Bring Your Dog Out to Eat

Jacques

Finally! While Orlando cafés and restaurants have allowed dogs at outdoor cafes and restaurants for years, Seminole County is finally getting in on the act. Seminole County commissioners just enacted a “dog-friendly” ordinance that would allow restaurant-goers to bring their pets along when eating in the outdoor sections of restaurants and cafes in the county.

This seems like a great fit for a county that is known for its beautiful nature and scenery. Now, I need help from you: which are the best restaurants in Seminole County to take advantage of this new option? Winter Park, downtown, and other areas are more well known for their outdoor eateries. I blogged about a few of the top outdoor spots last year http://www.flavorfulexcursions.net/2011/06/orlandos-top-dog-friendly-and-foodie.html, including: White Wolf Café, Spice, RelaxGrill at Lake Eola, and Pisces Rising in Mount Dora.

I know that Lake Mary has fun outdoor dining restaurants too, including Dexters, Liam Fitzpatrick's, Pattiserie Caffe, the new Menchies frozen yogurt, and several other cafes and wine markets. Which are your favorites?
