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.

It's worth every penny. I promise if you go there to start your day you will have an excellent day. The chicken sandwich with egg was incredibly well seasoned & juicy, & the avocado sourdough toast with egg & tzatziki salad had some incredible flavors that I didn't seem possible for such a seemingly basic dish. Really happy I went here, I would eat here every day if I could.

We happened to come across this restaurant while visiting Montreal & were rewarded for it. I had the chicken sandwich & my friend had the ricotta pancakes, both were WONDERFUL! The staff was great & attentive. We took the desserts to go & were again rewarded with goodness…definitely worth it.

We thought it was chicken & waffles (lost in translation) but it ended up being better.
The portions were sized to share or bring a healthy appetite.

Most friendly staff with impeccable service. An absolute must in Old Montreal without hesitation. They make a mean, juicy, mouth watering fried chicken sandwich served on the fluffiest brioche bread. The ricotta pancakes, bathing in liquid gold, will leave you speechless.

Great chicken sandwich - among the best I've had (& I've had some). The pancakes are sublime. The stack of three fluffy ones eats like a rich & delicious cake. Really quite incredible.

Overall pleasant brunch experience. Friendly service. My partner ate well. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich & the bun & slaw were tasty, but my piece of chicken was quite burnt & dry.

The pancakes in browned butter were phenomenal! I had some of the chicken sandwich as well, but I found the bread was overpowering & didn't let the taste of the chicken come through. The coffee was delicious. Our waiter was delightful & attentive. Will definitely go back.

Fried chicken sandwich, latkes, coffee, & mimosa were delicious. Service was friendly & attentive. Beautiful dining space. It's a touch pricey for portion sizes but very high quality. Def worth trying. I'd like to try the ricotta pancakes next time.

Fantastic environment & the service was pleasant & quick. The food was excellent. I had the ricotta pancakes & a side order of the best bacon I have ever had! My partner had the buttermilk chicken sandwich that came with homemade potato chips. For better or worse, both plates were empty by the time we were done. A long walk was much needed post brunch! Can't wait to return!
