Star Cafe

Star Café:

Great Italian food in pet-friendly Montrose

Montrose is a real breath of fresh air, and seems like a town where time has stood still. Many of the shops and restaurants have been in existence for many years and turnover is low. Many of the restaurants have pet-friendly sidewalk dining, most of which faces Honolulu Avenue, Montrose’s quaint main street. The Star Café (and neighboring Black Cow restaurant, which are owned by the same company) are very popular, moderately priced, and welcome your dog in their sidewalk dining areas.

For you: Star Café is best known for its pizza and pasta (their pesto shrimp & andoulli sausage fettuccine looks especially dee-lish), although they have great salads as well. We like the Italian-Style Chopped Salad, which is chock-full of goodies like salami, garbanzo beans, turkey, Roma tomatoes, and mozzarella and provolone cheeses.

For the pooch: Upon request, the cook can make a side of grilled chicken for your dog for a very reasonable price.
