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.
On comprend la file d'attente! Restaurant de brunch populaire, c'est branché, c'est beau, il y a un menu simple & efficace. Le sandwich au poulet frit est hyper bien balancé, l'assiette déjeuner avec une salade & une toast montée d'un demi-avocat & d'un oeuf est plus équilibrée pour un repas santé. Je recommande de partager même si ce n'est pas le concept juste pour goûter à plus de choses (sandwich poulet frit miam mais j'aime bien plus) Ce n'est pas donné, mais acceptable pour la qualité & l'emplacement Vieux-Port, pour les plats principaux du moins (~25$) puisque le reste semble typiquement inflation en restauration (6.99$ pour extra 3 tranches bacon(!), ou comme partout similaire, des boissons à 7$ ou cocktail 15$).

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.
Great brunch spot! Absolutely loved the buttermilk fried chicken & the pancakes are also delicious. Be prepared to wait in line for a bit though on busy days!
Food is good but def not worth the wait. Just your normal overpriced brunch items (we are talking an avocado toast for $22 CAD). Nothing too special. What made us uncomfortable to give it a better rating is the service. Not sure if it's because we didn't speak French or looked like tourists. We found our server to be not attentive. Our server took our drink order & then was no where to be found. We had to try very hard to fly him down. The table next to us were seated after us but got their order & food way faster (We didn't get our food until they were almost done).
Absolutely amazing brunch experience! I'll be thinking about the ricotta pancakes til we come back. Service was great! Drinks were great! Our patio spot was great! 💕
I recently had brunch here & overall, it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance was cozy & the staff were very friendly. The pancakes are the best & the maple latte is delicious too, but I'm giving it 4 stars because I wish they had a more extensive menu, especially with a mix of sweet & savory options
Amazing brunch, perhaps one of the top in Montreal. However you WILL have to wait close to a decade to get a table at their busy times. Food selection is vast & all seems great. Drinks weren't the best, so could skip. However, overall, it is for sure a must-visit if in the proximity.
We celebrated Mother's Day with a delightful brunch at this restaurant, choosing from a spread that included Mushroom Toast, Ricotta Pancakes, & the Endless Summer Breakfast, with extra Crispy Bacon ordered at an additional cost. Each dish was beautifully prepared, & the uniquely unsalty, beef jerky-like bacon, though pricier, was definitely worth trying. The quality of the food & the warm, friendly service from the staff made our special day even more enjoyable.
