Pano

This is a reservation-driven restaurant. OpenRice shows a deep Q&A on reservations, and the Lubuds booking line (2361 9600) is the route reviewers and the FEHD permit text assume you will call. The dog-friendly zone is the outside seating accommodation at the shop front — the outdoor terrace facing the harbour — not the indoor glass-walled dining room.

• Walk-ins accepted: rare. The indoor dining room is reservation-only for tasting-menu and set-lunch bookings, and on weekends the harbour-facing tables go first.
• Booking channel: phone (2361 9600) is the most reliable; the venue takes bookings via the Lubuds booking portal as well. OpenRice does not surface a click-to-book button.
• Lead time: 1–2 weeks for a harbour-facing seat on a Saturday dinner; weekday lunch often within a few days.
• Pet-section hours: same as the restaurant (Mon–Sun 12:00–22:30 per OpenRice). The outdoor seats run the full day, but sunset and evening harbour-light times are the most photographed.
• The vibe: staff are attentive and professional once you’re seated, but several 2025–2026 reviews flag a slow, almost absent complaint-handling culture — one diner saw a rodent in the dining room and was waved off with no goodwill gesture. Plan ahead rather than expect on-the-spot accommodation.

• Minimum charge: none stated by FEHD or OpenRice. The price band is $401–800 per person on OpenRice, but the most-ordered option is the Tasting Menu at HK$1,288+ per person (Tasting Menu on OpenRice’s own menu gallery), so realistic spend is HK$700–1,500 per head including service.
• Per-dog charge: none reported.
• Pet menu / treats: no dedicated dog menu, no treats on the house. Bring your own water bowl.
• Service charge: 10% (per OpenRice listing and repeated across multiple reviews).
• Payment methods (per OpenRice): Visa, Master, AlipayHK, Alipay, Cash, AE, UnionPay, OpenRice Pay.
• Cake-cutting / BYO wine: cake-cutting is allowed (handy for birthdays), and you can bring your own wine.

Pano does not operate a mall-style pet zone — this is a standalone restaurant inside Art Park. The dog-friendly area is the outside seating accommodation at the shop front, which the FEHD register lists verbatim as the permitted dog zone. That’s the terrace immediately in front of the restaurant, looking out over the harbour and the Art Park lawn.

• Relief area on-site: no dedicated relief zone. The Art Park’s lawn starts 1–2 minutes away across the path — that’s the de-facto relief stop, and the wider West Kowloon Pet Zone is about 8 minutes on foot (see Nearby).
• Off-leash permitted? No. Treat the outdoor terrace as on-leash; FEHD baseline ≤ 1.5 m applies.
• Distance from non-dog tables: the terrace is its own zone, so you’re separated from the indoor glass-walled dining room. Within the terrace, tables are normal dining distance.
• Indoor dining room: not on the FEHD permit’s listed “outside seating” wording. Not reported whether staff will seat a dog inside the glass-walled room — assume no, and book the outdoor seats if you’re bringing a dog.

• Water bowl: not reported — assume bring your own. One of the few amenities OpenRice doesn’t confirm.
• Pet mat / pee pad: not provided.
• Pet treats on the house: none documented.
• Pet menu: none.
• Pet stroller parking: the shop front is a wide terrace; folding a stroller at the table is fine.
• Pet-friendly toilet: no — use the M+ building or the Art Park facilities.
• Mosquito warning: multiple reviewers note that the outdoor terrace at sunset attracts mosquitoes and there are no wind screens. Bring repellent for you and your dog (a vet-approved essential-oil-free spray; citronella is toxic to dogs).

By MTR, Pano sits inside Art Park in the West Kowloon Cultural District, which is a deliberate walk from the nearest stations. Allow for it.

• From Kowloon MTR (Tung Chung Line / Airport Express), Exit C1: ~15 minutes on foot across the Austin Road / Nga Cheung Road flyover into Art Park. OpenRice users report this as the conventional route.
• From Austin MTR (West Rail Line), Exit F: ~8 minutes on foot. Closer, but a less obvious walk.
• From East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR, Exit L6: ~20 minutes along the harbourfront promenade. The scenic option.
• Bus: the Austin Road / Canton Road corridor runs 8, 11, 215X, 281A and the cross-harbour 970; alight near the Art Park entrance.
• Taxi / rideshare: recommended for evening visits — the dark walk from M+ to Pano is the single most common complaint in reviews. Plan to call a taxi back; the queue can run 30+ minutes on busy nights.
• Step-free entry: yes — Art Park is level, the restaurant is on the 1/F and reachable by lift or stairs from the park path.
• Lift required: yes, if entering from the Art Park lawn side; the staircase is wide but the lift is the dog-friendly choice.
• Parking: the West Kowloon Art Park car park is the closest; metered street parking around the cultural district is limited.

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

• Dogs permitted only at the outside seating accommodation at the shop front — the FEHD register is specific. The indoor dining room is not listed.
• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; staff have been known to relax this for calm small dogs on the terrace).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule, always observed at fine-dining venues).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable — Pano is à la carte / tasting menu only).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law; staff will simply say “no big dogs” if you ask.
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried — operators can ask.

What reviewers actually report on the ground:

• The outdoor terrace is where dogs show up; reviewers tag the indoor dining room as fine-dining quiet, so a barky dog should be on the terrace only.
• Service is described as professional and patient during the meal, but the back-of-house complaint response is slow — one December 2025 review describes being met with a WhatsApp reply three days later and no compensation after a hygiene incident. This matters if something goes wrong with your booking.
• No size cap is documented. No “X dogs per booking” cap reported. Not reported whether staff enforce a 1-dog or 2-dog ceiling — book ahead and confirm.
• Mosquitoes at sunset are the de-facto house rule: reviewers describe bites on legs and arms, and the restaurant doesn’t run wind screens.

1. Book the terrace — that’s the FEHD-listed dog zone, and it also gets the best sunset. Indoor table bookings are not the dog-friendly setup.
2. Reserve 1–2 weeks ahead for Saturday dinner — the harbour-facing seats go first.
3. Carry your AFCD e-licence (iAM Smart) — operators can ask at the door.
4. Bring your own water bowl, mat, and treats — Pano doesn’t run pet amenities, and the terrace is exposed.
5. Bring mosquito repellent (pet-safe; avoid essential oils toxic to dogs). Sunset on the terrace is bite-city without it.
6. Skip the tasting menu if your dog is reactive — a 14-course tasting is a 2.5-hour sit. Pano isn’t the venue for a dog who needs a walk every 90 minutes.
7. Pre-book a taxi back — Uber / HKTaxi pickup at Pano is slow on weekend evenings. Use the restaurant to call one before dessert.
8. Do not feed your dog from the venue’s tableware — FEHD rule, observed.
9. Don’t bring a Dangerous Dog (Cap 167D) breed — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
