1. City Wine Shop

2. Gilson

171 Domain Rd, South Yarra

If there’s a place in Melbourne to be seen with your furry plus one - it’s Gilson. This beautiful bar and eatery is a favourite for locals and their pooches alike, offering a selection of seasonal dishes & classics alongside their extensive wine menu. Located opposite the Tan track with a view of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Gilson is the perfect pre or post-walk destination for you and your pooch. And if you’re lucky, your pooch may just be papped by ‘Dog of Gilson’!
