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.

Très bonne expérience ! Nous avons pris des pancake qui étaient délicieux. Malgré le monde le service est rapide & efficace. Le personnel est très à l'écoute & souriant. C'est un lieu très vivant donc si vous cherchez un endroit calme je ne le vous recommande pas.

Malgré l'attente pour entrer dans le restaurant, le service a été exceptionnel, de même que les plats proposés. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant qui est le meilleur que l'on ai goûté à Montréal !

This place was extremely hyped up by a friend & so maybe expectations were set too high but Dandy's was just okay. Nothing extraordinary but still good. We've tried for Dandy's a few times but never went in because of the line, but with the rainy weather, we got in pretty quick. Got there for 10:30, got seated around 11. Menu is pretty limited. Prices are a bit extreme ($6.99 for 3 slices of bacon is kind of insane). Would recommend the potatoes. We felt like if there's a super long line, the food should've been better than what it was.

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
