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.

All of the food was amazing. The server was friendly & attentive. Some of the best coffee around. Definitely recommend

Always wanted to try this place for brunch for a couple years since it's "famous", but it's always huge line up outside on weekends. Finally went in recently, but was quite disappointed tbh. The menu is so small & everything is insanely overpriced. They are all very small portion, including the coffee (in a tiny glass cup) without free refill, unlike many other brunch places. Quality is just acceptable. With that price & the small portion, you'd hope the taste would be much higher than it is. Won't go back...

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.

What an experience for the palate! We were 5 people & the ooh's & aah's were never-ending at every bite. We could not help sharing! We have to go back to try other items on the menu!! &, if you are a coffee lover, you will love their coffees!

Loved everything about Dandy! The food, decor, staff, all exceeded my expectations. I love how the dishes have both fresh/healthy & decadent components. Also the crowd is always very trendy too. I make sure to stop in every time I visit Montreal. I've had the chance to try a lot of dishes & my faves are the fried chicken sandwich, pancakes, latkes, fresh pasta, & of course the sweets at the coffee counter (the coffee is SO good too). Highly recommend!!! Also follow their instagram that shows new dishes & specials.
