Overall, Dandy is portrayed as a popular all-day brunch spot in Old Montreal, known for its ricotta pancakes and a very crispy fried chicken sandwich, generous portions, and a friendly, efficient staff; the vibe is lively and stylish, with good coffee and drinks, but weekend lines and occasional inconsistencies in service and pricing can affect some visits; nonetheless, many reviewers say they would return to try more items and praise the atmosphere and the standout dishes that keep drawing them back.
The food was good, but nothing out of this world. There was a long line, so if you really want to check out this place, I would recommend going during less busy hours.
Great spot in Old Montreal! Glad our hotel recommended it. We had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich & the sourdough half avocado dishes. Both were excellent! You can't go wrong.

I went for brunch & the brunch menu was simple, but very original, sophisticated & delicious with good portions. There were three of us & I ordered the yummy salad which is fantastic & definitely filling.. my friends' orders included the pancakes & the fried chicken. Wow, both amazing as I got to sample theirs as well. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere is lively ands bustling but we could hear each other talk. It said it would be 20 to 40 estimated price however I found it to be more in the $40-$60 range. Each person if you include drinks & tips. So more steep price than the usual brunch, nevertheless, I highly recommend this place for brunch. It's too bad they don't take reservations because I would go there a lot more. PS, the mimosas & margaritas are wonderful. We didn't have any desserts, but I can tell you looking at it, it looked good.
Delicious food, staff are all friendly & helpful. We had to wait in line but that's only because it's a popular breakfast spot! You could order coffee in line while you wait. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good breakfast spot while in MTL.
Very tasty, I really liked my mushroom sandwich. Lovely spot but I highly recommend to early as I arrived at around 10:30, & the line started the moment I entered. I would recommend it to friend & happy to go again.
Extrmely high recommended- one of the few places in Montreal that triggered my attention- waiting time is moderate , not crazy & the food is phenomenal. I rarely give 5 stars but this place really deserves it. The only drawback is they have an open kitchen & you might smell food if you stay too long

Upon arriving at the restaurant, my companion & I were warmly greeted by the hostess & promptly seated, although we did have to wait about 40 minutes for a table during the busy lunch rush. However, the friendly service & impeccable attention from the waitstaff made up for the wait. We opted for the avocado breakfast toast & the crispy chicken sandwich. While the avocado toast was delicious, served in a deep plate made it difficult to cut the bread comfortably. I'd suggest they serve it on a flat plate for easier enjoyment. As for the crispy chicken sandwich, it was an absolute delight. The chicken was flavorful, & the crust was soft & easy to eat. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, making it a perfect spot for brunch. Overall, despite a minor inconvenience with the avocado toast plate, I would highly recommend this place for a delightful brunch experience.
We came here for brunch as we had read about the pancakes. We came on a weekday, so just the standard toppings for the pancakes were available. While we were initially disappointed, when it came out there was nothing to be disappointed about! They were amazing. We would definitely recommend coming here if you're having a craving for some great pancakes. We also had the maple oat latte, which was delish too.

Ce restaurant a dépassé mes attentes & est délicieux. Je recommande le burger au poulet frit & la tartine aux champignons. Les tranches de pomme verte dans le burger & la menthe dans la tartine aux champignons sont les touches finales parfaites.
J'ai récemment dîné au restaurant Dandy sur les conseils de la concierge de l’hôtel Westin & j'ai été agréablement surpris. Le service était exceptionnel, avec une serveuse adorable qui était aux petits soins. Le menu était à la fois gourmand & équilibré ce qui est plutôt rare à Montréal. C'est rafraîchissant de trouver un endroit où l'on peut savourer des plats qui ne contiennent pas que uniquement les habituels pomme de terre-viande/poissons/crustacés. Dandy propose par exemple, des chips de topinambour, avocats, tomates ancestrales, poivrons grillés, carottes rôties, suprêmes d’orange, échalotes marinées, pain au levain etc. Une expérience culinaire que je recommande. Je n’ai pas testé leur brunch mais il paraît qu’ils sont réputés.
The food was beautifully presented & delicious. The service was very good. My only complaint was that it was very loud (though it was Saturday brunch)...Would definitely recommend.
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.
