Top 10 Dog-Friendly Patios in Montréal

Plan a Montréal patio outing with your dog, with neighbourhood highlights, brewery stops and nearby walks to make a day of it.

Montréal was made for summer.

The city comes alive the moment the snow disappears. Streets fill with music, neighbourhoods spill onto beautiful terrasses, and suddenly every walk feels like an adventure waiting to happen.

Fortunately for dog lovers, Montréal has become increasingly welcoming to four-legged companions. Since changes to Québec regulations in 2025, many restaurants, breweries, and cafés have embraced dog-friendly patio culture, making it easier than ever to include your best friend in your summer plans.

Whether you're exploring the Plateau, wandering through Mile End, or enjoying the waterfront, these are some of Montréal's best dog-friendly patios and terrasses.
