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.

Visitors consistently highlight the fresh, high-quality ingredients and the beautiful, modern atmosphere that makes the restaurant a must-visit destination in Old Montreal.

Fantastic find! Was looking for a brunch place that was open during the weekdays to meet a friend. The menu is limited but everything on the menu looks great! My friend tried the chicken salad & loved it. I tried the buttermilk chicken sandwich & was surprised to see the size of the sandwich!! The chicken was super crispy & just delicious. Would definitely go back again to try other dishes for my next brunch.
Also the service is very friendly & awesome!

Waited 35min for pancakes when the table that arrived after us got their food, finished & left by the time we received our food. The waiter definitely made a mistake but didn't even apologize, instead the front door guy did (kudos to him).
When the food finally got to our table, we realized that the entire restaurant had their food except us & another couple which arrived before us & also didn't get their food (from the same waiter). We returned the pancakes to the kitchen because waiting 35min for pancakes made no sense & we had to another appointment.

We brunched on April 3rd at 10am & the waiter was wearing a Kaws shirt. He saw that we were getting impatient & didn't rush the kitchen nor apologize. I loved Dandy but this was a disappointment.

This is our second time in Dandy. It's an amazing all-day brunch option in an excellent brunch city.

Went for brunch on the weekend. Foods options were limited. Cost & quality of food/execution did not match. Overpriced for the taste & ingredients. Flat white was 6/10.

The food is delicious & fresh ingredients that you can taste immediately upon eating. It was busy as we went during brunch time. However there were no delays in service nor in delivering the delicious food & drinks. I was delightfully surprised at the ricotta pancakes, the chicken sandwich & my breakfast dish.
I agree with another review that the chicken was a surprisingly scrumptious & juicy. Not to mention the unique coffee. The atmosphere it's well lit, clean, spacious & welcoming design. My children & I enjoyed it.

Amazing place for brunch. There's plenty of seating but it gets busy very quickly. We had the mushroom toast, the chicken sandwich, the avocado toast, & the ricotta pancakes. Everything tasted excellent! Service is good too. Coffee was also very good & the pastry is delicious.
