Do you ever wonder what you would do if you came to Egypt with your pet? You might wonder if they have any pet-friendly places. Many people will try to discourage you by saying you won’t be able to do any activities with your pet while in Egypt, but this is not true at all. Not all places have the “no pets allowed” sign.
So why exactly would you want to find pet-friendly spots? That is quite easy. Imagine sitting in a restaurant or café without your pet whose back at your homeland or hotel. You could have some friends with you, and it could be a nice gathering, but you have sympathy for your furry friend back home. You might worry that they are alone and wish they were sharing such nice moments with you. Well, no need to be disappointed! We solved those issues for you! Here are 10 pet-friendly restaurants and cafes in Egypt that you and your pet must try.

Ampersand Eatery
Our first pet-friendly suggestion is quite a famous one. Ampersand Eatery is the talk of the town when it comes to restaurants that allow pets. Most pets love open spaces, and Ampersand Eatery does not disappoint in this area. The restaurant has a perfect garden for your pet; this offers a great atmosphere. So, if including a garden doesn’t indicate that the place is more than pet-friendly, I don’t know what is!
If you are wondering about the kind of dishes you will get to enjoy at Ampersand Eatery, we have got you covered. Their menu is diverse since many cuisines influence it; you will easily find a dish you like. For example, their menu includes Italian and American cuisines. They offer drinks, breakfast, desserts, salads, soups, sandwiches, pizza, and more!
Unfortunately, Ampersand Eatery has one disadvantage that could harm its pet-friendly image: they don’t have pet treats. This means your pet will watch you eat rather than have their food. I don’t know about you, but this is some sad news. Better something than nothing.
Just like there is a disadvantage, there are some advantages as well. One of them is the calm atmosphere that the place offers, which will make your pet calm in return, too. Another advantage is that Ampersand Eatery’s garden has access to an air conditioner during the summer; you won’t have to worry about the temperature affecting your pet. Our last advantage is that their staff is more than amazing and very friendly toward pets; no one will be unkind toward your furry friend.
- Opening hours: Every day from 10 am to 1 am.
- Location: Trivium Complex Business Park, North Teseen Road, New Cairo, Egypt.

Best Food Tours in Egypt:
The Dog Café
Our next pet-friendly suggestion is a favorite of mine and many others. People love The Dog Café because it is considered the first café to serve both dogs and their owners; pretty cool, right? While I mentioned one of Ampersand’s disadvantages is that it doesn’t offer treats for your pet, the Dog Café is the complete opposite. This is why we love mentioning diverse places. It ensures you always find a spot perfect for you and your pet when needed.
Since The Dog Café has covered your dog with the treats they serve, you probably wonder, “What about me?” You shouldn’t worry because The Dog Café’s food is amazing. It also helps that you would be able to eat along with your dog rather than watching them being excluded.
Another thing people love about them is their coffee, which many describe as simply amazing. That’s not all! Another thing we love about The Dog Café is that they have a bakery for dogs. Therefore, your dog will be able to enjoy different cakes that are all dog-friendly and made of safe ingredients, so you won’t have to worry about your pet’s safety. They offer many dishes, including muffins, salads, breakfast, burgers, etc.
So if you are in Egypt around the same time your dog has their birthday, you can call The Dog Café and ask them to prepare a cake for your dog before going there. Now you know that The Dog Café is your destination if you want to have a good time with your dog in a great atmosphere!

It never harms to know more about our recommendation. Ovio is a European restaurant that might explain why they are pet-friendly; we are not complaining!

They also offer gourmet burgers, salads, pizzas, and pasta. But we must warn you that you and your pet will have your mouths watering. That’s because Ovio’s policy includes that the customers be able to view the food at all times. Better practice how you will try to look away from the delicious food from now!
