Montréal’s café culture runs deep, and many neighbourhood spots are quietly very welcoming to leashed, well-mannered dogs — particularly on terrasses from May through October. Always greet the staff and confirm the day’s policy.

1. Café Olimpico (Mile End)

An iconic terrasse and a regular gathering point for Mile End dog walkers.

2. Pikolo Espresso Bar (Quartier des Spectacles)

Outdoor seating and a calm crowd; well-behaved dogs welcomed.

3. Café Myriade (multiple)

Patio seating at several locations; the Mackay Street original is most reliable.

4. Tunnel Espresso Bar (Old Montréal)

Bench seating on a hidden lane — dogs welcome alongside.

5. Lili.Co (Petite-Italie)

Sidewalk terrasse and a long-standing welcome for dogs.

6. Café Saint-Henri (Petite-Italie, Mile End)

Patios at most cafés; the Mile End site has the most space.

7. Toi Moi & Café (Outremont)

Larger terrasse, kid-and-dog friendly.

8. Le Couteau (Plateau)

Front terrasse, neighbourhood favourite for dog regulars.

9. Crew Collective & Café (Old Montréal)

Grand interior is people-only, but the front patio welcomes dogs in summer.

10. Larrys (Mile End)

Tiny terrasse with a reliably warm welcome.
