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.
Amazing brunch, perhaps one of the top in Montreal. However you WILL have to wait close to a decade to get a table at their busy times. Food selection is vast & all seems great. Drinks weren't the best, so could skip. However, overall, it is for sure a must-visit if in the proximity.
The food was not very good. There was too much seasoning on the chicken sandwich we couldn't eat it. The atmosphere was nice & clean inside. The wait staff was busy but cordial. The The food was just below mediocre.
I got the chicken sandwhich with egg on top & a side of bacon & smashed fingerling potatoes. The bacon was OK, & maybe not worth the extra cost. The potatoes were great. The chicken sandwhich was fantastic. Sunday morning branch, got there around 1030, waited about 45 minutes in line. Was it worth it? Yeah, I think so.
Cute restaurant & generally decent food. However, I felt the wait was too long (both to get a seat & for the food to arrive). On top of it, I was served with the wrong order :( While the chicken sandwich was nice, I found it too greasy for my taste.

Spectacular breakfast. We devoured it so quickly we didn't get very good pictures... lol. The depth of flavor on the pancakes, with the browned butter & maple syrup, were incredible. Pancakes were moist & fluffy. The strawberries were delicious--definitely worth it. The mushroom toast was unbelievable. I've never seen a restaurant go so hard on a mushroom dish. This toast was sauced generously, & piled high with fungi. The egg on top was perfect, too. Wow.
Breakfast @ Dandy !! I loved the vibes. Makes you feel you're in Italy somehow ! There was a 10 min wait, but that did not bother me. The staff were very nice & knowledgeable with the menu. I had the Ricotta Pancakes with the lemon butter. They come in a stack of 3 in a pool of maple syrup. It did not have the "wow" effect for me. I guess I am not a big fan of the zesty flavor or the added Ricotta. It took away from the original taste & flakiness of the pancake. They were good but different. Good choice for breakfast or lunch.
Visited later afternoon on a Monday, so it wasn't too busy. I sat on the patio, with its cute yellow & white striped umbrellas. All the servers were super friendly. Iced matcha was one of best I had, just the right amount of sweetness. I had the chicken sandwich, which is so giant with its two chicken breasts, but still felt rather light. I feel like this is the type of place to share a few menu items.

Très bonne expérience ! Nous avons pris des pancake qui étaient délicieux. Malgré le monde le service est rapide & efficace. Le personnel est très à l'écoute & souriant. C'est un lieu très vivant donc si vous cherchez un endroit calme je ne le vous recommande pas.
We ordered ENDLESS SUMMER BREAKFAST & PANCAKES. In my opinion both were pricy based on portion. Even coffee we ordered was pricy too! I ordered americano which was served in almost espresso size! The endless summer breakfast was served with only one egg (& one dough) for $22.99!! Also, you should pay extra for a pinch of pistachio & extra sweet syrup for your pancake for $7! (No fruits)
