Piri Fresco

Piri Fresco is a dog-friendly Portuguese restaurant on Main Street in the heart of Keswick, and dogs are welcome inside. That means everyone can settle in together rather than one person doing the pavement shuffle while the other orders — particularly useful when you're exploring the town centre and want a proper sit-down meal.

It's a very central spot, which makes it a handy walk-in stop after browsing the town or tackling one of the nearby fells. The restaurant is unlicensed, so you can bring your own alcohol to enjoy with your meal, and booking ahead is recommended as it fills up quickly.

It's particularly useful when the weather turns theatrical and you'd rather not negotiate a soggy dog on the pavement while your lunch goes cold inside. A relaxed, central Keswick restaurant where the dog doesn't have to miss out.
