About

Dandy operates as a sophisticated bistro that emphasizes the intersection of artisanal culinary techniques and market-driven ingredients. The interior design reflects an industrial aesthetic characterized by high ceilings and expansive windows that illuminate the open dining area. Menu offerings focus on elevated classic dishes, featuring thick-cut sourdough toasts topped with seasonal produce and house-made ricotta. The kitchen consistently utilizes fresh, locally sourced components to construct balanced plates that favor structural simplicity over complex plating. Patrons experience a lively atmosphere where the focus remains strictly on the quality of the prepared food and the functionality of the workspace. This establishment balances the casual nature of a market-inspired café with the technical precision of a focused bistro kitchen. Every element, from the beverage selection to the curated seasonal vegetables, demonstrates a commitment to ingredient-led preparation methods.

Dandy's is a bustling hotspot that draws crowds, especially on weekends when you might find yourself waiting in line for about 30 minutes. So, is the wait worth it? Personally, I'd say not quite. But if you happen to stroll by when there's no queue, it's definitely worth a try.

Our main reason for visiting was to indulge in their renowned ricotta pancakes. Some reviews compare them to the pancakes at OEB Breakfast Co., which you can find in Vancouver & Toronto. In my honest opinion, they don't really compare - OEB still takes the crown. Dandy's pancakes are dense & tend to stick to your sides longer, which might appeal to some. If lemon flavor is your thing, great. Otherwise, ask for lemon cream on the side. The salad we ordered was nice but didn't really stand out.

A little bit of a wait to get seated but very worth it. We had a very nice breakfast here, with absolutely excellent service.

We had a smoked salmon sandwich & an Endless Summer Breakfast. The server was very attentive & understanding with a good allergy we brought up which was great to see.

I ate the endless breakfast & while it was a bit different than what I'd normally eat (not a fan of tomatoes or cucumbers), it was delicious. I really enjoyed it & would 100% eat it again.

Great start to the day & also a great Tira Misu coffee to get going for a full day or activity too.

Great service with amazing endless summer breakfast. Would recommend the crispy bacon as an add on. The lemonade was a bit disappointing- very bland with no flavor.
