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 had an amazing brunch at Ruby Cafe with our puppies. The vibe is awesome & the food matched the atmosphere. We had the smiley breakfast, smoked salmon bagel & French sticks & our puppies loved the meatballs & pup cake. Service was also friendly & attentive. There is even a fenced in area to take your dog after to run & play. This is a great concept & we can't wait to return!

So nice to be able to bring our dog with us for brunch! The food is very flavourful & the menu is not overwhelming. We will definitely go back......with our dog!
The food was tasty, the staff were friendly & it was lovely to have our dog come with us to brunch. We shall be back....
Only one issue - If the staff have nothing to do, may I suggest they do not look at their phones & act bored?
Thanks

Great little spot for brunch where pets are allowed. I've been several times & the experience was pleasant every time. Friendly staff, good ambiance, responsible dog owners that frequent the establishment. Definitely recommend. Wish there were more spots in Montreal like this little gem.
Beautiful place, nice food, free parking. The service was bit slow but really, who cares when you're surrounded by cute pets (including your own)! Loved the experience & will be back for sure.
It's about the only place I know of where you can dine with your dog, inside the restaurant. Which is particularly brilliant during winter. The food is great & always beautifully arranged. Bonus options in the menu for dogs (loaf, meatballs, cakes & more). The staff is always very nice.
