2. Order the Mediterranean small plates — the signature format.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, with more room for a small or medium dog.
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.

7. Bring a mat — the outdoor benches are metal-framed.
8. Use the Sai Kung Waterfront Promenade for a relief walk before/after.
