19 verified restaurants · 15 welcome dogs inside · Last updated July 2026
Restaurants are the one category where the answer isn’t a straightforward yes. Of the 19 we’ve checked, 15 welcome dogs inside and four are outdoor seating only — which is fine in June and a wasted journey in January.
So the useful thing this page does is tell you which is which, by name, before you book.
The pattern, roughly: casual and neighbourhood places say yes indoors. Italian restaurants in this city are almost uniformly relaxed about it. And the more a place leans towards an occasion, the more likely the dog is on the terrace.
Said first, because it’s the thing worth knowing before you plan an evening.
Kødbyens Fiskebar in the Meatpacking District — seafood done simply, and the outdoor area is where dogs go. Sticks’n’Sushi at Borgergade, Hellerup and Amager Strand are all outdoor-only for dogs, though all three put out water and snacks for them.
Everything else on this page, your dog can come inside.
Italian, and consistently easy about dogs
This is the strongest run on the list. Mangia in Vesterbro does handmade pasta and regional cooking in a warm room. Circolo on Gl. Kongevej serves Tuscan comfort food and Italian wine — dogs fit in without fuss. Bar Amore in Frederiksberg is Neapolitan-inspired, bright and informal. Rossopomodoro in the city centre makes proper Neapolitan pizza with 24-hour dough, in a lively room with open kitchens.
Sushi, at eight addresses
Sticks’n’Sushi is the single most useful chain in this city for a dog owner, because there are eight of them and they put out water and snacks at all of them. Five welcome dogs inside: Østerbro (bright and calm, near Fælledparken), Vesterbro, Valby (near the station, unfussy), Gl. Kongevej (busy street, calm room) and Nansensgade (just off the Lakes, cosy). The other three are outdoor only — see above.
Something plant-based
Bistro Verde in the city centre is fully vegan, and dogs come inside. Creative, seasonal, and genuinely good rather than dutiful.
Neighbourhood and all-day
Aamanns Genbo by Kildepladsen in Carlsberg Byen is a bakery, deli, takeaway and restaurant in one — dogs are welcome inside in both the deli and the restaurant, and there’s room to stretch out at the outdoor seating too. Abaco in Østerbro brings Mediterranean street food from two fine-dining chefs; indoor seating is limited, dogs are warmly welcome, and there’s always a water bowl ready.
With a proper bar attached
Villette and Gaarden & Gaden in Nørrebro and Apollo Bar on Nyhavn all run as restaurant and bar both.
Every restaurant we’ve checked, grouped by neighbourhood. Each card links to its own page with the full details.
Many do. Of the 19 we’ve verified, 15 welcome dogs inside and four are outdoor seating only. Casual and neighbourhood restaurants are far more likely to say yes indoors than occasion restaurants.
Fifteen on our list, including Mangia, Circolo, Bar Amore, Rossopomodoro, Bistro Verde, Aamanns Genbo, Abaco and five of the eight Sticks’n’Sushi branches.
Yes — the Italian restaurants here are the easiest evening option, and Sticks’n’Sushi Nansensgade and Østerbro both work well for a quiet dinner.
Sticks’n’Sushi put out water bowls and dog snacks at every branch, indoors or out. Abaco keeps a water bowl ready.
For the indoor ones, yes — and mention the dog, so they seat you somewhere with room.
