Shin went off to Beijing today to attend a few events and the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games so its just the girls and I at home this weekend. We are having a cool spell weather wise ( 24 instead of 34!) so I thought I'd take the girls out to lunch. We intended to go to one of our favourite little cafes near the park but when we go there we found it closed. Its difficult to explain that the Jazz and Dixie who are trying to scratch the door down! So we set off for Fellows Hamburger stand only to find that closed too!! Just across from the hamburger place we noticed a big fuzzy standard poodle go into a restaurant and immediately Jazz and Dixie wanted to follow! I have never noticed that this Italian cafe/restaurant called Smile allowed dogs but sure enough when I asked at the door they welcomed us in. It was a cute little place that looks like someone's living,dining and kitchen all in one. As soon as we were seated the waitress came over with a bowl of water for the girls. I ordered one of my favourite pastas, gorgonzola penne and a coffee. I didn't see a dog menu so I got out Jazz and Dixie's snacksbut to my surprise my meal came with complimentary dog bread and cookies!! Jazz and Dixie were well impressed as was the big poodle across the way. It was indeed a lucky find and a place that I will definately take Jazz and Dixie back to - that is if they can choose between this new place and one of their old favourites, the hamburger stand.

Hi, your beagles are adorable...my heart melts.
I've had a spot in my heart for beagles since I was 16 years old. I am now 33.
My husband and I have 2 beagles as well. They are both males and they are named Buster and Cody.
You can surely tell that your girls are very well cared for.
What an excellent discovery indeed! You gals are so lucky to have so many dog-friendly cafes!
Oooh D loves pasta with blue cheese. She may need the address lol.

That is so good, we can take Pippa outside, but we have never asked to go inside. And complimentary treats too. Yum.

Wow! How great to have a choice. We can't go in any restaurant here. We can sit on the piazza, though, if the weather is nice (because my mom won't go otherwise) at a great coffeehouse named Rembrandt's.
love & wags,

Hi, friends!
I just can imagine how disappointed the girls were when they saw their fav place closed!
Glad you find another friendly place. That pasta looks yummy!
Kisses and hugs

Hi Jazz and Dixie,
It sure is nice to have pleasant discoveries when you least expect it.
It's nice to know that there are several pet friendly cafes near where you live.
Back where I live, pet cafes (in general) fold up pretty fast. Thus there are very few places where we can hang out with our humans for meals.
Meanwhile, do enjoy your time with your mum and dad. It's your blessing to have them and vice versa.
Sweet Licks,
Sugar
Good evening jazz.
The Olympics ends, and it is lonely.
Feelings not settled somehow.
The all-you-can-eat of the shop of Italian food is special feelings for a moment. However, it is
not allowed not to eat too much.
New ..discovery.. toast. ：D

I love discovering new places on accident! I love that so many restaurants in Tokyo are pet-friendly. I wish the U.S. would follow the trend. Hope you're having a great week!
{{{drooling}}} Wow, what a great discovery. The food looks great, even the human food.
many wags & wiggles,
Bailey & Haley
Yum, that food looks great. Dogs would never be allowed in restaurants here.
