Big news for Hong Kong dog parents: as of 2026, around 1,000 eateries across the city are officially allowed to welcome dogs — thanks to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department’s new scheme letting licensed restaurants apply to seat four-legged guests. That means more brunches, more dim sum, and a lot more happy tails.

So we did the legwork (and the paw-work). We took the official ballot results, matched every licence number to a real restaurant, and plotted them on one interactive map — complete with district, cuisine, and phone number. Whether you’re after a harbour-view brunch with your Corgi or a neighbourhood cha chaan teng that won’t mind your Shiba, it’s all here.

The interactive map

Tap any pin to see the restaurant’s name, cuisine, and phone number — then open it in Google Maps or grab directions in one tap. Use the filters to narrow by region or district, or search by name or cuisine.

How to use the map

• Filter by district — planning a day in Sai Kung or Sham Shui Po? Pick your area and see only what’s nearby.
• Search by cuisine — type “Thai,” “dim sum,” “cafe,” or “pizza” to find your craving.
• Tap a pin — get the phone number to call ahead (always smart with a pup in tow), plus one-tap Google Maps directions.

Save your favourites to your own Google Maps 📍

Found your new regular? On any pin, tap “Open in Google Maps” — the restaurant opens in your own Google Maps app, where you can star it, add it to a list, or share it with the group chat. Build your own dog-dining bucket list and never lose track of that perfect patio again.

Dog-dining etiquette: a quick woof-through

Being welcome is a privilege — let’s keep it that way so these doors stay open for every dog after us.

• Call first. A restaurant may be licensed but still have rules (outdoor seating only, off-peak hours, small dogs, etc.). A quick call saves a wasted trip.
• Leash on, manners on. Keep your dog leashed and close to your table — not roaming, not on the seats or table.
• Feed before you go. A well-fed, relaxed dog is a well-behaved dining companion. (A scoop of Dogalicious beforehand never hurts.)
• Bring the basics. A travel water bowl, a mat for them to settle on, and clean-up bags.
• Read the room. If your pup’s having a barky day, there’s always next time.

Frequently asked questions

Are dogs really allowed inside Hong Kong restaurants now?
Yes — under FEHD’s 2026 scheme, licensed restaurants can apply to allow dogs on their premises. The roughly 1,000 venues on this map are the ones that successfully balloted for permission. Individual house rules still vary, so call ahead.

Are these all indoor seats?
Not necessarily. Permission covers the premises, but each restaurant decides where dogs can sit (indoors, terrace, or specific areas). Confirm when you book.

Is the list complete?
We mapped every winner we could match to a licensed address. A handful of village, marine, and theme-park venues couldn’t be pinned precisely, and a few phone numbers are still being confirmed. We update as we go.

Do guide dogs and service dogs need this?
No. Guide dogs and recognised service animals are already permitted in eateries under separate rules — this scheme is about pet dogs.

Now grab the leash. Hong Kong just got a whole lot more delicious for two of you. 🐶
