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.

Was staying in Old Montreal for a few days to see Ariana Grande & decided on trying Dandy's since we were down the street - best decision we made.
The reviews aren't lying, if you wanna get in ASAP - go 30 mins before they open as people start lining up before theyre open.
The staff were wonderful & the place is a good size, with tables perfect for parties of 4 & under.
The Ricotta Pancakes & Smoked Salmon Toast were both great! I definitely prefer the toast as the brown butter maple sauce used on the pancakes was a bit too sweet for my liking, but if you've got a sweet tooth you should try the pancakes out!
I tried the maple latte & it was also quite sweet - more sugar than the taste of espresso, so good for you sweet tooths out there!
The other drink ordered was the peach & ginger iced tea, which was a bit more ginger than peach :-)

Absolute 5-star brunch experience at Dandy! Everything we ordered was top-tier. I highly recommend the Ricotta Pancakes with brown butter maple sauce, the Endless Summer Breakfast, & the Buttermilk Fried Chix Sandwich on brioche. Exceptional food, amazing flavors, & a great atmosphere-definitely a must-visit spot in Montreal!

Worth the line, worth the hype. Good on every level. Don't leave without trying the pancakes. The size of the chicken sandwich? Stacking 2 fried thighs & an egg is diabolical. The potatoes would have disappeared if we weren't so full. The buttery sausage roll with that honey mustard was a perfect bite. The service was so attentive my water cup was full for every sip, even though I was drinking a great IPA. My family loved their drinks. Now it's on the must-go list for every future Montreal visit.

We loved Dandy so much the first time we came during our long weekend in Montreal that we came back the very next day! We made sure to get there right when it opened so we didn't have to wait in line. The first day we both got the endless summer breakfast, which was fantastic & had great flavors & textures. I saw people get the pancakes & knew I wanted to get those the next day, so we can back & ordered the pancakes on top of the fried chicken sandwich & the grilled halloumi sandwich (it was a lot of food, but we ate it all & it was SO WORTH IT!). What really makes each dish stand out is the amazing bread (the sourdough & focaccia are to die for) & high quality/fresh ingredients. The service is a bit slow at times, & there is a longer wait for food than at some places, but the food is worth it. We would recommend this place to anyone for brunch!

Their pancakes are the best in downtown. I ordered a summer breakfast which was nice but after tasting my husband's pancake, I had to order another pancake serving for myself. The passionfruit lemonade & the coffee was too good as well. Highly recommended.

They were very busy but the line moved quickly ans we were seated & service was fast & friendly. The ricotta pancakes were so fantastic because of thr brown butter sauce & fresh strawberries.
