The food here was good though not too much to choose from. However despite enjoying my breakfast we ordered the maple coffee & something about it tasted very off. We asked the waiter about it & he just acted like he didn't care whether or not we were enjoying our time here & just kind of dismissed us. We also waited in line for dandy for about 30 minutes which I think also added to the frustration as I was expecting something amazing.

Saw this place all over social media. It is very beautiful & Instagram worthy. However the coffee was vert disappointing & the food was not worth the high prices.

Waited for an hour. First; they gave us a small table for 3 people. The table was sized for two people but they just added a chair. When asked for a bigger table, they refused to move us because it was too busy. Second, the place was so busy that waiters were running around with plates. One of them hit my wife's head with elbow by accident. Terrible patient experience. Third, coffee was terrible. Bacon was too dry. Other foods were okay. Not going back to this place.

Dandy is a stylish & welcoming café in Montreal that offers a great combination of good food, quality coffee, & a relaxed atmosphere. Located in Old Montreal, it's the kind of place that feels effortlessly cool - a spot where you can enjoy a slow morning, meet friends, or take a break while exploring the city.

The atmosphere is one of the biggest highlights. The space has a modern yet cozy feel, with thoughtful details that make it feel comfortable & inviting. It has that perfect Montreal café vibe - creative, laid-back, & full of character. It's a great place to sit, enjoy your surroundings, & take in the energy of the neighbourhood.

The food was fresh, well prepared, & delicious. The menu has a nice variety of options, & everything feels carefully made rather than just a quick café offering. The coffee was also excellent & paired well with the meal. The presentation was beautiful, & you can tell there is attention to detail in what they serve.

The staff were friendly & helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that it can get quite busy, & depending on the time of day, finding a seat may be a challenge. It's also a little more of a premium café experience, so it may not be the most budget-friendly option for everyone.

Overall, Dandy is a wonderful Montreal café with great food, great coffee, & a beautiful atmosphere. It's definitely worth visiting if you're exploring Old Montreal & looking for a place with style & personality.

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.

Finally made it to Dandy & it definitely lived up to the hype. The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tasted, especially the bread-it was warm, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, & honestly one of the best parts of the meal. The fried chicken sandwich was juicy & perfectly cooked, & the egg on top was done just right. The halloumi sandwich was also delicious, with fresh ingredients that worked really well together. Even the side salad was crisp & well-seasoned instead of feeling like an afterthought. Great coffee, friendly service, & a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

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!
