Tucked along Laxman Jhula Road near Lakshman Jhula in Tapovan, Little Buddha Cafe is one of the more talked-about names for pet parents scouting a pet friendly restaurant in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. Dogs and cats are welcome here, and the good news for anyone road-tripping through the hills with a furry companion is that there's no extra charge for bringing them along.
🐾 For pet parents
Pets stay free, no extra charge, and both dogs and cats are allowed on the property, with no breed restrictions confirmed. This listing was checked by phone on 25 August 2026, and Divya Bakshi confirmed the pet policy directly with the property team. One important detail worth knowing before you head over: pets are not permitted inside the dining area or near the swimming pool, so plan your visit accordingly if you're travelling with a dog or cat.
The Café
Little Buddha Cafe sits right by Lakshman Jhula, in the heart of Tapovan, an area popular with travellers doing the Rishikesh loop of yoga, riverside walks, and long café stops. For anyone searching for a dog friendly restaurant in Rishikesh while exploring this stretch, its location near the famous jhula makes it an easy add-on to a day out.
This works well as a day-outing stop rather than a full sit-down meal with your pet at the table, given the dining area restriction. It's a good example of restaurants that allow dogs in India taking a middle path, pets are genuinely welcome on the premises, just not everywhere on it.
Pet Policy
Little Buddha Cafe allows both dogs and cats, and pets stay free, no extra charge. Dog size restrictions are not confirmed, and there are no breed restrictions confirmed either. However, based on direct phone verification, pets are not allowed inside the dining area or the swimming pool area of the property. Confirm with the property directly if you have specific questions about where exactly on the premises your pet can accompany you, especially if you're planning to eat out with your dog in Rishikesh and want to know the layout beforehand.
