We love going out to eat — solo, with friends, and especially with our four-legged companions. And while owning a capybara is cool, today we’re focusing on a more classic duo: human and dog. Here’s your guide to the spots where your furry gourmet can feel like a true VIP guest.
NB: This guide was compiled with the help of our incorruptible expert — Frankie the corgi, known for his flawless taste and healthy appetite.
Even before launching Make Love Pizza (and always), this Tomsk-born team loved four-legged friends just as much as the two-legged kind — back home, they partnered with shelters and animal welfare projects. In their Almaty pizza-and-coffee spot, that love is even more obvious. There are even tiny dogs illustrated at the bottom of the coffee cups — enough said.
The thin-crust pizza is top-tier. When we come with a pup, we order the one with sausage (sorry, vegetarians — the dog demands sacrifice). There’s also a specialty coffee counter, a great craft beer selection, and sometimes even a brew for dogs. The owners’ love for canines runs so deep, they offer custom-made leashes and collars. A triple «woof» for this place!
At this street food café, dogs aren’t just allowed — they’re genuinely adored. While you dig into signature strips and wings, your pup might feel like a local celebrity: expect treats, cuddles, and maybe even a track played in their honor (okay, that part’s a maybe).
Coco’s vibe is steeped in street culture — street artists, DJs, friends, dogs — everything and everyone belongs. So come as you are, bring your favorite four-legged sidekick, and order the chicken.
Ice cream and dogs — do those two things even go together? Absolutely. Our favorite spot, Umami, sits right by the «Nedelka» fountain — a perfect place to relax on warm days, listen to the water, and share a scoop with your pup.
The key here is choosing wisely. Umami offers sugar-free options, because yes, we all know dogs shouldn’t have sweets (even if they give you that «please» look). Go for the sugar-free coconut — and let everyone enjoy their well-earned frozen treat.
Doggy high life at its finest. A touch of bohemia never hurt anyone — especially when you’re strolling with a four-legged aristocrat. If you value luxury, fresh air, and manicured lawns and flowerbeds that look straight out of a magazine, Villa is the perfect spot for a slow, elegant walk.
You’re welcome to wander the grounds and enjoy the setting. Stop by Astra for a gorgeous dessert, get a filter coffee at Vanilla, and if the day’s feeling particularly charmed — maybe even pick up a watch (it’s about time we measured life in more than just «dog walks»). Just don’t forget the cleanup bags: the lawns here are beautiful, and they should stay that way. Style isn’t only about outfits — it’s also about good manners.
Beer is a great isotonic — as everyone knows. Especially after a long walk, when you and your four-legged partner have done lap after lap around the dog park on Bayseitova Street. Everyone’s got their job: you throw the ball, the corgis run. After all that action, it’s the perfect time to catch your breath at Privychki.
The bar has an impressive beer selection, and sometimes there are more dogs than people. No one’s going to judge you for chatting with your pup like they’re your best friend — everyone here does the same.
If a place says its philosophy is «Burgers and something more, ” you can count on it being about freedom, flavor, and good company. And by good company, we definitely mean dogs too.
The burgers at KetchUp have no pretension but plenty of personality: juicy, bold, and unpretentious. Every one of them nails the meat-to-sauce ratio. Bring your four-legged sidekick, share a burger (they can have at least one bun), and enjoy an easygoing vibe where everyone feels at home. Tasty, warm, and fuss-free — the way a real burger experience should be.
We love places that bring a few ideas together — and Gornaya is exactly that. What started as a tiny film lab where you could develop and scan your rolls has grown into a space with specialty coffee, a small bar, and a great craft beer selection. The vibe is wonderfully cozy, especially if you’re into film photography and hidden city corners.
One thing to know: dogs are more than welcome here. Drop by with your four-legged friend and meet some of the local regulars — both two- and four-legged. And here’s a tip: your first order is always free. Come early, grab a filter coffee and a slice of cherry pie, and enjoy the Twin Peaks energy.
A fresh addition to the city’s coffee scene, where steel meets wood — and dogs meet cheesecake. With a Nordic vibe, minimalist design, plenty of space to breathe, specialty beans, and affordable breakfasts, Voronka gets all the essentials right. Grab an Ethiopian pour-over, a pastrami bagel, settle in by the window, and catch a little urban zen. And yes, bring your fluffy friend — they’re always welcome here.
