It's no secret that Carmel-by-the-Sea is nirvana for dogs and the people who love them. But if your time is short and your schedule crammed, it doesn't hurt to have a few dog-friendly restaurants programmed into your itinerary.
Whether or not you're staying at the Cypress Inn, perhaps the world's most famous dog-friendly hotel, you owe it to yourself and your best friend to stop by for a drink or a meal at Terry's Lounge or the Living Room, where you'll be delighted to find that almost every guest is accompanied by a canine companion. Another fave dining spot is the lush and leafy Forge in the Forest, famous for a "dog pound menu" featuring the "quarter hounder."
