Disappointing Return - Poor Service

We came here a couple of months ago & loved the place-great vibe, pet-friendly, & decent food despite the higher price (well within the typical Montréal range). We were very eager to come back with the great first experience we had.

Unfortunately, our return visit was nothing like the first. Despite having a reservation, we were told to wait while our table (already empty but dirty) was prepped. No problem-we waited patiently nearby. But after 15 minutes with no update, I glanced toward the waiter (long light hair), & he responded with a look full of contempt, like a silent'What do you want now?'

Caught off guard, I polity asked what he meant & just for an update. He snapped back in French,'Ben, quoi? Qu'est-ce que tu veux?'-It was rude, & frankly quite shocking. We were politely waiting on the side, & we did not deserve that type of response in any way. When I reminded him he had asked us to wait, he just shrugged it off with no apology. It was disappointing & honestly super disrespectful.

Eventually, another staff member seated us-at the same uncleaned table. We were given a bottle of water but no glasses, & it took another 10 minutes to order. I honestly wanted to leave, but since we were sitting, I did not feel comfortable doing that. My food & coffee were underwhelming (though my partner liked his pancakes), & they forgot our dog's order until we reminded them.

The only bright spot was a new waitress who seemed kind & genuinely tried her best.

I rarely leave reviews like this, especially as someone who's worked in the service industry, but this experience was frustrating & disappointing. We won't be returning. I can very well understand a busy morning or fast paced environment…but basic respect goes a long way. No one should leave a café feeling dismissed or disrespected. Very unfortunate.

This was one of the best pet friendly experiences i've had the chance to participate in. My friends, our dogs & I were so happy with our visit. The food (human & dog meal) options & drinks were so delicious. Very glad we came hungry. Everyone was so friendly & the few dogs that dressed up made us feel a bit underdressed, but we got over it pretty quick when we saw how much fun they all had. This is the best idea for a pet friendly cafe.View more

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.View more

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.View more

When the mercury hits close to 40c with humidex & thunderstorms, there's no better place to spend the day with your pooch than at a pet friendly indoor café with plentiful air conditioning! You can tell the servers love furry babies of all sizes & ages while serving delicious coffee to their humans. :)View more

This was our first time here & first time at a place where our dog is the main clientele which was amazing! When we made our reservations they even asked what your pets name is. Everything is firstly catered to your dog. They bring gold water bowls for them & there are plenty of tie out clips everywhere. The menu was great so many yummy options to pick from. The sloppy dog was soo good. The espresso machine was not working well when we went but the staff gave me drip coffee on the house! Everyone was very nice. They even have food they make for the dogs in the menu. Our pug Cheech had the loaf & he loved it! the atmosphere is great & I wish we had something like this back at home in Toronto.We Will definitely come back when we visit Montreal again.View more

One of my best experiences with a restaurant. The food was super tasty & in large portions. They paid a close attention to what pets need & also the detailed decorations in pet shapes. Strongly recommended even if you don't have a pet.View more

This is hands down the best pet-friendly restaurant we have ever been to. We like taking our dogs on vacation with us, & seeing them happy (with a plate of meatballs & meatloaf that they gave two non-opposable thumbs up) makes us happy. We came here 2 days in a row on our stay in Montreal & everything was perfect!

This place will likely turn off some people because it's a very pet friendly place. Don't be fooled !! The food was amazing. Good portion sizes, very complimentary sauces & accompagnements. Particularly enjoy the Le Berger grilled cheese & the two toast plate with cheese & fresh fruits. Such a great find.View more

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.

Lively place, be prepared for barks & dogs roaming around but if you enjoy taking your pet with you for brunch it makes for a great experience. The menu is creative & fun with some innovative take on brunch classics. Coffee is also good. Overall enjoyable experience with family & dog.

I love Ruby!!! The waitress I had was sweet & amazing!
I would say the only negative comment is not about the place, the food & it's workers. It's about the dog owners who arn't very careful about their pets.

Honestly, the food is inventive & delicious, the decoration is beautiful & amazing staff!

Thank you
