We’ve been to MANY, MANY ristorante Italiani in London. We’ve been to a few restaurant français, just one Pan-Asian, many gastro pubs and a sampling of British restaurants (hmmm, which ones?). But we went to our first restaurante Espanol.
Along Seymour Place in Marylebone is a row of lovely restaurants. We were at dog-friendly Bernardi’s (one of the MANY Italians) last December. 
Lurra, which means “land” had opened not so long ago and Jacqui suggested we pooches give it a try as it is very dog-friendly. Mummy loved it! As for Jacqui – look at ALL those wine glasses! She’s really enjoying it!
I sat in my usual place – on the banquette
Miuccia and George stayed quietly on the floor.
Well, George, he had an outburst earlier when this dog appeared near our space. 
His owner thought George wanted to say “hello” but that was not a “hello” bark. He just didn’t like that un-neutered dog who was strutting his stuff. Didn’t bother Miuccia and I. Guess George was a bit jealous.
The diners at the next table loved having us there – they are dog-lovers too so we struck up a conversation. They each have dogs and now they know they can bring their doggies.
They had the much talked about rib-eye steak and they generously asked if us doggies would like some. YES!!!! Thank you!
Jacqui cut it up so we can all share. 
But as soon as it appeared, it disappeared. We’re all such gobblers! LOL!
Mummy, please vote that we stay in the EU. If we don’t all these wonderful Italians, French, Spanish restaurants may all go away. Then we’re down to jet gastro-pubs and pubs.
May’s comment:
Another lovely restaurant that is dog-friendly. London’s changing – maybe it’s the influence and presence of (some) the European countries where they seem less uptight about dogs in eating places. Italian, French now Spanish. Next one on the list – Portuguese.
Lurra serves a delicious Basque menu in an airy dining room – plus a basement and a courtyard. It is the sister restaurant to Donostia across the road. It was so good, already planning on going back!
Address: 9 Seymour Pl, London W1H 5BA

May, Darcy and George are a credit to you, I do not think my two would behave so well in a restaurant. I have sat outside with them and they have been good, but just for coffee. I think if steak or any other tasty thing were involved they would not behave. Please tell me they are not Angels 🙂 all the time.
They are NOT angels at all! Just persistence in getting them trained that they know their place. Darcy likes sitting on the banquette – she thinks she’s closer to food. George doesn’t know how to jump up so he stays down there. He’s actually a lot better than Darcy. But he had once stolen a piece of steak from someone’s plate in a dog-event at a restaurant so all were forgiving humans there and thought it was funny – I was appalled. Darcy had once stolen food form my plate when I wasn’t looking but I think now they know they will get food so they wait.
