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.
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!
Wow an experience like no other!
My wife Sophie, our little dog Kayla, & I had a delicious breakfast, & we were all treated like royalty, Kayla included!
I highly recommend Ruby Café to all dog lovers. The vibe was amazing, the service was welcoming, & the atmosphere made us feel right at home.
Came across this place when we were looking for a dog friendly place to have lunch & it was fantastic! Food was great, it was clean & bright, with lots of space for our pup. The staff were very pleasant as well. Would highly recommend!
We had the BEST experience here! Not only could we bring our pup in with us but he had his own little menu to order a treat from! The food was DELICIOUS & I was excited to have gf options. HIGHLY recommend
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!

Amazing place for dog owners/lovers. The food & drinks were amazing. The staff were awesome & the dog boutique was very nice! Highly recommend checking this place out if your ever in montreal
We had a wonderful time at Ruby Cafe with our pup! The food was delicious & the restaurant was so aesthetic, spacious, clean, &, of course, dog-friendly! We were so happy to be able to bring our dog to a restaurant indoors (!!!) & share this fun experience with her. Our food was fresh & delicious, & we brought some doggy food back for our pup too. We would highly recommend Ruby to all dog-lovers & dog-owners!
