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.
A lovely spot with a great atmosphere & consistently good food. The ricotta pancakes are truly outstanding :light, fluffy, & perfectly balanced, easily one of the best I've had.

Excellent overall. Simple food. Excellent taste. Excellent seasoning. Simply delicious. Be prepared to wait on the weekends - the locals love this place too. So it's very busy.
OMG! Quelle belle découverte! Jamais je n'aurais cru qu'un Burger de poulet frit & des crèpes pourraient être aussi bonnes. L'ambiance est décontractée & le service est impeccable. J'y suis allée un lundi midi & j'ai réussi à avoir une table en moins de 5min d'attente.
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.

I loved their roasted potato , coffee & the interior but the famous pancakes & I (went twice ) were still a Dough & liquidy from the inside both visits !! No strawberries available with it but would go again for the roasted potato
The brunch here is amazing although on the pricier side but worth it ! You NEED to get the pancakes !!! Try to reserve in advance so you avoid the insane line.

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.
Amazing food! Everything is not only delicious but memorable! Good service, good food. 100% recommended. No reservations taken, so I'll suggest to arrive early. It's worthy.
waited for nearly an hour to get our food, 20 minutes for our drinks, & maybe 15 mins for our food. im giving this restaurant 4 stars because of the loud atmosphere, & also the food was delicious. 4 stars is literally me being generous. it would be 5 stars if there was faster service. food was great though, also adding to those 4 stars

The food at Dandy's was very good & flavourful! definitely worth trying! The staff were friendly & attentive. Just a note for parents: they don't have high chairs, so it's something to keep in mind if you're dining with a little one. Overall, a great spot for a tasty meal.
