Dogs dine out at new Chew Chew restaurant | The Daily Telegraph

IN a move that may make doggy bags redundant, the first restaurant especially for dogs has opened in Sydney.

The canine eatery, Chew Chew is at Wollstonecraft on the lower North Shore and has become a meeting place for dogs and their owners.

Founder and head chef Naoko Okamoto has created a regularly changing menu, including beef steak and mushrooms, fish soup, chicken wings and treats such as goat’s yoghurt jelly and lamb bones, there is something for even the fussiest canine.

And for the shy or not so social animals, there is take-away and home delivery.

Chew Chew only caters for dogs and cats, but their owners can bring in a coffee or something to eat from the cafe next door and join their pet at the table.

"A lot of people have told me they’ve been waiting for a place where they can bring their dog in instead of having to leave it outside,’’ Ms Okamoto said.
