Two dogs, one very long list

Meet Missy on the left and Muffin on the right. They're our two Pekingese mascots and weekend walking partners. Those walks help us tell the terraces with actual water bowls from the ones that only look welcoming on Google.

dogdoghk is a small, Hong Kong-made directory of restaurants, cafés and weekend spots that actually welcome dogs. We start from the government's official Food & Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) register, then match every entry to OpenRice so you can see photos, opening hours and reviews before you go.

Why we keep checking

Hong Kong moves fast. A place can close, change ownership or quietly drop its dog policy between Monday and Saturday. This is how we keep up:

What you can expect from us

• 01Every listing cites its FEHD licence and OpenRice link. If we can't match one, we say so and don't use fake photos.
• 02We unify addresses, de-dupe cross-listed branches and pick the right English / Chinese name by hand. Yau Ma Tei and Yau Ma Tei (West) aren't the same place.
• 03We're based in Central, and we walk in Stanley, Sai Kung and Tai O. We look for the details locals know, including Stanley's seaside terraces, Sai Kung's weekend brunch crowd and Sheung Wan's hidden cafés.
• 04On the way: photo tips from readers, dog-menu notes (yes, some HK restaurants already have them), and verified community reviews.

Got a spot to add, or know one that closed? Email hello@dogdoghk.com. Cantonese, Mandarin and English are all welcome.

A dogdoghk listing means the venue has registered with FEHD to permit dogs. House rules, size limits and outdoor-only policies still vary, so please confirm with the venue before you go.
