Good food at the Black Dog Pub and Bistro

Think globally, eat locally.

That’s our mandate at the Black Dog where our seasonal menus feature as many local foods as we are able to source including cheese, meat, fish and produce.

Everything on our menu is made in our kitchen, including our Irish soda bread, fantastic soups, vinaigrettes, sauces, renowned burgers, full-flavoured curries, daily specials and creative desserts.

We’re all about true taste and big flavour, a philosophy that is reinforced on a daily basis.
