A Pawsome Guide for Dining with Your Dog
The Michelin Guide has officially recognized the culinary excellence of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, placing these cities among the most exciting dining destinations in North America. From tasting menus to modern bistros and innovative kitchens, each city offers extraordinary cuisine that attracts visitors from around the world.
At Pawsome Concierge we believe memorable dining moments become even better when shared with your furry companion. While regulations in Quebec restrict indoor dining with pets, all three cities offer exceptional restaurants with pet friendly patios. This guide highlights top Michelin recognized and Michelin level outdoor dining spaces where pets are welcome.
Understanding MAPAQ Rules in Quebec
In Quebec, MAPAQ regulations do not allow pets other than certified service animals inside restaurants or enclosed dining areas.
However, restaurants may welcome pets on outdoor patios and terraces at their discretion.
All Montreal listings below refer specifically to patio seating. Always contact the restaurant to confirm their current policy.
