The Monty Pantry & Cafe

The Monty Pantry & Cafe on Grand Boulevard is a friendly neighbourhood cafe in Montmorency that welcomes dogs to its outdoor tables. It is a straightforward breakfast-and-lunch spot with good coffee, and the outdoor setup is set up with dogs in mind, including some undercover seating for cooler days.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, including undercover spots, but not inside, where space is limited. Staff typically put out water bowls, and blankets are on hand to keep dogs warm in winter.

Good to know. The kitchen is well regarded for brunch plates, sandwiches and salads, and the cafe has a following for its loaded cookies in flavours like Biscoff, pistachio and Oreo. Note it is closed Sundays.

Getting there. It sits at 73 Grand Blvd in the local shopping strip, a short walk from Montmorency Railway Station on the Hurstbridge line. Street parking runs along Grand Boulevard.

Nearby with the dogs. The Grand Boulevard strip is walkable for a stroll before or after coffee, with local parkland close by for a longer leg-stretch on leash.

When to go. Weekday mornings are calmest. Check current hours before a Saturday visit, and remember it does not open on Sundays.
