Reviewers describe Dandy as a stylish, bustling brunch spot with a bright, cozy, Instagram-worthy space and consistently friendly, attentive service. 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. Lines and crowds are a common weekend theme, and some guests note loud surroundings and limited seating or no reservations. 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.
What a great brunch. Great flavours. Great textures, crunchy, smooth or crispy. Great beverages too. Even got a second matcha laite with lavender. Definitely our top pick of the Easter weekend in old Montreal.
Great place for brunch food in the old port. Small menu, but everything on it is delicious. Apparently there are long lines on the weekends, I came on a Monday afternoon & there was no wait. Highly recommend & will definitely be back

Dandy is the quintessential montreal brunch place. We had the butter milk fried chix sandwich & the endless summer breakfast. the food was excellent & portions are generous. the service was fast & really nice. Love the vibe 💯
Great Brunch spot overall! Service was friendly, waiting time on a Sunday at noon was about 30 minutes, the coffee was very good (even had a 2nd one) & both plates were absolutely delicious! The size of the plates were pretty big too!
Had the Endless Summer Breakfast with extra bacon & 2 Cappuccinos with oat milk, total of 50$ txs in!
Definitely recommend!
Marvelous for breakfast & brunch, generous portions! Small toilet stalls but clean bathrooms, but generally above par. The breakfast granola was excellent.

Top notch brunch spot. This is the type of place where you should share dishes so you can try more items & mix sweet & savoury. All 3 items we ordered were homeruns: ricotta pancakes with the special garnish, mushroom toast, fingerling potatoes. The mushroom toast is notable. The mushrooms are juicy & flavourful, stacked in a giant pile.
Awesome brunch spot in Montreal... would definitely come here again, whenever back in town. Food: Mushroom Toast - 5/5 I ordered the mushroom toast, & everyone at my table looked at it with admiration as it arrived at the table. Did I share a few bites? Yes... but did I want to? No. Just kidding, but it really is that good if you like mushrooms.. don't think twice! Pancakes - 4/5 - I really liked these, but I did think these were a little overhyped, wouldn't necessarily get it again with the mushroom toast as a different option on the menu.. the party I was with did all really like them though. Service - 5/5 - The waiter we had, I believe an Indian man, was so patient & helpful. Our table was quite rowdy in the restaurant, ordering shots during brunch & being loud, but he was so patient, kind, & helpful... hats off to this guy for dealing with all of us, haha. Ambiance - 4/5 - Nice atmosphere, & we got a round table, which was nice because we were all able to face each other & chat... it actually made a big difference, because I was meeting some people for the first time here, & I noticed that key difference with ease of socializing. Overall, great place!

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.
Très bon brunch, la serveuse à l'écoute. Des produits de bonnes qualités. Les pancakes & les tartines délicieux, nous nous sommes régalés. Par contre, pour nous qui aimons les pâtes, c'était loin d'être le meilleur plat.... choisissez plutôt le reste.
Amazing place for a brunch but you'll definitely have to wait as there is typically a line, which speaks for the quality & service they provide. Both the food & service we received was amazing. We went here on a recommendation from friends while visiting & we see why everyone raves about it! One of the best brunch spots in Montreal.
