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.

Honestly worst breakfast for $43.76 ever

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

Hype without a single good thing to say. Shocking

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.
