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 little bit of waiting since Sundays are busy brunch days, but the service was quite fast when it came to the food, & the portions are like HUGE! 10/10 cute brunch date spot

J'ai bien aimé mes « pancakes », le décor & le service. Seul petit bémol: le menu brunch est assez limité. Quelques options de plus seraient appréciées.
Most friendly staff with impeccable service. An absolute must in Old Montreal without hesitation. They make a mean, juicy, mouth watering fried chicken sandwich served on the fluffiest brioche bread. The ricotta pancakes, bathing in liquid gold, will leave you speechless.
Great food. Inventive without being stuffy. Really cool decor. Attentive service ( even during the Christmas rush). Excellent value. A definite return visit for me, again & again.
Très bel accueil, staff souriant !
Nous avons passé un bon moment pour le brunch au Dandy, mon amie a pris les pancakes au citron Meyer & les a trouvé délicieux, quant à moi je me suis laissée tenter par la croquette de pomme de terre & saumon fumé, c'était très bon même si j'aurais apprécié un petit peu moins de sauce dans la salade, ca rendait le tout un peu trop gras.
J'allais oublié, le bacon est tout simplement à tomber. & mon café était très bon !
Merci à l'équipe !
Great chicken sandwich - among the best I've had (& I've had some). The pancakes are sublime. The stack of three fluffy ones eats like a rich & delicious cake. Really quite incredible.
Accueil attentif. Bonne nourriture & service. Les suggestions de plats étaient bien choisis. Nous aurions aimé prendre une autre bouteille de vin pour terminer le repas mais, on ne nous l'a pas proposer. La facture est arrivée sans que nous la demandions. J'y retournerai sans aucun doute. Très beau décor.
