large sandwiches, vegan options and well-regarded coffee. Popular orders include zucchini fritters and avocado toast. It holds a 4.2 rating from 570 reviews, largely on the strength of its lake views.

Getting there and parking. OAR is at 100 Military Road, West Lakes Shore, right on the lake. There is a car park near the building, though it gets busy, so use it rather than relying on side streets.

Nearby with the dogs. Backup options include Nosso Café and THE CAFE SYNDICATE in West Lakes, or The Spare Room at Grange.

OAR suits owners after a relaxed, sit-down breakfast or lunch by the water with the dog along. Go early on a weekday for a quieter table and an easier park.
