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.

Not only was this the best breakfast I've had on this trip, but it was the best meal overall. Delicious food, friendly & kind waiters, & the atmosphere was lively & fun but not overwhelming. We got the ricotta pancakes, fried chicken sandwich, & side of smashed potato fingerlings. Every single item was superb! I'm going to be dreaming about those pancakes for weeks. The chicken was soooo tender. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Highly highly recommend. My only regret is not finding this place sooner during our trip so we could come here more than once!

The food is delicious & fresh ingredients that you can taste immediately upon eating. It was busy as we went during brunch time. However there were no delays in service nor in delivering the delicious food & drinks. I was delightfully surprised at the ricotta pancakes, the chicken sandwich & my breakfast dish.
I agree with another review that the chicken was a surprisingly scrumptious & juicy. Not to mention the unique coffee. The atmosphere it's well lit, clean, spacious & welcoming design. My children & I enjoyed it.

Amazing place for brunch. There's plenty of seating but it gets busy very quickly. We had the mushroom toast, the chicken sandwich, the avocado toast, & the ricotta pancakes. Everything tasted excellent! Service is good too. Coffee was also very good & the pastry is delicious.

Dandy hands down has the best pancakes ever. While visiting Montreal, I came here every day just for the ricotta pancakes. Make sure to ask for extra syrup it's buttery & absolutely mouthwatering. The customer service is fast & efficient as well.

Those ricotta pancakes are on a different level. Something about the setting & aesthetics of the restaurant too was just comforting & homey.

Will 100% return when I'm back in Montreal!

Dandy in Old Port absolutely nailed it. Our party of four was seated & served shockingly fast, & the service from Uriel & Antoni was warm, attentive, & genuinely kind. Michael's menu is a joy to read & even better to eat-those pancakes with maple syrup & ricotta-lemon cream were the best of my life. We ordered one of every dessert for the table & didn't leave a crumb. Beautiful atmosphere & design, delicious food, flawless service. Can't wait to come back.

Dandy's is a bustling hotspot that draws crowds, especially on weekends when you might find yourself waiting in line for about 30 minutes. So, is the wait worth it? Personally, I'd say not quite. But if you happen to stroll by when there's no queue, it's definitely worth a try.

Our main reason for visiting was to indulge in their renowned ricotta pancakes. Some reviews compare them to the pancakes at OEB Breakfast Co., which you can find in Vancouver & Toronto. In my honest opinion, they don't really compare - OEB still takes the crown. Dandy's pancakes are dense & tend to stick to your sides longer, which might appeal to some. If lemon flavor is your thing, great. Otherwise, ask for lemon cream on the side. The salad we ordered was nice but didn't really stand out.
