The Westin Brisbane's Cafe and Lobby Bar Has Launched a Fine-Dining 'Pupfast' Menu for Dogs

Brunch dates, pre-work breakfasts, mid-morning snacks and leisurely lunches at one Brisbane hotel all just got an extra bark, plus something tasty for the cute canine in your life to bite into. Over at The Charles, the cafe and lobby bar at Mary Street's The Westin Brisbane in the CBD, a new 'pupfast' menu is now on offer until 1pm daily, filled with dishes and drinks that'll get your pooch's tale wagging.

Adding a dash of fine-dining to your dog's day, the just-unleashed canine culinary range starts with the bibim bark which, yes, gives the Korean rice dish a pupper-friendly spin. Doing just that with familiar meals is the whole focus of the 'pupfast' range, actually. So, with this option, Rex or Max can tuck into a mix of braised barramundi, carrots, peas, pumpkin, spinach, sesame and corn.

Also on the menu: woof bowls that feature an array of bone-shaped biscuits, cubes of natural gelatine beef stock and bite-sized beef meatballs seasoned with anchovies. There's the vin de woof, a beef broth that's made from beef bones, carrots, beetroot and celery, as well.

And, to sip, you can order your four-legged bestie a woofachino that's whipped up with beef broth and topped with a dog-friendly milk foam.

(Just imagine how adorable their cute little nose will look with a dot of foam on top, because you know that's exactly what'll happen.)

Unveiling the new menu, The Westin Brisbane Complex General Manager Brad Mercer said that it came about after observing that "dog owners love to take their pets out with them as they dine, but finding an appropriate spot can be challenging, let alone finding a location close to home and the CBD."

Yes, if you work in the city and your employer allows it, this also means you've got a new excuse to take your barking companion with you each day.

Among the lessons that the last few years have taught us, the joys of spending your working hours with your fluffy BFF — at home or in the office — is right up there. And you just know that your dog loves the company.

The Westin Brisbane's pupfast menu is available from The Charles, ground floor, 111 Mary Street, Brisbane from 7am–1pm daily.
