Edinburgh restaurant launches dog menu so owners can dine with their pets

A Japanese restaurant in Edinburgh has launched a dog menu so pet owners can now dine with their pooches.

Maki & Ramen, which has six branches in Scotland, brought the idea to life at the restaurant in St James' Quarter after their customers kept asking if the venue was 'dog friendly'.

The family-run restaurant teamed up with a pet shop to give dogs a chance to dine in style with their owners.

The menu, Woof Treats, offers a choice of seven natural treats, suitable for all dog breeds and ages.

The eatery teamed up with Dofos pet shop - the oldest pet shop in the Scottish capital - and the concept will launch on Friday, April 22.

Choices include beef spaghetti or biltong, which can be cut up into smaller portions, while 'coins' of duck, lamb and turkey are also available.

Media manager Effie Koutroumanou, 30, said: "Edinburgh is an amazing city with so much green space, and so many pet owners.

"All our customers were asking us 'is it dog friendly'?

"Our restaurant in St James Quarter has this amazing space which is like a yard. The owners and their furry friends can come in and enjoy a nice meal.

"The dogs will sit on the floor to keep everyone happy.

"We have eight or nine tables outside, we can host more than 30 people. We don't have a limit on the number of pets which can come, as long as the owners are happy."

Effie added: "We wanted to collaborate with a local business in Edinurgh. The reason we chose those specific treats is they are all natural. All dogs, all ages, all sizes are welcome.

"We are expecting it to be popular."

Smaller treats cost £2.20, while larger portions cost £6.80. The restaurant doesn't accept reservations, so customers can just pop in.
