Reviewers describe Dandy as a stylish, bustling brunch spot with a bright, cozy, Instagram-worthy space and consistently friendly, attentive service. Standouts like ricotta pancakes and the fried chicken sandwich are repeatedly praised, often with generous portions, crispy fingerling potatoes, and rich maple or aioli accents. The menu is seen as inventive but compact, with Endless Summer breakfast, mushroom toast, avocado toast and salads earning praise while a few dishes are viewed as overpriced or not as exciting. Lines and crowds are a common weekend theme, and some guests note loud surroundings and limited seating or no reservations. Coffee and pastries are frequently highlighted as high quality, and the overall vibe is lively yet welcoming. Overall, Dandy is regarded as a top brunch option in the area, delivering memorable dishes and solid service, with most diners willing to return despite the potential for wait times and cost.
Food was okay. I got charged 7 dollars for 4 small slices of bacon as a side despite saying no to bacon when ordering. 7 dollars for a hot latte which I thought was cold given the price & when I asked the waiter for no ice for my drink, they did not correct me & tell me it was hot. But the vibe & decor there are very pleasant. The meal was not worth the price tho.
Cute cozy place at the old port. The only dish to recommend is the chicken sandwich. My sourdough was hard like stone. Concise menu but portions are bit small. Paying extras for the atmosphere.
I'm actually very confused why this place had a line out the door. The menu has 6 things & the only breakfast with eggs literally gives you one egg. The atmosphere was great & service was great but for tasty food & a satisfying meal this was not it. I'd go somewhere else if you're super hungry & want a great meal. Not worth the money the value doesn't make sense it's overpriced. Oh also they don't use gloves when making the food so that's gross
I can't say enough about this place! We waited about 20 minutes, which I felt was both a good sign of what they provided, as well as a pretty quick moving operation. All of the staff were super friendly & had a constant smile on their face. The food came out super fast & was so fresh. Everything was SOOO delicious. The serving size is definitely meant for a very strong appetite, to split with someone, or some tasty takeaway. The cocktails were very well crafted & matched the food & overall all-star service. I can't recommend this place enough!!

Très bon brunch, la serveuse à l'écoute. Des produits de bonnes qualités. Les pancakes & les tartines délicieux, nous nous sommes régalés. Par contre, pour nous qui aimons les pâtes, c'était loin d'être le meilleur plat.... choisissez plutôt le reste.
The service was very friendly & the food was VERY tasty. The portion sizes were also generous! The coffee needs improvement though, specifically the steaming of the milk for the milk drinks (flat white, latte, etc)
This place is popular & for good reason. Our Server was genuinely personable. The service was fast & the food was phenomenal. 5 stars, would highly recommend!
Amazing place for a brunch but you'll definitely have to wait as there is typically a line, which speaks for the quality & service they provide. Both the food & service we received was amazing. We went here on a recommendation from friends while visiting & we see why everyone raves about it! One of the best brunch spots in Montreal.
