Dandy fonctionne comme un bistrot sophistiqué qui souligne l'intersection entre les techniques culinaires artisanales et les ingrédients issus du marché. La conception intérieure reflète une esthétique industrielle caractérisée par de hauts plafonds et de grandes fenêtres qui illuminent la salle à manger ouverte. Les offres du menu se concentrent sur des plats classiques élevés, présentant des tartines de pain au levain garnies de produits saisonniers et de ricotta maison. La cuisine utilise systématiquement des composants frais et locaux pour construire des assiettes équilibrées qui privilégient la simplicité structurelle plutôt qu'une présentation complexe. Les clients profitent d'une atmosphère animée où l'accent reste strictement mis sur la qualité de la nourriture préparée et la fonctionnalité de l'espace de travail. Cet établissement équilibre la nature décontractée d'un café inspiré du marché avec la précision technique d'une cuisine de bistrot ciblée.
Dandy est une destination de brunch prisée dans le Vieux-Montréal, reconnue pour son ambiance animée et ses célèbres pancakes à la ricotta, que de nombreux clients considèrent comme le point fort de leur visite. Bien que le restaurant attire fréquemment de longues files d'attente, les convives estiment souvent que l'expérience en vaut la peine grâce à un menu frais et savoureux, incluant des plats comme le sandwich au poulet frit et le déjeuner d'été. Le service est largement décrit comme étant chaleureux, efficace et attentionné, bien que certains clients soulignent que l'endroit peut être bruyant et l'espace entre les tables un peu restreint. Malgré quelques critiques concernant les prix ou les portions, le consensus général souligne une expérience culinaire de qualité qui incite les visiteurs à y retourner lors de leurs prochains séjours en ville.
Absolute 5-star brunch experience at Dandy! Everything we ordered was top-tier. I highly recommend the Ricotta Pancakes with brown butter maple sauce, the Endless Summer Breakfast, & the Buttermilk Fried Chix Sandwich on brioche. Exceptional food, amazing flavors, & a great atmosphere-definitely a must-visit spot in Montreal!
Amazing food. I had a great cappuccino, the everyday breakfast was interesting & comforting with a perfectly cooked egg. When you order the bacon you get 4 large slices. Definitely get there before opening if you have a large group as the line up is definitely well deserved!
Difficult to get in due to huge lines but fantastic food. Menu is simplistic but a few items on there are quite amazing.
Service was excellent & really enjoyed our later-than-usual-breakfast.
Tables are a bit too close to each other but it's manageable.
Highly recommended to at least try it while in Montreal 🤗

We loved Dandy so much the first time we came during our long weekend in Montreal that we came back the very next day! We made sure to get there right when it opened so we didn't have to wait in line. The first day we both got the endless summer breakfast, which was fantastic & had great flavors & textures. I saw people get the pancakes & knew I wanted to get those the next day, so we can back & ordered the pancakes on top of the fried chicken sandwich & the grilled halloumi sandwich (it was a lot of food, but we ate it all & it was SO WORTH IT!). What really makes each dish stand out is the amazing bread (the sourdough & focaccia are to die for) & high quality/fresh ingredients. The service is a bit slow at times, & there is a longer wait for food than at some places, but the food is worth it. We would recommend this place to anyone for brunch!
Their pancakes are the best in downtown. I ordered a summer breakfast which was nice but after tasting my husband's pancake, I had to order another pancake serving for myself. The passionfruit lemonade & the coffee was too good as well. Highly recommended.
Great choice for breakfast! A line forms outside before they open the doors so get here early. Great food & good service. My coffee & water glass was filled every few minutes. I love my bacon & eggs every day & this place didn't disappoint. My daughter ordered pancakes which came in a large bowl. We had no syrup. These pancakes were mildly sweet & sitting in a bath of brown butter. The flavor & texture were amazing. The tables are closely positioned to your neighbor, & it gets loud in here. I felt like it was a large family gathering. It's clean & modern & the service is quite good. We didn't wait long for our breakfast to arrive. I had a cappuccino that was made to perfection as well.
Beautiful space, delicious food (I had the Endless Summer Breakfast, wow) & very kind service. I'll make this place a staple for all my future trips to MTL 💗
The hour wait on a rainy Saturday was well worth it. The atmosphere was vibrant & welcoming, the customer service was excellent from start to finish & the food was absolutely amazing, perhaps the best breakfast we've ever had! My husband had the smoked salmon with capers, I had the summer breakfast both had Americano coffees. Highly recommend & can't wait to return!
Service was good! There was a line out front waiting but since we were a group of 2 we got seated quickly. We went for breakfast around 11:45 & it was packed! Pretty loud in there but not enough to where you couldn't hear the people at your table. Food was amazing! I especially recommend the side of fingerling potatoes with the aioli. Bathrooms downstairs were unisex & clean.
Like avocado was more raw than I'd allow myself to eat at home
Some cold salad with whatever sauce
Piece of bread & 3 slices of horrible dry bacon
Oversalted crusty egg
Cappuccino just sucks
I have very rarely witnessed a more tragic scene that having this dish on the menu
