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.

Review Summary

Dandy is widely celebrated for its exceptional brunch offerings, particularly the ricotta pancakes, which many guests describe as the best they have ever tasted, and the crispy fried chicken sandwich, which frequently earns high praise for its quality and flavor. Visitors consistently highlight the fresh, high-quality ingredients and the beautiful, modern atmosphere that makes the restaurant a must-visit destination in Old Montreal. While the popularity of the spot often results in lines, especially on weekends, many guests feel the delicious meals, vibrant energy, and attentive, welcoming service provided by the professional staff make the experience entirely worth the wait.

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.

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 🍁

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.
