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.
Brunch très sympa dans un restaurant dog-friendly ! Les plats étaient bons, il y avait plein de chiens & une super ambiance. Ils servent aussi de la bière & il y a même un menu pour les chiens. J'y retournerai avec plaisir !

Vraiment contente de notre passage à Doggieville hier ! Le personnel est très à l'écoute des chiens & la nourriture est excellente ! Les assiettes sont superbes ! Gros hic cependant, le service qui semble très désorganisé. On avait pas de serveurs attitrés & peu de communication entre les intervenants. Aussi le service au comptoir était négligeant & peu satisfaisant. Mais quelle ambiance ! & quel beau lieu !
Such a great spot!!! The food is yummy, it's pet friendly, big & clean space. They have treats & food for pets as well! Our food was delicious. The coffee was a bit small but also great.
If you want an indoor brunch place to dine with pets, this is the place in Montreal. Nice atmosphere (assuming you want to see dogs). Good food, & a lot of it. Get a treat for your dog while here.
What a perfect place to celebrate my dog's Birthday! The food was delicious & the presentation of the plate is even better than advertised! Really chill atmosphere.
It would be so much easier & more comfortable for everyone if dogs can be off leash… the place is so luxurious & beautiful but the only inconvenience is that dogs have to be on leash all the time, which causes some issues for people who have excited dogs 😭🥺🩷

I had been wanting to try Ruby Café with my dog for a while & it did not disappoint. Such a lovely place for brunch. The lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing & my dog loved the meatballs. He even got a little cupcake for his birthday on the house. Staff were lovely.
The ambiance is great & nice. If dogs are allowed to be there without their leashes, it's great. & just that, i wont go back. The food looks good but too salty & they're trying too hadrd to make it fancy. I ate some sandwich but too much ingredients not too sure what i was tasting. The waitresses are super nice.
Very nice place for brunch. The food was good & the staff were great. The only issue is that people that bring their dog don't keep their dog close to them. They just let them pull towards others, not thinking how the other dog will feel.
