Standouts like ricotta pancakes and the fried chicken sandwich are repeatedly praised, often with generous portions, crispy fingerling potatoes, and rich maple or aioli accents. The menu is seen as inventive but compact, with Endless Summer breakfast, mushroom toast, avocado toast and salads earning praise while a few dishes are viewed as overpriced or not as exciting.

Coffee and pastries are frequently highlighted as high quality, and the overall vibe is lively yet welcoming. Overall, Dandy is regarded as a top brunch option in the area, delivering memorable dishes and solid service, with most diners willing to return despite the potential for wait times and cost.
Marvelous for breakfast & brunch, generous portions! Small toilet stalls but clean bathrooms, but generally above par. The breakfast granola was excellent.
This place is a fantastic spot for brunch. My wife & I visited Montreal to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, & this place caught our attention. It's modern, easy to find, & offers a delightful array of brunch options. The endless summer breakfast & ricotta pancakes were both exceptional.
I'm actually very confused why this place had a line out the door. The menu has 6 things & the only breakfast with eggs literally gives you one egg. The atmosphere was great & service was great but for tasty food & a satisfying meal this was not it. I'd go somewhere else if you're super hungry & want a great meal. Not worth the money the value doesn't make sense it's overpriced. Oh also they don't use gloves when making the food so that's gross
Fantastic brunch, very attentive service despite being a very busy spot.Thoroughly enjoyed the food & a very cool vibe. Summer breakfast with avocado & bacon was very much on point.

Had the summer breakfast & it was very very tasty. Smashed potatoes & granola bowl were extremely good. Only problem, had to wait in line for 1.5 hours for a Saturday brunch.
Sept 2024 -Didnt like it. ordered chicken sandwich, ricotta pancake & breakfast avocado toast. All were OK. Food is overrated. Ambiance is good though. Coffee was OK too.
A friend told me about this place & it did not disappoint! Super convenient because it was close to our hotel. There is seating indoors & outdoors, & when we came on a Thursday afternoon we did not have to wait long. Many people checked on us & we were very well taken care of. My mom & I shared the endless summer breakfast & she loved it so much that she's going to try & make it at home! Really tasty ingredients that were fresh & healthy. I also had an iced maple latte which was really good! If we have more time I will come back & try the ricotta pancakes because they looked amazing & it seemed like there was one on every table!
We had the everytime summer breakfast, the chicken sandwich with potatoe sides & Peach-Ginger-Icetea - everything was really delicious. The service was friendly & courteous, but it was really noisy.

Lovely breakfast, friendly service & very cool atmosphere. Highly recommend & would definitely go back to try the buttermilk chicken sandwich which I saw on every other table lol
I almost stayed an extra night in Montreal just to go back again for breakfast! Had the shrimp coquette with soft boiled egg (a fresh, citrusy feast for both eyes & palate) along with the crispy smashed fingerling potatoes (served with a garlic mayo, drool). Seriously awesome.
if you are looking for breakfast in montreal - this is the place!! after being let down by Brasserie 701's menu, we kept walking & found this beautiful spot for breakfast. fate would have it, we showed up 5 minutes to open & were seated immediately. food was AMAZING. service was kind & fast, & the portions were amazing, we had leftovers for a snack home. WILL go again, hopefully soon!
Of the many dishes we ordered, all of them tasted amazing. Almost no improvement is needed to make these dishes perfect. Probably the best meal I have eaten this year! If you're going to come here, I strongly suggest if you're coming for breakfast, to order the strawberry ricotta pancakes & the crispy smashed fingerling potatoes. The service was pretty good, bro not the best it could be. At first, our waiter seemed like he was very patient & wasn't afraid of talking, but almost when we were halfway done with our meal, our waiter seemed as if he didn't want to really talk & help us, however this didn't at all make an impact on the rating & my feelings of this restaurant. Don't forget to order the crispy smashed fingerling potatoes!
I've been to this restaurant twice & I want so desperately to like it, but it always just misses the mark for me. The first time, I tried their Ricotta Pancakes, not realizing the seasonal fruits are an extra charge! Overall, the pancakes were okay, but not as amazing as I expected them to be. Bacon is another extra charge & tasteless, which made for $7 down the drain. I also arrived as soon as they opened at 10am on the weekend & there was a bit of a wait, with a line out the door. The second time I went, I tried the Endless Summer Breakfast, which I enjoyed more than the pancakes. The seasoning on the avocado was absolutely delicious. The toast was a bit too hard for my liking, but the rest of the plate was lovely. This time, on a weekday around noon, there was no line. Both times, the wait to receive food after ordering was about 15 minutes long, enough time to chat but a bit too long for my tastes. Dandy is pricey, no doubt about it. If you want food & a drink each, you're looking about an $80 bill for two people.
Food was yummy & came quickly. I like that they don't have too many options on the menu. It's Easier to pick something out. It was a bit pricey in my opinion but still worth trying out. My husband & I paid 85$ for the both of us. It is very loud in there, so don't go if you want a peaceful quiet breakfast
Spectacular breakfast. We devoured it so quickly we didn't get very good pictures... lol. The depth of flavor on the pancakes, with the browned butter & maple syrup, were incredible. Pancakes were moist & fluffy. The strawberries were delicious--definitely worth it. The mushroom toast was unbelievable. I've never seen a restaurant go so hard on a mushroom dish. This toast was sauced generously, & piled high with fungi. The egg on top was perfect, too. Wow.
