SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco is a gourmet paradise filled with Michelin-starred restaurants. And San Francisco people love dogs. So it may come as no surprise that one entrepreneur decided to combine his two passions and create what is believed to be the first restaurant made exclusively for man’s best friend.
Rhyming with fashion, Dogue opened last month in the city’s trendy Mission district.
For $75 per dog, Doggie diners can get a multi-course “Bone Appetite” featuring dishes like chicken skin waffles and filet mignon steak tartare with quail eggs.
Also included are pup human mimosas and baked goods.

Some critics have expressed outrage online about the price of pampered pets, pointing to income inequality, gentrification and urban homelessness. For the cost of a tasting menu, he can buy at least five large burritos at one of the many nearby taquerias in the Mission District.
