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.
Food was yummy & came quickly. I like that they don't have too many options on the menu. It's Easier to pick something out. It was a bit pricey in my opinion but still worth trying out. My husband & I paid 85$ for the both of us. It is very loud in there, so don't go if you want a peaceful quiet breakfast
Spectacular breakfast. We devoured it so quickly we didn't get very good pictures... lol. The depth of flavor on the pancakes, with the browned butter & maple syrup, were incredible. Pancakes were moist & fluffy. The strawberries were delicious--definitely worth it. The mushroom toast was unbelievable. I've never seen a restaurant go so hard on a mushroom dish. This toast was sauced generously, & piled high with fungi. The egg on top was perfect, too. Wow.
Breakfast @ Dandy !! I loved the vibes. Makes you feel you're in Italy somehow ! There was a 10 min wait, but that did not bother me. The staff were very nice & knowledgeable with the menu. I had the Ricotta Pancakes with the lemon butter. They come in a stack of 3 in a pool of maple syrup. It did not have the "wow" effect for me. I guess I am not a big fan of the zesty flavor or the added Ricotta. It took away from the original taste & flakiness of the pancake. They were good but different. Good choice for breakfast or lunch.

We ordered ENDLESS SUMMER BREAKFAST & PANCAKES. In my opinion both were pricy based on portion. Even coffee we ordered was pricy too! I ordered americano which was served in almost espresso size! The endless summer breakfast was served with only one egg (& one dough) for $22.99!! Also, you should pay extra for a pinch of pistachio & extra sweet syrup for your pancake for $7! (No fruits)
We celebrated Mother's Day with a delightful brunch at this restaurant, choosing from a spread that included Mushroom Toast, Ricotta Pancakes, & the Endless Summer Breakfast, with extra Crispy Bacon ordered at an additional cost. Each dish was beautifully prepared, & the uniquely unsalty, beef jerky-like bacon, though pricier, was definitely worth trying. The quality of the food & the warm, friendly service from the staff made our special day even more enjoyable.
We had an incredible breakfast at this place! The food was absolutely amazing, with such unique & delicious flavors. The only reason I couldn't give it a 5 star was because the line to get in was ridiculously long.
Delicious food, staff are all friendly & helpful. We had to wait in line but that's only because it's a popular breakfast spot! You could order coffee in line while you wait. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good breakfast spot while in MTL.
Dandy is a super popular breakfast/brunch resto in Old Montreal that fills up very, very quickly. A small bakery window faces a rectangular eating area fronted by a large arch & backed by an even larger window facing St. Jacques street. The menu itself is relatively limited with seven options listed (along with a few sides & whatever is available at the baked good counter at the front), but there is something for everyone...sweet, savory, breakfast item or lunch. For our meal we ordered the Ricotta Pancakes (good but a little on the dry side, although the maple syrup mix at the bottom of the dish was quite nice) & Mushroom Toast (also good, savory & large) coupled with the baked Butter Tart (yummy...you can never go wrong with a butter tart). Service was friendly & efficient with the meal coming out promptly (although we were one of the firsts to get our order in). NOTE: The restaurant opens at 10am & the line starts to build at 9:45am, if not earlier, so if you arrive at around 10:15 then expect to wait 45 minutes until the tables turn & new patrons are cycled through. Enjoy!
Upon arriving at the restaurant, my companion & I were warmly greeted by the hostess & promptly seated, although we did have to wait about 40 minutes for a table during the busy lunch rush. However, the friendly service & impeccable attention from the waitstaff made up for the wait. We opted for the avocado breakfast toast & the crispy chicken sandwich. While the avocado toast was delicious, served in a deep plate made it difficult to cut the bread comfortably. I'd suggest they serve it on a flat plate for easier enjoyment. As for the crispy chicken sandwich, it was an absolute delight. The chicken was flavorful, & the crust was soft & easy to eat. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, making it a perfect spot for brunch. Overall, despite a minor inconvenience with the avocado toast plate, I would highly recommend this place for a delightful brunch experience.
