Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Antibes

An institution of the Vieil Antibes since 1971, occupying a vaulted cellar behind the Marché Provençal and spilling on to a narrow alley terrace. The cooking is robustly Provençal: pizzas from the wood-fired oven, daube, grilled meats and the house aïoli on Fridays. Dogs on leads are taken for granted on the outside tables, and the slow service style means a dog can settle quietly under the bench for the entire meal.

A small bistro facing Port Vauban, a few minutes from the Picasso Museum, with a handful of pavement tables looking towards the marina. The chef cooks a short market menu that changes weekly: vegetables from the Marché Provençal, fish from the Antibes auction, and a serious wine list focused on the Rhône and Provence. Dogs on leads share the pavement tables and the staff bring water without being asked.

A long-running family-run restaurant tucked behind the cathedral in a quiet pedestrian street of the Vieil Antibes, with a generous shaded terrace that opens out under the plane trees. The menu reads like a survey of Provençal classics: petits farcis, soupe au pistou, daube and grilled fish, with a small but well-chosen wine list. Dogs at the terrace tables are part of the normal weekend crowd, and the staff are unhurried with both children and animals.
