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.

The ambience is absolutely stunning & the service is warm, attentive, & truly top-notch..exactly what you'd hope for. Their coffee is a highlight; I'd come back just for that alone. The food is decent & enjoyable, though it hasn't quite reached the same heights as the overall experience. A great spot overall

Waited 35min for pancakes when the table that arrived after us got their food, finished & left by the time we received our food. The waiter definitely made a mistake but didn't even apologize, instead the front door guy did (kudos to him).
When the food finally got to our table, we realized that the entire restaurant had their food except us & another couple which arrived before us & also didn't get their food (from the same waiter). We returned the pancakes to the kitchen because waiting 35min for pancakes made no sense & we had to another appointment.

We brunched on April 3rd at 10am & the waiter was wearing a Kaws shirt. He saw that we were getting impatient & didn't rush the kitchen nor apologize. I loved Dandy but this was a disappointment.

Was so excited to try this place but the service was really awful. Food was alright, nothing I would go back for. The espresso tasted very burnt & sour :(

This is our second time in Dandy. It's an amazing all-day brunch option in an excellent brunch city.

Super cute spot in old Montreal. Great vibes - short menu but what they do, they do so well! Came in for lunch & got seated right away - but it was a Monday… so no guarantees on a weekend. Super friendly staff, excellent playlist! We had the pasta & chicken salad. Fresh, delicious ingredients & arrived in the right amount of time. Also had the lemonade - yum!
