Ruby's Café Mtl is portrayed in many reviews as a welcoming, dog friendly spot where pets can dine inside, often with a dedicated dog menu, bowls, and even a small fenced area or dog park outside and sometimes a dog pool, which makes it a favorite for brunch with dogs. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm, cozy, and lively, with people appreciating the ambiance and the focus on pets as part of the experience. Food receives mixed notes: many praise the quality and variety for humans and pups, from french toast sticks and grilled cheese to meatballs for dogs, while some meals are described as pricey for the value or not as impressive, and a few visits report underwhelming portions or service missteps. Service is noted as both highly attentive and slow or disorganized on busy days, with stories of forgetfulness and late drinks tempered by reports of friendly staff who go the extra mile during tougher moments. The overall sentiment leans positive, especially for dog lovers seeking a place to eat with their four legged friends, with advice to book ahead, be patient at peak times, and enjoy the kid friendly and pet friendly vibe that Ruby's Café Mtl provides.
If you want an indoor brunch place to dine with pets, this is the place in Montreal. Nice atmosphere (assuming you want to see dogs). Good food, & a lot of it. Get a treat for your dog while here.
I had been wanting to try Ruby Café with my dog for a while & it did not disappoint. Such a lovely place for brunch. The lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing & my dog loved the meatballs. He even got a little cupcake for his birthday on the house. Staff were lovely.

Very nice place for brunch. The food was good & the staff were great. The only issue is that people that bring their dog don't keep their dog close to them. They just let them pull towards others, not thinking how the other dog will feel.
Si vous avez un chien & aimez profiter d'un bon repas dans un cadre charmant, Ruby Café MTL est le lieu à ne pas manquer! Ce restaurant véritablement pet-friendly vous accueille avec chaleur & attention, pour que vous & votre compagnon à quatre pattes passiez un moment inoubliable. Le cadre est non seulement agréable & stylé, mais la nourriture est délicieuse! Que ce soit pour un brunch, un café ou un repas complet, tout est savoureux & soigneusement préparé. Nos visites ici sont toujours une joie, & notre chien adore autant l'endroit que nous! Ruby Café MTL est bien plus qu'un simple café, c'est un lieu où humains & animaux se sentent comme à la maison. Ne manquez pas de le visiter, c'est une petite pépite pour les amoureux des animaux & de la bonne cuisine.
We visited Ruby Café on a Sunday morning to celebrate our Yorkshire Terrier's first birthday, & it was a fantastic experience! The service was excellent, & the brunch menu, priced around $20 per person, was both reasonable & delicious. We treated our pup to a small pupcake, & they even provided a candle, which was a nice touch. The ambiance is lovely, the place is very clean, & it's clear they care about both their human & furry guests. I highly recommend this spot to other dog owners. Plus, with the Lachine Canal just across the street, it's the perfect place to take your dog for a walk after brunch. We'll definitely be back!
Nous avons brunchés avec des amis sous une réservation. Les points positifs: le cadre somptueux, confortable & mettant à l'honneur nos boules de poils remplies d'amour. Tout est pensé avec soin. La propreté est de mise! Axe d'amélioration: La cuisine! Les plats ne sont pas spécialement bon. Mon époux a précisé au serveur ne pas vouloir de sucré-salé. Le serveur a recommandé le « SLOPPY DOG », immangeable car le porc effiloché n'avait que le goût du sirop d'érable. Impossible de le manger. Le BAGEL: le pain Bagel était dur & froid donc pas agréable à déguster. Sincèrement, la facture fut assez onéreuse pour ce que c'est! Toutefois, nous y retournerons tout simplement pour le lieu & l'ambiance ainsi que les activités proposées pour nos chiens sans forcément nous sustenter.

By far one of the best brunch places in Montreal! I believe the breakfast/brunch is only available on the weekends however. Do make a reservation as this is a very popular spot! Unique tasty dishes, beautifully presented. I would come here even if we didn't have a dog in the family. Five stars for food. :)
Quelle surprise de voir qu'il s'agit d'un dog café. Nous avons eu la chance de bruncher autour de beaucoup de chiens dont 3 corgis adorables. Concernant la cuisine, bien que les plats mettent du temps à arriver nous nous sommes régalés. Le pancake est un pur délice. La sauce accompagnant les frites est aussi délicieuse. Si je retourne à Montréal je reviendrai avec plaisi
La place est superbe, le café est beau, & les installation parfaite pour pitou, notamment les bols à disposition, ainsi que la piscine puis l'hôtel. Original & très apprécié il a même une petite boutique attenante . Le service & la nourriture au café laisse toutefois & à désirer en plus j'ai laissé 18% & le Service très très lent, il n'y avait pourtant pas beaucoup de gens & le menu vraiment pas fameux . Je n'ai pas tant aimé le brunch que j'ai prise & les pancakes avaient un goût de sel amer. 🧂 une prochaine fois peut être cela sera mieux! Mes étoiles c'est uniquement pour le service au café , j'ai pas essayer la piscine & l'hôtel!
Brought our puppy here & had brunch. The food was very good & reasonably priced. The dog treats & food are also reasonably priced & good quality. I would highly recommend this place.
Bonne experience, j'y reviendrais. Mes maîtres ont vraiment aimé le brunch de croquettes qu'ils ont commandé! L'ambiance est parfaite! Luna, 2 mois 🐕 (Essayez de respecter les emplacements dehors sur le parking car il y a des gens qui ont bloqué l'accès à notre espace pour chien & pour garer les vélos le 6/04/24) merci 🐕🐕
Amazing spaces. Very modern & beautiful. I love the pool for the pups (at an extra cost) & the little shop for doggos. A bit expensive but you definitely see the quality. The experience to come brunch with your furry friend & have them socialize is great. Food was excellent & there is a view inside the kitchen which is beautiful. Definitely recommend. Only disappointed about the opening hours, wish they could be open during the week for study sessions with my pup.
We love coming for brunch with our pup! Not only is it fun for us but also for our pup & wish more places would welcome our pups! Food is always delicious & fresh ! Smoothies are delicious & healthy! Thank you!!
