Basically I'd say the only thing this place has going for itself is the fact that it's dog-friendly.When I came in and sat with my friend, we talked for about 20 minutes before someone finally came to take our orders. We mentioned that we had not been provided with menus, to which we were told that we had to use the QR code. Fine, but that would have been good to know when we first came in rather than 20 mins later.So I'm finally looking at the menu and realize how very few options they had. Most of them consisted of some sort of grilled cheese. There were very few protein options.My friend and I were given a single glass and a bottle of water. We mentioned we needed another glass as we were two people. It did not come.Finally I ordered the French toast sticks, and again I asked for another glass.The sticks were nice but it said they came with powdered sugar, and they in fact did not. Still, I had no cup to drink from. I asked a different waitress for it, and I finally got one.My friend had also ordered a cupcake for her dog to come with our food. Another thing that never came. We asked two different waitresses for it. Still nothing. They were busy playing with the dogs. My friend eventually just had to get up and get the cupcake at the counter. At least the dog seemed to enjoy it, so there was that.I would not go there again. It is severely overpriced, offers very limited options, and the service is one of the worst I've ever experienced.
Reviews / Ratings for RUBY CAFÉ MTL, Pet Friendly Restaurant, Brunch Restaurant Montreal
Great place to have brunch with your pooch.. it’s not just pet friendly; it’s pet-forward, pet-encouraging! All the servers were also extremely welcoming and friendly.
Such a fabulous spot with great food to catch up with friends and bring our dogs.
Was our 4th time there and every time is a pleasure. This most recent time was for their valentine's brunch and they made our pet and us feel so special. Always a good time and the food is amazing :)
Great food and atmosphere. Nice to have my puppy fully accepted at a restaurant.
We love Ruby Café. Even if we didn't have dogs, the food and atmosphere is always fun. But we especially love bringing our two pups to enjoy brunch with us. They get treated like kings and we enjoy our meals knowing they're happy. Win win!
I love to be able to go to a cafe with my dog ❤️
Food and service was average to be honest. Be aware of extra charges. I was charged a 23% service fee that wasn’t clearly disclosed as a percentage—only the final dollar amount appeared on the bill for a group of 9 people. I don’t mind service fees when they’re transparent, but this felt misleading. The café is cute, but this left a bad impression.
I went there with my dog for the first time and i was pleased. Food is good, service also. They even have a small dog park outside for your furry friend to run and play
Service was least to be desired. Very unorganized. Don’t check in on you, have to beg for water.
Very pleasant restaurant and a nice place to enjoy a nice meal with our pooches.
Great experience. Go visit it. Even withougt a pet just go and enjoy the atmosphere there!
During patio season, our pup is right there with us, but come winter there are so few options to bring him along for indoor restaurant meals… Ruby’s really makes you wonder what the big deal with allowing dogs. This place is clean, chill & quiet (when we were there anyway), and super enjoyable!! The food was great and our pup was thrilled that we ordered him the meatballs. We were only in town for a few hrs, to pick something up, and Ruby Café was a highlight on that winter day.
Such a great experience at Ruby Café! I went with my dog Dax and we both left very happy. Dax tried the Woof Meatballs and absolutely loved them 🐶, and I had the classic grilled cheese with a latte, simple, comforting, and perfectly done. The food was delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and the dog-friendly vibe made it even better. Everything from start to finish was perfect. We’ll definitely be back!
We had the best time at Ruby Cafe for brunch. We searched for pet friendly ideas for our day visiting Montreal and found this adorable place. Highly recommend Ruby Cafe!!
Amazing place
