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 visited Ruby's Montreal Coffee to celebrate our dog Tupper's birthday, & it was perfect. The place was very clean, the service was great, & the food was delicious. Tupper had an amazing time!

Great staff, food & facilities. My only complaint is that there is a strong scent of air freshener which seems to be automatically sprayed every 10 or so minutes. I'm super scent sensitive & unfortunately this will deter me from returning
If you have a dog & haven't visited this place yet, you're really missing out. The food & drinks are excellent, the people are super friendly, & you'll be surrounded by adorable dogs. They even have a dog pool-just make sure to book in advance. A must-visit spot! & don't leave without trying the pulled pork burger.
C'est toujours une sortie fort agréable. Mademoiselle la teckelle est définitivement de mon avis. & même sans chien, c'est un super endroit pour de super déjeuners!
The staff was friendly & accommodating. It really felt like they enjoy working there. My partner & I went with our dog who was a little nervous & one of the waitresses there knelt down & made him feel welcomed petting our dog & chatting with us about him. The food was really good, we got the french toast sticks. We got two orders of meatballs for our pup, & a cupcake. He really enjoyed those! The place was decorated for the holidays, it looked really nice & homey! I recommend this place, all the lil doggos seemed to enjoy their time there, including mine who got to socialize. I enjoyed watching the dogs interact with each other, it was such a wholesome time!
