What reviewers actually report on the ground:

• YAU VEGGIE BISTRO is dog-tolerant rather than dog-curated. OpenRice reviews note the relaxed creative atmosphere but no public reviewer has described a water bowl being brought out, a pet menu, or a designated pet corner.
• The window seats inside The Mills are the natural pet zone; The Mills podium terraces are useful for pre-meal relief.
• No size cap is documented; the indoor dining room is workable for small-to-medium dogs.
• No “X dogs per booking” cap reported. Single-dog bookings are the norm.
• 10% service charge on the bill.

1. Call 6899 0989 to confirm pet policy before going — The Mills venues vary in their pet setup.
2. Use The Mills podium terraces for pre-meal relief — much calmer than the street.
3. Bring your own water bowl — not documented as provided.
4. Carry your AFCD e-licence (iAM Smart) — staff may ask.
5. Reserve weekend dinner via OpenRice 1–2 days ahead — the venue books up.
6. Order the niçoise salad — that’s the headline plant-based dish.
7. Do not bring a Cap 167D “Dangerous Dog” breed — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
