HK Dog-Friendly Restaurants 2026 | FEHD Permitted List | Furry Green Pets
Hong Kong has officially become a pet-friendly dining city — starting 9 July 2026, the first-ever batch of FEHD-permitted dog-friendly restaurants opens its doors. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) received 2,205 applications under the new Food Business (Amendment) Regulation 2026 and, after a ballot, granted number of restaurants permission to admit dogs. This directory is organised by Region → District — pick a region tab, then a district tab inside it.
Note: Hotpot, barbecue, teppanyaki and Korean BBQ restaurants are not eligible for this scheme. Always confirm individual pet policies directly with the restaurant before visiting.

Pet Dining Tips for Hong Kong
Bringing your pet to a restaurant should be a stress-free experience for everyone. Follow these best practices to keep your furry friend (and other diners) happy:
- Always confirm policies in advance. Some venues only allow pets in outdoor seating; others have weight or breed limits. A quick phone call avoids disappointment.
- Bring essentials: a leash, portable water bowl, waste bags, a small mat or carrier, and a few familiar treats to keep your pet calm.
- Feed before you go. A well-fed dog is a calmer dog. Pack a healthy natural snack for long meals.
- Choose off-peak hours (e.g. 2:30–5:30 pm) for a quieter environment, especially for first-time outings.
- Mind the heat. In summer, prioritise air-conditioned venues or shaded outdoor seating. Keep fresh water available at all times.
- Respect other guests. Keep your pet leashed, off the chairs and tables, and away from food prep areas.
- Clean up immediately if your pet has had an accident — and tip generously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all restaurants on this list dog-friendly indoors?
Not necessarily. This directory is based on the FEHD's official list of Food Premises Permitted for Dog Entry, but each venue sets its own house rules. Some welcome dogs only at outdoor or terrace seating, while others allow pets inside. We always recommend calling the restaurant before your visit to confirm whether your pet's size, breed, or carrier setup is acceptable.
What should I feed my dog before dining out?
A light meal of your dog's regular food about 1–2 hours before you head out helps prevent begging and keeps energy levels balanced. Avoid table scraps — many human foods (onion, garlic, grapes, chocolate, xylitol) are toxic to dogs. Bring a healthy, single-ingredient natural treat from a trusted brand instead. Browse our full range of natural pet food and treats to stock up before your next outing.
Which Hong Kong neighbourhoods are best for first-time pet outings?
For relaxed, outdoor-friendly first visits, the Sai Kung waterfront, Discovery Bay Plaza, Stanley, Repulse Bay's THE PULSE, and Tai Hang's quiet streets are ideal. They offer plenty of alfresco seating, calm pedestrian areas, and tolerant venues. For more polished indoor experiences, try cafés in Sheung Wan, Kennedy Town, or Tsim Sha Tsui's K11 MUSEA.
