One of my favorite dining experiences! Brought my Beagle Roscoe who is 11, and he was treated like a king by the friendly staff as soon as he walked in! The dog menu is excellent and affordable. We also got the pancakes and pulled pork sandwich for us, and man those are so good too! Both dad, mom and pup all had a great lunch. Thank you Ruby Cafe!!

If you are looking for an experience with attentive staff, good food and a beautiful historical building , this is where you want to be. I’m a recurring patron and the dogs love the atmosphere and their special menu, they recommend the meatballs.

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!

The food and staff were excellent. Everyone’s entrees were delicious. We had brunch with some of their sandwiches which were so good. The coffee drinks were great with latte art. They were very kind to our kids and it was comfortable seating with handicap accessibility. There are clean bathrooms and good parking.

We came from Ottawa with our pup for Mother’s Day weekend and had the best time! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Almost every table had a doggy with them. All the dogs got along so well. It was truly the best brunch spot. Food was amazing and the place had the best vibes. The pup menu was great as well, our Roo had the pupcake and loved it. We will be back!

Absolutely magnificent experience for lovers of dogs and good food! Ruby Cafe is a very attractive restaurant and has amazing French-inspired cuisine, which makes it even more surprising that they allow dogs! The servers love dogs too, and will treat yours like gold! Best restaurant experience I've ever had with my dog!
