    Carmel, CA dog-friendly restaurants?

    Anyone got any suggestions for good lunch spots in Carmel, CA? We're meeting my husband's parents there this weekend, and dogs aren't allowed in their community (how dumb is that?!).  So we have to find a good dog-friendly, rain-friendly (just in case) place to meet.
     
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Have you tried dogfriendly.com?  I usually look for places with an outdoor patio and ask if well behaved dogs are allowed.  (I've takem my dog to Hooters already!  [:)]

    Not sure this will be what you're looking for, but my brother has a second home in Carmel and I noticed whenever we were there that the town seemed very "dog-friendly".  We went to the Carmel Bakery every morning and all the locals had their dogs with them while they sat and drank coffee, etc.   Oh my gosh, the bakery has the best stuff too.  I absolutely love Carmel!

    I LOVE carmel! And Cathy's right, the bakery is the best and whenever I go I see dogs all over the place. Their are dogs tied to posts outside of stores and shops and it's the only time I don't get irritated that someone would leave their dog outside. The dogs look like they're part of the scenery. [:D]

    Thanks, guys.  I did check out dogfriendly, but I was hoping someone had first hand experience they could share. :)  That bakery sounds like a winner. I'll definitely check it out.
     
    Thanks, again![:D]
