Dans l'ensemble, Dandy est présenté comme une adresse brunch populaire toute la journée dans le Vieux-Montreal, connue pour ses pancakes à la ricotta et un sandwich au poulet frit très croquant, des portions généreuses et un personnel amical et efficace; l'ambiance est vivante et stylée, le café et les boissons sont appréciés, mais les files d'attente et des incohérences occasionnelles de service ainsi que des tarifs plus élevés peuvent influencer certaines visites; pourtant de nombreux avis indiquent qu'ils reviendraient pour tester d'autres plats et apprécient l'ambiance et la cuisine de qualité qui font la renommée de Dandy.
I came here for brunch, & it was absolutely delicious! I had the fried chicken burger, & wow, the flavors were amazing. The atmosphere is so nice, & the service was great. If you're planning to come for brunch, try to get there early because there might be a bit of a wait in line. But trust me, the wait is totally worth it!
I found this restaurant on Google by searching'best brunches in Montreal'. I also read another'world traveleing milennial's' article on the'10 best breakfast spots to go to' & figured this breakfast was going to be a homerun. We tried two times before around on the weekend where there was a line out the door, so no chance there. We finally got a table for four on a Tuesday arriving at 10am. The decor is nice, i'm sure the ceiling arches provide a great backdrop for that'mimosa while wearing my overcoat & adidas gazelles' or something hip like that, but that's probably the best this establishment can offer. I don't mind getting fancy or experimental with breakfast, but at the end of the day, I like the option to have some good scrambled eggs & nice european toast. Would it cost this restaurant too much to provide maybe a few omelette options? Once you get the menu, you'll know what I mean. The'Endless Summer Breakfast' is a fried egg on toast that could honestly have been used as a second plate. Very hard. The salad that goes along with it isn't your typical breakfast complimentary salad. Cherry tomatoes, zucchini mixed with Tzatziki sauce. Eh. I could think of a few better options. The pancakes were soggy & swimming in syrup. How about let the customer put the syrup on? They tasted okay, but not worth the marquee position on the menu. All the reviews i've read about these being the best pancakes ever...come on, pump your pancake brakes. They were okay. They don't have regular coffee. I get it. That's not en vogue. All the 20 & 30 year olds want the iced lattes. But how about drip coffee? You should at least have that. Instead, I have to get an Americano -- which is close to regular coffee...but, again, you have a beautiful spot, expensive latte machines & your job is breakfast. Just provide coffee. I can let food slide sometimes if the coffee gets me going. The barista brought us two americanos with the same excitement we saw from the Lynx & sleepy racoons at the Biodome. Zilch. Nada. Aucun. I understand keeeping the menu simple, but this was too simple & niche. I could read the faces of some of the over-50's like me as they flipped the menu over --'Where's the rest?' $168 dollars later I learned my lesson - don't take restaurant advice from a 30 year old'world-traveling instagrammer'. Long lines don't mean good food. They've just been overhyped by follows & likes from some influencer on the InstantGram. There is a spot 5 minutes away that is absolutely fantastic - Olive & Gourmando - go there.

Nice place with good service but a bit disappointed of the food, definitely not in the level of September, especially the pancakes which were just mid.
Great spot! We did have to wait over an hour, but the atmosphere & service made it worth it.
As a vegan, I was able to piece together a meal from a couple of sides, which I appreciated. It would be even better to see a main that's easy to customize (like swapping meat for tofu) or a dedicated vegan option. The coffee was delish!
My party all really enjoyed their meals too!

Anthony absolutely made my day. Violently hungover (& on my birthday no less), i came in with little apetite & a lot of nausea, but amazing service & amazing food & drink. Anthony is the GOAT
You should come here. It was amazing. We had the ricotta pancakes & the chicken sandwich, it was spectacular!! Great service, great atmosphere. You will love it.
Fantastic find! Was looking for a brunch place that was open during the weekdays to meet a friend. The menu is limited but everything on the menu looks great! My friend tried the chicken salad & loved it. I tried the buttermilk chicken sandwich & was surprised to see the size of the sandwich!! The chicken was super crispy & just delicious. Would definitely go back again to try other dishes for my next brunch.
Also the service is very friendly & awesome!
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 :(
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!
