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.
The Sourdough Bread is really delicious, & the way the avocado was seasoned & salted tasted perfect. Also includes vegetables in the menu, & perfectly balances against the avocado. The Chicken Burger had two big chicken thighs on top of nice soft ciabatta bread. The most delicious chicken burger I ever ate. Also, the milk foam of the Maple Latte was so soft:)
It's worth every penny. I promise if you go there to start your day you will have an excellent day. The chicken sandwich with egg was incredibly well seasoned & juicy, & the avocado sourdough toast with egg & tzatziki salad had some incredible flavors that I didn't seem possible for such a seemingly basic dish. Really happy I went here, I would eat here every day if I could.

We happened to come across this restaurant while visiting Montreal & were rewarded for it. I had the chicken sandwich & my friend had the ricotta pancakes, both were WONDERFUL! The staff was great & attentive. We took the desserts to go & were again rewarded with goodness…definitely worth it.
J'ai récemment dîné au restaurant Dandy sur les conseils de la concierge de l’hôtel Westin & j'ai été agréablement surpris. Le service était exceptionnel, avec une serveuse adorable qui était aux petits soins. Le menu était à la fois gourmand & équilibré ce qui est plutôt rare à Montréal. C'est rafraîchissant de trouver un endroit où l'on peut savourer des plats qui ne contiennent pas que uniquement les habituels pomme de terre-viande/poissons/crustacés. Dandy propose par exemple, des chips de topinambour, avocats, tomates ancestrales, poivrons grillés, carottes rôties, suprêmes d’orange, échalotes marinées, pain au levain etc. Une expérience culinaire que je recommande. Je n’ai pas testé leur brunch mais il paraît qu’ils sont réputés.
Waited & hr to get in. I don’t like to wait. It is worth the wait. Small menu brunch but nice selection to cover every taste. Elegance with taste that is how I can describe the experience from this place. My son chose the venue & it was a great choice. We had several interns plus multi drinks. The dessert here is outstanding. Need to come back again next visit in august
