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.

Went here as our first official restaurant meal as husband & wife! & what a great decision. My pancakes were perfectly moist & buttered (look at the layers!!!) & they accommodated my request to add on their earl grey mascarpone (a must). My partners salad was delicious & filled with texture & flavours. My only nitpicky thing is that the restaurant is quite small & all the tables were quite snug together so it felt like I was dining with six instead of just us two haha

Cute place in Old Port. It's wasn't too busy. We got a table the second we got in. I'm not gonna lie I came for the pancakes. I was told they were the boom. Com!!! We had the avocado toast & the pancakes for dessert. Good portions!! As for the pancakes, they were OK. I cant say they were the best I ever 6. The fluffiness was missing for me but overall. It's a good spot for brunch

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.

Worth the wait, but in fairness we didn’t wait as the outdoor seating was

Recommend the pancakes with bacon 🥓 + a brown butter tart (wow!) for early breakfast.

Clearly a crowd pleaser with both local & tourist following, a place to be seen.

Service was great, food was even better 🍁
