A Danish-run specialty coffee shop on Rua Nova da Piedade in Principe Real, one of the pioneers of Lisbon's third-wave coffee scene. It roasts its own beans and serves filter and espresso drinks with house-baked Danish bread and pastries, and there is a small terrace.

The fenced off-leash area has agility equipment, benches, shaded trees and a dog drinking fountain, and the garden also has a kiosk with a terrace.

No photo yetA minimalist specialty-coffee roaster and brunch café with locations in São Bento, Bica and Alfama, roasting beans in-house and pouring V60s, flat whites and craft brunch plates. The official FAQ states friendly pets are welcome, making it a relaxed stop between Lisbon's hills.

Leash rules, off-leash hours and whether dogs are allowed inside are set locally and change without notice. Each listing here says what the venue or the responsible authority publishes, and the listing page links to the page we checked, so you can confirm the current rule before you set out. Outside a signed off-leash area, keep the dog on a lead.
No venue can pay to be listed or to rank higher, and no listing carries an invented rating or a stock photograph standing in for the real place. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will re-check it.
Heath and common land where off-lead walking is written into the rules, plus pubs with a dog wash in the garden.
A brasserie that says outright it welcomes dogs, dog cafes in the Marais, and one of the city's thirteen off-leash areas.
Beer gardens older than most countries, a forest where the lake is legally open to dogs, and the most dog-tolerant cafe culture in Europe.
Brown cafes with a dog under the table, a designated dog beach on the Gaasperplas, and a canal-house hotel that takes one small dog.
Terraces where a leashed dog is welcome by law, the city's one official dog beach, and a brewery hall with room to spare.
An extinct volcano inside the city, a meadow where the whole town walks its dogs, and a rooftop brewery on the Grassmarket.
Send it in and we will check it against the venue's own information before it goes live. Venue owners can also send a photograph of their place — free, with the credit kept.
