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 a popular brunch destination in Old Montreal known for its vibrant atmosphere and signature ricotta pancakes, which many patrons consider a highlight of their visit. While the restaurant frequently draws long lines, guests often find the wait worthwhile due to the fresh, flavorful menu items like the fried chicken sandwich and the summer breakfast. The service is widely described as friendly, efficient, and attentive, though some diners note that the restaurant can be loud and the seating somewhat cramped.

Unfortunately we were disappointed by our breakfast at Dandy. The server was great but the food was just okay. I ordered the breakfast sandwich & found the verrrry thick cut bacon not cooked enough; it was just fatty, no crisp anywhere. The bread was large & almost overpowering. My husband saw a pic of the ricotta pancakes on instagram so had to get them. Again, disappointed. They tasted like Aunt Jemina powder pancakes!

Fried chicken sandwich, latkes, coffee, & mimosa were delicious. Service was friendly & attentive. Beautiful dining space. It's a touch pricey for portion sizes but very high quality. Def worth trying. I'd like to try the ricotta pancakes next time.

Fantastic environment & the service was pleasant & quick. The food was excellent. I had the ricotta pancakes & a side order of the best bacon I have ever had! My partner had the buttermilk chicken sandwich that came with homemade potato chips. For better or worse, both plates were empty by the time we were done. A long walk was much needed post brunch! Can't wait to return!

I really liked the vibe of this place & it had to be the best chicken sandwich I've eaten.

The batter of the fried chicken sandwich was so thick that when you removed it all that remained was a miserably small piece of chicken.

Generally a good experience, service was friendly & efficient, restaurant was a little noisy so if that's not your thing you won't like it. Had the buttermilk chicken sandwich ($22), was good but not exceptional, could've done with a salad on the side or something. The Caesar was delicious, etc. Would maybe go back, but for the price, won't rush.

What a great lunch. I'd spotted Dandy on Instagram & was eager to try it out on a recent visit to Montréal. The food, service, & space did not disappoint! Excellent attention to detail from everyone on the staff (front of house to wait staff). They're quick with a smile & aim to make sure everything is perfect for your meal. The kitchen staff gave a great effort too (soup of the day, home made chips, & the fried chicken sandwich). All were delightful but one thing I'm still thinking about is the labne with the chips! Completely surprised by the complexity of the flavor with added citrus. Well done!

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.

Une ambiance décontractée, un serveur passionné, un lunch délicieux.
Nous avons partagé une entrée de chips maison (un must!). Leur sandwich poulet frit au babeurre est tout simplement divin.
