Pelican's Nest Cafe

Pelican's Nest Cafe sits at 143 Wynnum Esplanade, directly across from the foreshore parklands. It is a casual seafood spot with footpath tables and water views, and Brisbane City Council has flagged it among the area's better pet-friendly cafes.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables facing the Esplanade; seating is outdoors rather than inside. Water bowls are usually available and staff are dog-friendly. The position right on the foreshore makes it an easy combine-with-a-walk stop.

Good to know. It leans to plated seafood rather than paper-wrapped fish and chips, with platters, burgers and breakfast. Being on the Esplanade, it gets busy on fine weekends.

Getting there. Street parking runs along the Esplanade but fills at weekends. It is a short walk from Wynnum North station or the Florence Street bus routes.

Nearby with the dogs. The foreshore parklands are straight across the road, with a wide on-leash path stretching toward the Wynnum Mangrove Boardwalk.

When to go. A weekday or early morning gives you the calm side of the footpath and easier parking. Good for dogs that settle with foot traffic and sea breeze around them.
