The Naked Fox Wine Bar, Kitchen & Café

The Naked Fox is a European-style wine bar, kitchen and cafe set on a historic vineyard site at 8990 West Swan Road, Henley Brook. It champions small WA producers, takes a proper approach to food, and runs a shaded courtyard where dogs are genuinely welcome.

The dog setup

Dogs join you in the outdoor courtyard, which is shaded and easy to settle into, and staff keep water bowls on hand for visiting dogs. Indoor seating is the usual food-venue exception, so plan on the courtyard.

Pepsi: A courtyard with cover, water on arrival and share plates worth the wait is the whole assignment. Keep the lead clipped to the chair and your dog will settle fast.

Worth knowing

The wine list works through Western Australia's regions, from Swan District chenin blanc and verdelho to chardonnay and shiraz further south, and the kitchen leans on tapas and seasonal share plates. Breakfast is a strength too, with pancakes and a coffee list that runs to specialty options like a Biscoff latte.

Hours are tighter than you might expect: 11:30am to 3pm Monday and Thursday, closed Tuesday and Wednesday, then 11am to 7pm Friday, 8pm Saturday and 5pm Sunday, so check the venue site before a midweek stop.

Getting there and parking

The venue sits on West Swan Road in Henley Brook with ample on-site parking, so arriving with a dog in the car is straightforward. It is a short drive from the Swan Valley's main visitor strip.

Pair it with

Build a dog-friendly loop through the valley's cellar doors: Edgecombe Brothers takes well-behaved dogs on leash, and Funk Brewshed pours cider and beer around outdoor pergolas on the lawn.

For another sit-down option, Black Swan Winery & Restaurant is nearby. Weekday mornings are the calm, cooler stretch for a dog settling in the courtyard, and more stops are listed in our WA wineries guide or the Henley Brook destination page.
