Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Two Belgrave restaurants make a dog-friendly statement on their own sites: India Gate and Babaji’s Kitchen. That is the whole list on this page, and both are Indian restaurants on Burwood Highway.
We quote each site’s wording and add the AGFG tags. Whether a dog sits inside or out is the venue’s call, so ask when you book.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
