Ruby's Café Mtl is described as a warm, dog-friendly brunch spot in Montreal where the dog-centered concept and friendly, lively vibes are as appealing as the food; human and dog menus, with items like meatballs and pupcakes, are praised for quality and presentation, and the setting is bright, casual and welcoming. Reservations are often recommended, especially for weekend brunch, as the venue can fill up quickly, and staff are noted for kindness and attentiveness. Patrons appreciate the chance to socialize their dogs and meet other pet lovers, sometimes with a small outdoor area or dog-friendly spaces, while a few reviews note slower service during peak times or occasional miscommunications. Overall, the experience remains positive and many plan to return for the food and dog-friendly ambiance.
We came from Ottawa with our pup for Mother's Day weekend & had the best time!
Everyone was so kind & welcoming. Almost every table had a doggy with them. All the dogs got along so well. It was truly the best brunch spot. Food was amazing & the place had the best vibes.
The pup menu was great as well, our Roo had the pupcake & loved it.
We will be back!
Brought my mom, aunt, wife, & kids for Mother's Day brunch & it was fantastic. We left the pups at home because they don't love the car & the kids are a lot. The food was great, it was cute inside & seeing so many dogs made everyone so happy.

Nous visitons régulièrement Ruby Café avec nos deux bouviers bernois, & nous ne sommes jamais déçus! Nous avons pris un jus d'orange fraîchement pressé, expressos & cafés au lait, un bagel au saumon & un grill cheese chorizo - on parle ici de sandwich gourmets! Nos deux chiens ont mangé un dessert glacé pour toutous à la banane & beurre d'arachide & se sont régalés. Le service est rapide, les portions généreuses. Vous devez réserver, surtout pour le déjeuner/brunch en fin de semaine car tout est toujours réservé - pas de place pour les walk-in!
We had an amazing brunch at Ruby's café. The food was delicious & good portion. We really enjoy the ambiance, chill & clean. Our dog was really welcome to the café where she got to meet new fur friends as well, so it was perfect for her social enrichment! It can get crowded so my recommendation would be to book a table in advance. Service can be slow when crowded, just be patient, the staff is super kind!

Great ambiance, location & place to take your dog. We take our Rupert here for brunches & celebrations & it is nice to find a place that is cutely decorated, good food, dog friendly & easy to park.
Great place to have brunch with your pooch.. it's not just pet friendly; it's pet-forward, pet-encouraging! All the servers were also extremely welcoming & friendly.
Was our 4th time there & every time is a pleasure. This most recent time was for their valentine's brunch & they made our pet & us feel so special. Always a good time & the food is amazing :)

We love Ruby Café. Even if we didn't have dogs, the food & atmosphere is always fun. But we especially love bringing our two pups to enjoy brunch with us. They get treated like kings & we enjoy our meals knowing they're happy. Win win!
Les brunchs sont succulents. Le service est généralement bon .Je m'attends à un service meilleur ou une ambiance meilleure pour les chiens. Hier, on avait pas le droit d'approcher une table avec des chiens en entraînement. Ceci a vraiment frustré mon chien & un moment de plaisir est devenu un moment de stress?& de gestions . Il est devenu anxieux & nous n'avons pas eu du plaisir.
Nous sommes allées pour un deuxième week-end consécutif à cet endroit magnifique où tu peux amener tes bebés poilus & profiter du confort & de la complicité de tout le personnel. Le service est impeccable & attentionné. Nous y retournerons sans doute bien pour prendre un café qu'un délicieux brunch du dimanche.
We went for brunch with our dog, & the place is truly unique, with many thoughtful amenities for pets. As it was our dog's first time in a dining setting, he was a bit stressed, but the staff were absolutely wonderful, very kind & considerate. I highly recommend this spot if you want to enjoy a lovely brunch without having to leave your doggo at home.

We had the best time at Ruby Cafe for brunch. We searched for pet friendly ideas for our day visiting Montreal & found this adorable place. Highly recommend Ruby Cafe!!
Ruby Dog Café is such a gem! The brunch menu was delicious, & what makes it extra special is that dogs are welcome to join you inside. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, & the staff made us feel right at home. My pup had the best time enjoying her pup cake while I enjoyed my meal. It's rare to find a place where both people & pets are treated so well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun & tasty brunch spot with their furry friend!
My family & I were visiting from Toronto & were so happy to find a pet friendly café so that we can enjoy brunch as a family. The restaurant is so beautiful. The staff were all very welcoming. Our pup had the best time & had his own seat. The food also did not disappoint, it was delicious! Would definitely recommend coming here. Everything was amazing!!
