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.
Came across this place when we were looking for a dog friendly place to have lunch & it was fantastic! Food was great, it was clean & bright, with lots of space for our pup. The staff were very pleasant as well. Would highly recommend!

Upscale restaurant where pet owners can enjoy a meal with their dogs by their side. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, making it a great spot for both humans & their furry companions. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean the place was-despite being dog-friendly, there was no trace of pet hair anywhere, including in our food. The service was a bit on the slower side, but the quality of the meal made up for it. The clientele here definitely isn't on a budget; we felt like the most broke people there with our Toyota parked among the luxury cars. We ordered two plates & one coffee, with a total bill of $57. One thing that did rub me the wrong way was that the only tip option was 18% & more which almost made me want to leave 0%, Still, it's a great spot if you're looking for a clean, pet-friendly place with good food & a bit of luxury.

Super experience for us & our puppy.Food was fantastic & the atmosphere was so friendly.Our puppy played with many other dogs. Perfect adventure for all of us
Great place to meet up with dog friends. The doggie menu appears to be delicious according to how the dogs devour them. & they have gluten free bread an alternative to their regular bread & pita 😊
Resto très dog friendly! Bouffe exceptionnelle ! J'ai été agréablement surprise ! Tout est accommodé pour les chiens il y a même un parc à chien ! J'y retournerai absolument !!

The food was great, ambiance was really nice & my dog had the best time. She was exhausted from all the social stimulation afterwards. There are little hooks to attach your dog's leash & lots of space for them to walk around the table.
La nourriture est délicieuse La salle à manger très propre pour un endroit où les chiens sont les bienvenus Très beau décor & justement toujours plaisant de pouvoir amener notre compagnon à 4 pattes qui est rarement admis dans les restaurants

I love the concept & the fact that there is also a menu for your furry friends & by default they bring water for them. The place is really nice & all the dishes looked amazing. The only issue I had is that I am a vegetarian & I asked if the dish I wanted could come without any meat. I asked if the meat was already mixed or not because if it was, I would just order something else. They assured me it wasn't & that they would bring me a vegetarian version. However, I found many pieces of meat in my dish. So they either forgot that I asked it to be vegetarian & removed the meat on the spot, or the meat was indeed mixed during prep & they just removed it to make it vegetarian for me. I normally don't even like using the same pan where meat was cooked, so if I had known it would come with meat, I would just have ordered something else. So, my recommendation is if you are a vegetarian, just order something vegetarian from the start.
A nice spot but the food & service were just okay. Mostly I felt a bit ignored by the staff. Edit: I went back for table service & honestly the experience was incredible. Staff was very responsive & quick. Food (pancakes & grilled cheese & fries) were very very good. Grilled cheese was covered in a syrup, so a little sweet, but still very good & savory! I recommend the golden latte as well!
We visited Ruby Café on a Sunday morning to celebrate our Yorkshire Terrier's first birthday, & it was a fantastic experience! The service was excellent, & the brunch menu, priced around $20 per person, was both reasonable & delicious. We treated our pup to a small pupcake, & they even provided a candle, which was a nice touch. The ambiance is lovely, the place is very clean, & it's clear they care about both their human & furry guests. I highly recommend this spot to other dog owners. Plus, with the Lachine Canal just across the street, it's the perfect place to take your dog for a walk after brunch. We'll definitely be back!
