In light of "Dogust first" fast approaching, we thought we'd put together a list of dog-friendly terraces and cafés across the island of Montreal.
If you don't know, "Dogust first" (which takes place on August 1st) is the national holiday where we celebrate the collective birthdays of all the dogs in shelters and rescues who have not yet found their forever home.
So, if you'd like to celebrate Dogust first with your pooch, be sure to check out these cafés, bistros, bars, and terraces, and give your pup a little extra love.

Microbrasserie Kahnawake Brewing Co.
Kahnawake Brewing Company, the first Native-owned microbrewery on a First Nation's territory in Canada, started its journey in 2016 with a mission to change the beer landscape in the community.
After approximately a year and a half of determination and collaborative discussions to assist in the creation of the regulations for beer production in Kahnawake, KBC served their first pint on Saint Patrick's Day 2018.
Kahnawake Brewing Company has been making waves with their beers inside and outside of the community; a product of their focus on quality, creativity, authenticity, and community.
Ruby's Café
Ruby has always been pretty picky when it comes to food. It has never been easy to satisfy her fine palate.
When Ruby Café from DoggieVille MTL was created, owner Tatiana Custode named the restaurant after her pup Ruby. If Ruby approves of the chef’s creations, it means the food meets her high-quality standards.
Now Ruby’s Café is delighting doggie parents and furry visitors with a wide variety of nutritious and tasty options.
