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.

We finally got around to trying @dandy.mtl to see if it lived up to the hype. They don't take reservations but we only waited about 15 minutes at 10:45am, not too bad. We were served extremely quickly & ordered delicious, satisfying, Ricotta Pancakes covered in luscious syrup & the buttermik fried chicken sandwich featuring some of the best crispy, delectable fried chicken we've ever had. We washed this down with a delightful maple latté. We finished & were driving home by 11:30am. We don't eat slow but, while everything was excellent (service included), we did feel the overall atmosphere is fast paced & a little rushed. Personally, the opposite of the feeling we want on a Sunday morning but food-wise, yes, it does live up to the hype.

A bit overrated, long lineup out the door & no reservation system. Food & drinks was fair but nothing spectacular. Tried the fried chicken sandwich as that seemed to be one of the most popular dishes, but found it quite dry & unflavoured compared to other places that offers this dish in Toronto.

I think I just ate the best fried chicken sandwich of my life here! Tender thigh meat, ubercrunchy batter, sweet-ish slaw underneath, airy brioche bun: perfection!! The blistered fingerling potatoes were also delicious.

Pretty basic toast & fried egg breakfast. Not really worth the wait or price for what we had.

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.

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.

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.

The batter of the fried chicken sandwich was so thick that when you removed it all that remained was a miserably small piece of chicken.
