Made for dogs, humans welcome

Other places allow dogs. Ruby Café was made for them.

Ruby Café MTL is named after Ruby, the Bichon Frisé of Doggieville founder Tatiana Custode, and she is still the chief taste-tester: if Ruby approves a recipe, it goes on the menu. The café opened in 2021 at the front of Doggieville MTL, in a restored 1919 brick building by the Lachine Canal.

  • A seat at the table

    Your dog sits with you, not tied up outside, and water and food bowls arrive when you sit down.

  • A menu of their own

    Doggie plates homemade in our kitchen from turkey, beef, sweet potato, oats and carrots, from $4.99.

  • Dog beer and froyo

    Alcohol-free dog beer and probiotic frozen yogurt, so your dog can make a toast too.

  • A whole dog resort next door

    Daycare, grooming, a private indoor pool and a pet boutique in the same building.
