Animal lovers, here is a list of dining spots where you can meet and interact with animals.

Animal-themed cafés and dining spots are still a growing concept in the UAE. More popular in parts of Asia, Europe, and the US, animal cafés and restaurants are simple: guests can enjoy a drink, meal, dessert, or a baked snack while meeting some animals (usually cats or dogs) that call the café home or are only for pets. Our list is not to be confused with pet-friendly restaurants and cafés that allow you to bring your pets with you while you dine.
