If you’ve ever planned brunch around your dog’s nap schedule or abandoned a perfectly good cafe because the words “no pets allowed” were uttered, this one’s for you. While Singapore is still firmly an outdoor-seating-for-dogs-only kind of city, there’s a growing list of hotels and restaurants that are genuinely pet-friendly, not just technically tolerant. 

We’re talking places where water bowls appear unprompted, staff don’t flinch at fur under the table, and customers mostly tolerant, if not pet owners themselves. From all-access spots to park-side favourites perfect for post-walk refuelling, here’s where to eat, drink, and loiter with your four-legged plus-one.

Sun Ray Cafe

Various Locations

Pets are genuinely welcome throughout the space, and there’s even a dedicated pet menu, making this feel more like a community hub than a reluctant compromise.

Expect hearty cafe fare, reliable coffee, and a steady stream of regulars, many of whom walk in on four legs.
