Los Angeles is known for having some of the best restaurants around, but oftentimes you can’t take your dog along. Dog-friendly restaurants in Los Angeles aren’t hard to find, though, if you’re in the know. Some L.A. restaurant owners love dogs and accommodate pet parents who bring their dog to lunch (or brunch, or dinner…). Trouble is, you don’t always know which ones they are—until now.
