Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page answers one question: which Nunawading cafes are listed as dog friendly? The true count is one. Only Miss Lucy, on Central Road, carries a pet-friendly listing we could confirm, so that is all the page holds.
The listing comes from the Australian Good Food Guide, not from the cafe’s own words. We checked the address and details against OpenStreetMap and the cafe’s own site. For off-lead parks, use our dog-friendly guide instead, and check the council order for the times.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listed pet-friendly cafe | Miss Lucy | BACON & EGG ROLL (LG) | $15.90 |
Miss Lucy — 133 Central Road, Nunawading VIC 3131
Status: AGFG lists Miss Lucy as Pet Friendly and as Alfresco Dining. That is the listing’s wording, not the cafe’s own, so we could not confirm whether dogs may go inside or only at the outdoor tables. According to Miss Lucy’s website, the cafe is found on the edge of the Blackburn Lake Sanctuary. The trading hours given on the website are SUN-FRI 8AM - 5PM, with Saturdays and public holidays closed. Any off-lead rules nearby are a council matter: check the council order.
On the menu (copied from misslucy.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- BACON & EGG ROLL (LG): $15.90
- LUCY’S BENEDICT (V/LG): $22.90
- CLASSIC FISH & CHIPS: $23.90
- ANGUS BEEF BURGER (LG): $24.90
Inside or outside only: AGFG lists Alfresco Dining and Pet Friendly, but no page we read says whether dogs may come inside, so ask the cafe first.
Quick answers
Is Miss Lucy in Nunawading dog friendly?
AGFG lists Miss Lucy as Pet Friendly, and that is the only pet-friendly listing we could confirm for a Nunawading cafe. The cafe’s own site does not say so in the text we read, so treat it as a listing and ask before you bring a dog.
Can dogs sit inside Miss Lucy?
We could not find a published statement on that. AGFG lists Miss Lucy as Alfresco Dining as well as Pet Friendly, which points to outdoor seating, but only the cafe can say where a dog is allowed.
What are Miss Lucy’s opening hours?
Miss Lucy’s own site lists trading hours as SUN-FRI 8AM - 5PM, closed Saturdays and public holidays. The OpenStreetMap tag gives an earlier closing time, so we used the cafe’s own hours. Check before you go.
Where can I find off-lead dog parks near Nunawading?
This page covers cafes only, and only one passed our check. For off-lead parks, see our dog-friendly guide, and check the council order for each park’s off-leash times, because we do not guess them.
