Sliema's seafront promenade and the buzzing Strand are lined with terraces where leashed dogs are a familiar sight, especially out of the midday heat. Maltese hospitality is warm toward dogs on outdoor terraces, though indoor dining is usually limited because of strict food-safety rules, so plan around the shaded waterfront tables.

2.Dine in the early evening shade rather than midday; summer pavements and stone can burn paws.
3.Carry a collapsible water bowl. Many terraces will refill it but a few do not.
4.Stick to the seafront Strand and Tigné Point, where terraces are widest and most dog-tolerant.

Frequently Asked Questions
