Are Dogs Allowed In New Orleans Restaurants?

The City of New Orleans doesn’t have a specific ordinance against pets in restaurants. There are hundreds of eateries in the city that allow pets.

If you’re unsure whether a local eatery allows pets, you should call them on the phone first before you drive there. With that said, you shouldn’t have a problem as far as options.
