Frequently Asked Questions

Are dogs officially allowed on Toronto restaurant patios?

If food is being prepared outside, are dogs still allowed on patios?
No, dogs are only allowed on restaurant patios if food isn't being prepared outside.
Are dogs allowed inside of restaurants?
Dogs are only allowed inside eateries with "low-risk" foods. These are often breweries where beer, wine, cider, spirits, pre-packaged foods, and ready-to-eat foods are served.
Can restaurant owners prohibit dogs from being allowed on patios?
Yes, according to the ""Better for People, Smarter for Business" Act of 2019, the final say of dog friendliness rests with the restaurant owner.
