The law, per the FEHD scheme baseline (Cap 167D + Dog-Friendly Food Premises Permit conditions):

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable here).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law.
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried.

What the field reports:

• Cultural-mall venues with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead; weekend brunch is the high-volume window with art-school crowd spillover.

1. Order the rice noodle rolls — the signature dish.
2. Use the supplied water bowl — the venue documents a water bowl.
3. Visit on a weekday brunch — quieter than weekend brunch peak.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Avoid Cap 167D breeds — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick a corner seat — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the seating is bench-style.
8. Use the JCCAC podium for a relief walk before/after dining.

OpenRice 4.0/5 across 73 reviews; reviewers consistently note the rice noodle rolls and congee programme at the Below $50 price band, with the JCCAC adjacency conferring cultural cachet. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement. Documented amenities include a venue-supplied water bowl.
