Compared to other cities, Montreal doesn't have too many places where you can bring your four-legged pal for some wine-and-dine. As a dog owner, I'm constantly searching for new places where I can relax with my dog while sipping a latte or having a meal.
There are a growing number of businesses that are allowing you to bring along your pup, and just in time for all the summer foot traffic. Some even offer a full dog-safe menu so everyone can fill their foodie cravings. Just make sure to double-check with staff and bring your pup on their best behaviour.
