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.
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!

One of my favorite dining experiences! Brought my Beagle Roscoe who is 11, & he was treated like a king by the friendly staff as soon as he walked in! The dog menu is excellent & affordable. We also got the pancakes & pulled pork sandwich for us, & man those are so good too! Both dad, mom & pup all had a great lunch. Thank you Ruby Cafe!!
Ça fait 3-4 fois que nous y allons avec Kenji. On y trouve des options de déjeuners différentes des autres places. Très bon!! Le service est toujours numéro 1. La clientèle respectueuse... sachant qu'il y a d'autres chiens. De petits jappements ici & là, mais jamais trop. Les gens savent gérer leur toutou :-) Notre gros chien s'y sent bien. Jamais vu d'altercations. Bref, on adore!! P.S. Les boulettes pour chiens sont un incontournable.
Les plats sont excellents & valent leurs prix, super service & mention spéciale à toutes ces petites bestioles adorables qui entourent calmement les tables
I went to the Ruby Cafe Mtl today & it was amazing! The food was great. The service was phenomenal. The waitresses were so nice to us & to my dog: they brought her a water bowl & gave her a Halloween treat package. Everything was excellent 👏
Super friendly staff, the place is amazing ( so many dogs , everyone is happy to be there & have fun with the puppies , the food was delicious, fair price & good quality , I'll definitely be back for more !!!
At Ruby Café, that cozy neighborhood spot where even dogs get their moment of fame (& maybe a bite of your croissant if you look away for half a second 😅).
One of those rare Montreal gems where the coffee's great, the food's homemade, & the vibe's as relaxed as your furry sidekick. #RUBYCAFEMTL #Montreal
An amazing & real concept of a pet friendly restaurant. Dogs are treated like part of the family, from their own menu & space, bowls & hooks to attach their leash to. 4 stars because our server was terrible took forever to come take our order. The manager had to come check if we were taken care of & she took our order very nice. But then server forgot to bring our fries, They also ran out of what I order which was 2 eggs, toast & potatoes, & still charge us for the fries & breakfast we never got. We noticed after we walked out, went back & they did refund us. overall good pet friendly restaurant with good food but the service needs to get better.
J ai pris un roulé aux raisins, cappucino & un yogourt glacé pour mon beau puppy. Nous avons adoré l'endroit & l'attention, l'acceuil des employés pour notre première visite
Stopped here while visiting a friend in MTL. Lovely place, lovely vibe, friendly staff. Pet-friendly. 10/10 experience for dog owners even if they visit without their pooch.
Plusieurs choix sur le menu, nourriture excellente mais par contre, portions petites pour le prix. Service gentil mais pas toujours efficace. Très bel endroit pour les chiens. Dommage quon ne puisse plus utiliser la salle au deuxième étage pour faire jouer les chiens.
My family & I were visiting from Toronto & were so happy to find a pet friendly café so that we can enjoy brunch as a family. The restaurant is so beautiful. The staff were all very welcoming. Our pup had the best time & had his own seat. The food also did not disappoint, it was delicious! Would definitely recommend coming here. Everything was amazing!!
