The Terrace at The Maybourne

For a truly upscale pet-friendly experience, The Terrace at The Maybourne hotel in Beverly Hills delivers elegance with a side of dog-friendliness. This is a luxury outdoor restaurant overlooking the manicured Beverly Canon Gardens – think white parasols, olive trees, and cushioned rattan chairs, all set against the backdrop of a five-star hotel lawn.

Despite the high-end setting, The Terrace explicitly encourages patrons to bring their dogs for a sophisticated meal. In fact, it “does more than most to accommodate dogs,” even offering well-behaved pups a plush dog bed to lounge on while owners dine on fresh pasta or a rack of lamb.

The ambiance is akin to a European piazza – a refined crowd, gentle fountain sounds, and impeccable service – yet dogs in tow are greeted with a smile (often by name, if they’re hotel regulars). The menu is modern Italian/Californian, and while there isn’t a printed dog menu, the chef can prepare unseasoned protein for your pup on request, and water bowls are automatically provided. The overall vibe is “casual glamour”: you might see a Pomeranian sitting on a cushioned chair while its owner sips a cocktail, or a Golden Retriever being fussed over by staff who just offered it a treat. It’s no wonder Hollywood’s pampered pets are often spotted here.

The Terrace manages to combine luxury and pet-friendliness in a way few places do.
