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.

Arrive early, we showed up just before they opened at 10am but there was already a line so we had to wait 1hr for second city. I initially regretted the wait but not after the meal! Chicken sandwich was fantastic & my daughter's loved the pancakes

The food was not very good. There was too much seasoning on the chicken sandwich we couldn't eat it. The atmosphere was nice & clean inside. The wait staff was busy but cordial. The The food was just below mediocre.

I got the chicken sandwhich with egg on top & a side of bacon & smashed fingerling potatoes. The bacon was OK, & maybe not worth the extra cost. The potatoes were great. The chicken sandwhich was fantastic. Sunday morning branch, got there around 1030, waited about 45 minutes in line. Was it worth it? Yeah, I think so.

Cute restaurant & generally decent food. However, I felt the wait was too long (both to get a seat & for the food to arrive). On top of it, I was served with the wrong order :( While the chicken sandwich was nice, I found it too greasy for my taste.

Visited later afternoon on a Monday, so it wasn't too busy. I sat on the patio, with its cute yellow & white striped umbrellas. All the servers were super friendly. Iced matcha was one of best I had, just the right amount of sweetness. I had the chicken sandwich, which is so giant with its two chicken breasts, but still felt rather light. I feel like this is the type of place to share a few menu items.

Amazing food. The mushroom toast is to die for. The lemonade was also amazing. Fried chicken burger lives up to its hype.

With the line we had to wait in before getting in, the hype around Dandy made me excited for what was to come. I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & accompanied that with a Mimosa. I really enjoyed the Buttermilk Burger, the bun was soft & the chicken was full of juice & flavour, my only gripe was that the bacon that i had as a side was dry & brittle. The Mimosas were pretty good as well. The day I was there the place was very packed but the service was still good, but not great, because we had a bit of a wait time. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, during my time there, the place felt crowded & small.But this place would be a nice spot to go on a Sunday Morning for brunch.

Great spot in Old Montreal! Glad our hotel recommended it. We had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich & the sourdough half avocado dishes. Both were excellent! You can't go wrong.
