A Restaurant That Feeds More Than Just People: Restobar Dickens Opens Its Doors and Heart to Stray Dogs

In a world where “No Pets Allowed” signs are all too common, there’s one small restaurant quietly rewriting the rules—with compassion, not policies.

At Restobar Dickens, a cozy eatery nestled in a corner of the city, customers are greeted not just by the aroma of delicious food, but sometimes by the soft eyes and wagging tails of furry visitors. And if you look up, you’ll see a sign that tells you everything you need to know about this special place:

“We ask all our customers with all our hearts not to be upset by the number of stray dogs that may be in the restaurant.
We are a pet-friendly place and we give water, food, and lots of love to these sweet angels.
I’m sorry if it bothers you, but they’re not doing anything wrong, they’re just looking for food or shelter.
Thank you very much!”

At a glance, it’s just a handwritten notice. But behind those simple words is a story of dignity, kindness,

 and quiet resistance against a world that often turns away from its most vulnerable.

Instead of shooing away the homeless animals that wander near, the staff at Restobar Dickens welcomes them. They don’t just tolerate the presence of stray dogs—they serve them. They offer food, water, and most importantly, a moment of safety in an unpredictable world. Regulars know the drill: a warm meal for you, and a little kindness for the four-legged souls curled quietly by a table.

Some might complain. Some might raise eyebrows. But the restaurant is unapologetic. “They’re not doing anything wrong,” the sign gently reminds us. And in those words lies a deeper truth—these animals are not pests, they are survivors, seekers of warmth and care.

In a time where so many walk past suffering with eyes averted, Restobar Dickens chooses to see. To feed. To care. No social media campaigns. No viral videos. Just consistent, quiet compassion—served daily.

So next time you visit, don’t be surprised if your dinner comes with a soft nudge from a grateful nose or the calming presence of a dog resting nearby. Here, kindness is on the menu—for everyone.
