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.

Overpriced & small plates- I got pancakes & they were small & not fluffy, what's the point?. Also, long waiting line (can wait 1-2h). NOT WORTH IT. Montreal has too many brunch places to settle for this.

We came here for brunch as we had read about the pancakes. We came on a weekday, so just the standard toppings for the pancakes were available. While we were initially disappointed, when it came out there was nothing to be disappointed about! They were amazing. We would definitely recommend coming here if you're having a craving for some great pancakes. We also had the maple oat latte, which was delish too.

Always wanted to try this place for brunch for a couple years since it's "famous", but it's always huge line up outside on weekends. Finally went in recently, but was quite disappointed tbh. The menu is so small & everything is insanely overpriced. They are all very small portion, including the coffee (in a tiny glass cup) without free refill, unlike many other brunch places. Quality is just acceptable. With that price & the small portion, you'd hope the taste would be much higher than it is. Won't go back...

I had an initially skeptical but ultimately delightful experience at this restaurant. Despite the cold weather & the possibility of it being a tourist trap, I decided to wait in line based on positive recommendations. Arriving at 11:30 am on a Sunday, I waited for an hour for a table for two. Once seated, everything went smoothly-the server was attentive, & the food arrived promptly. I must say, it was absolutely worth both the wait & the hype. This brunch stands out as one of the best I've had in a while. Even as someone who isn't fond of salads, I found theirs to be exceptional. However, I do have one piece of feedback: the hostess could improve communication & acknowledgment of those waiting in line, especially those outside. It's frustrating to wait without any idea of the wait time or how many people are ahead in line. Overall, an outstanding experience that's worth recommending. Also, it would be great to see more gluten-free options on the menu.

Cute place in Old Port. It's wasn't too busy. We got a table the second we got in. I'm not gonna lie I came for the pancakes. I was told they were the boom. Com!!! We had the avocado toast & the pancakes for dessert. Good portions!! As for the pancakes, they were OK. I cant say they were the best I ever 6. The fluffiness was missing for me but overall. It's a good spot for brunch
