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.
I can only assume my dog loved the food since it wasn't around long enough to see very long. This was also the first time he's ever ignored me & taken food from the plate off the table while I was getting it ready for him. The human food was good too! Fries are definitely worth coming back for.
Best place to go with your puppy. The atmosphere is amazing & the food is delicious. Loved it so much that I will keep going & will definitely bring friends. The staff is great, they even bring water bowls for the pups. My pup loves the doggie meatballs. Thank you Ruby Cafe. See you soon
Great food, good service & lovely ambiance.
The owners know how to take care of humans & dogs ;)
This is the only place in Montreal where you can come eat with your friends without leaving your dog alone at home, whatever the season.
PS: the French toast sticks are to die for!!
Service insuffisant. On a attendu une vingtaine de minutes avant d'avoir de l'eau. Ça a pris presque une heure avant d'avoir notre premier café. L'homme au comptoir & celui qui nous a fait payer ne parlent pas du tout français. La seule & unique serveuse était très sympathique mais a oublié notre demande pour d'autre café. Bref, service très décevant.

Le service était très désorganisé & a pris beaucoup de temps. Je crois qu'il manquait au moins une personne à l'équipe de service qui sont très gentils mais absolument dépassés. Notre serveur semblait en charge de la caisse & était souvent bloqué à recevoir tous les clients. Des gens arrivés bien après nous avaient déjà le bol d'eau de leur chien & leurs breuvages quand nous l'avons demandé pour la deuxième fois, & j'ai dû me lever pour commander quelque chose. L'une de nous a reçu son café après que nos assiettes aient été ramassées. Nous avons dû transférer en anglais pour nous faire comprendre. Il faudrait installer des crochets pour toutes les tables. Nous étions dans une section qui n'en avait pas du tout.
The most amazing brunch ever, PLUS pups! Perfection. The food was delicious, & their accommodations for our furry friends made it such a fun time for the whole family.
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
As a tourist with a dog, we found Montreal a bit difficult to navigate trying to find places to eat. We expect outdoor seating. Ruby Cafe is a novel idea. Well thought out. Food & service was great. We would definitely recommend Ruby Cafe for a visit.
