Instead of simply offering hungry canines the scraps from the table, this modern eatery gives patient pooches their very own entrees. Avenyfamiljen is a restaurant located in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a very unique pet policy. Unlike other restaurants, Avenyfamiljen has a canine-specific menu so that diners can treat their pet to a gourmet dinner while enjoying a meal of their own. These dog-friendly dishes include cod, organic beef and even a non-alcoholic 'dog beer' made from beef stock. While the dishes might be an upgrade from traditional pet food, the pet-friendly entrees are still highly affordable. Coinciding with the rise of [cat cafes and other animal-centric eateries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmers-market-for-dogs), this dog-friendly diner demonstrates the growing push for animal accommodation at restaurants. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pet-friendly Restaurant Menus:** Opportunity to create exclusive menus for pets, offering gourmet dishes and unique treats. - **Animal-centric Eateries:** Creating restaurants or cafes that cater specifically to animal lovers, providing a unique dining experience. - **Growing Demand for Animal Accommodation:** The increasing desire for restaurants to accommodate pets and create a welcoming environment for animals and their owners. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Opportunity for restaurants to differentiate themselves by offering pet-friendly menus and creating unique dining experiences for animal lovers. - **Pet Food and Beverage:** An opportunity to develop high-quality gourmet pet food and non-alcoholic beverages specifically designed for pets. - **Animal Services and Entertainment:** Expanding the market for animal-centric services and entertainment, such as pet-friendly restaurants and cafes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog-Friendly Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogue.md) - [Dog-Friendly Patio Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-patio-menu.md) - [Seasonal Pet-Friendly Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-friendly-menu.md) - [Dog-Friendly Patio Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beertown-public-house.md) - [Dog-Friendly QSR Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pup-patty.md) - [Dog-Friendly Dining Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-restaurant-weekend.md) - [Dog-Friendly Dining Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-restaurant-weekend-2025.md) - [Pet-Friendly Victoria Breweries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-under-water.md) - [Diner-Style Dog Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diner-cans.md)
