As an avid traveler, I've seen dogs in cafes and restaurants in many locations around the world. Just about anywhere but Chicago, it's totally acceptable to bring your dog out with you for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In Paris, I've seen dogs indoors, sitting right at the table, eating off a plate!
In Chicago, as of January 1, 2008, state law allows for dogs in restaurants, provided that the restaurant obtains license approval, registration, and posts a notice that dogs are allowed. But according to a recent article in Crain's Chicago Business, "Taking Names: Gibsons, RL don't jump to allow dogs," some local eateries seem to be dragging their feet.
The city says there's no wait time — presuming a restaurant has no debt and there are no administrative issues — to receive the $450 dog-friendly license, so why isn't every Chicago restaurant with an outdoor eating area licensed already? Our nice weather season is so short!

Most of the time, I'd rather sit at a table with a dog, then at a table with obnoxious kids.
Dogs tend to make better table mates then most people do.
I always take me dog for cafe's and restaurants during the day - he get a fresh bowl of water and a lot of attention and both of us really enjoy ourselves.
I never had any complaints before
I would take my dog too, if I had one.
Hello! i live in a pretty dog-friendly city, but still find that i can't take him inside any restaurant. outside is ok. my jack russell is like my child, so i prefer to have him with me as much as possible. this is cool though, that in some places you can take them in! it's too hot out in summer so i have to think ahead what i'm going to be doing and can he go inside with me? cuz it's H - O doubt T out there right now!
