Quezon City has one of the biggest pet-friendly food scenes in Metro Manila. From the student-friendly cafés of Maginhawa Street to the restaurant rows of Tomas Morato and the malls of Vertis North, there are dozens of places where your dog can join you for a meal. This guide groups our favorite pet-friendly spots by neighborhood so you can plan a full food trip with your fur baby.

How we check: each place below is listed on FluffyTrips with a pet policy based on the venue’s Google info and recent diner reviews, last checked in October 2026. Rules can change, so message the restaurant before you go — especially if you want to sit indoors.

Quick tips for a QC food trip with your dog

• Al fresco is your safest bet. Many QC restaurants welcome dogs outside but ask first before indoor seating.
• Mall rules apply inside malls. At Vertis North, SM North EDSA or Araneta City, follow the mall’s own pet rules (often diapers, a leash, or a stroller).
• Go early or late. Maginhawa and Tomas Morato get crowded at peak dinner hours, which can stress dogs.
• Pack water, a bowl, poop bags and wipes — and keep your dog leashed between stops.
