# Canine-Centered Cafes This Vegetarian Dog Cafe Will Be Opening in Montreal in the New Year By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-12-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-cafe References: [mtlblog](http://www.mtlblog.com/2014/12/montreals-first-doggy-cafe-will-open-next-month-in-the-plateau/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/LeDoggyCafe/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Canine-focused Cafes:** Opportunity for other cities to establish dog cafes, catering to the growing demand for pet-friendly spaces. - **Vegetarian and Vegan Menus:** Restaurants and cafes can explore the demand for plant-based options, appealing to both human and pet customers. - **Pet Training Workshops:** Opportunity for businesses to offer specialized training classes and workshops for dog owners and their pets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Hotels, resorts, and restaurants can incorporate pet-friendly policies and amenities to attract more customers. - **Food and Beverage:** Food establishments can explore and expand their vegetarian and vegan menu options to cater to a growing market. - **Pet Care and Training:** Opportunity for pet care centers, training facilities, and specialized pet services to offer tailored workshops and classes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canine-Friendly Restaurant Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-villa.md) - [Dog-Friendly Cafe Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-pawttage.md) - [Dog-Friendly Patio Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-patio-menu.md) - [Seasonal Pet-Friendly Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-friendly-menu.md) - [Dog-Friendly Patio Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beertown-public-house.md) - [Dog-Friendly QSR Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pup-patty.md) - [Dog-Friendly Instant Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barkista.md) - [Dog-Friendly Dining Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-restaurant-weekend-2025.md) - [Dog-Focused Food Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-cuisine-for-dogs.md)
