Pet-Friendly Cafés and Terrasses in Montréal

A Griffintown café built around dogs rather than merely tolerating them, with a grooming salon on the same premises. Dogs come inside, meet each other and settle at their owner's feet while the humans work through lattes and pastries. It is the one Montréal address where an indoor coffee with your dog is the entire point.

Part specialty coffee bar, part graphic-art boutique, this Saint-Denis address welcomes dogs both inside and on its small terrasse, and keeps water bowls on hand. The coffee is properly made and the counter runs to empanadas, scones and banana bread, with vegan and gluten-free options. It sits in the middle of the Plateau, so it works as a stop on a long leashed walk rather than a destination in itself.

An industrial taproom close to the Lachine Canal, with vaulted ceilings, visible tanks and a boutique on site. Leashed dogs are welcome in the taproom and on the terrasse, and water bowls are kept around the room. It is the natural refuel stop after a long canal-side walk from the Old Port.
