Following what seems to be an explosion of feline-focused cafes in recent years, Montreal is finally establishing a solution in the form of a dog cafe. For puppy people and dog lovers, the venue will be called Le Doggy Café and will be located in the Plateau. Set to open in January 2015, the restaurant will allow customers to bring their canine pals in, rather than tying them up outside.
The menu will be entirely vegetarian, including vegan and gluten-free options as well as cakes, grilled cheese sandwiches, salads, smoothies and (of course) homemade doggy treats. The dog cafe will also hold a variety of dog training workshops such as "canine cuisine classes" for you and your pup.
