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.
I really loved eating at dandy! My family wants to go again asap. The food was delicious & had giant portions-we didn't finish it all. The fingerling potatoes with aioli were incredibly crispy, salty, & tangy in all the right ways. The pancakes were simple, but done well. They were so thick & soft & the thick caramel syrup with the bitter ricotta cream was delicious. The fried chicken sandwhich was huge & juicy. It could use some hot sauce! Finally, the italiano was classic & delicious. Drinks were good too! There was a long line out the door, though, so don't show up starving.
Amazing!
No fluffing up the dishes with tonnes of potatoes
The fried chicken burger & pancakes are the stars of the show. I will definitely come back again.
Endless Summer: 4/5 I enjoyed the large portion & the seasoned avocado was great. The bread & egg was good but didn't wow me. The rest of the ensemble with the veggies & sauce was really good.
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwhich 5/5: the best for me it had a crunch with the fried egg. It was heavenly a must try.

Dandy's is was so bomb! Worth every penny & every minute of the wait!Every bite was exceptional, from the crispy fried chicken burger to the rich aioli that perfectly complemented the golden potatoes. The service was impeccable, & our food arrived so quick.
The ricotta pancakes were so delicious, I couldn't resist scraping up every last drop of maple syrup with my spoon! If you haven't tried Dandy's yet- you're missing out. We're already counting down the days until we can come back!
My pictures are so bad 😭😭 they do not capture how amazing this food was. Pro tip: you can put the fried chicken on the ricotta pancakes for a chicken&waffle type meal. The ricotta pancakes SLAPPED. The endless summer breakfast was good but just make it at home. The 5 stars is all because of the ricotta pancakes they're amazing. Go for that only & eat at home if you're still hungry
Service was friendly, attentive, & efficient. Place is designed to look spacious which is nice. Food was good but nothing special, especially for the price. I would say the cocktails are the highlight. My sister was of the same opinion for her food. Sausage roll could be better seasoned, mushroom toast was good but a little sweet for some reason, lots of mushrooms though which was great. Presentation could be better, putting the egg on top everytime doesn't make for the best photos. My sister got the fried chicken sandwich & she felt it was just alright, & I agree from the piece I tasted. The pistachio matcha drink initially tasted mostly like Bailey's. Make sure to mix in the pistachio topping to get the full experience which was delicious. Tiramisu latte with Kahlua was great. They do not skimp on the Kahlua.
First impressions: we were 2 people & arrived on a Monday at 11:30 am & saw about 7 or 8 groups ahead of us in line. We were expecting a 1 hour wait & would have been fine with that (we even brought out books to read in line). Nice surprise to see we got seated within 15 minutes. Service: waiter was very friendly & quick & came back several times to refill waters, even during the lunch rush. It took about 40 minutes to get our food after ordering, but again it was the lunch rush Drinks: my wife's $7.00 orange juice tasted suspiciously Tropicana (boo!), but my maple latte was great. Very sweet & tasted more like maple candies than maple syrup. Got an Americano after that which was nice. Food: started with the Chicken sandwich, which was huge & delicious. Fried chicken thighs (not breast) on a fluffy brioche with a herby creamy sauce on a bed of slaw that included granny smith apple. We cut it in half & shared. We added a side of fingerling potatoes which were crunchy & well seasoned with herbs & salt. Came with a side of garlic sauce, & went well together with the sandwich. Last we had the stack of pancakes which remained warm by the time we got to it. The pancakes were dense (not as fluffy as Arthur's) but intentionally so I think. The pool of maple butter at the bottom was awesome & did not get sponged into the bottom pancake. Came with lemon infused mascarpone on the side, which added some bitter to offset the sweet. I liked it, but my wife could have done without (but she still didn't give me her portion!) Overall was a great experience & would return to see what else Dandys has to offer!
Great brunch spot! Absolutely loved the buttermilk fried chicken & the pancakes are also delicious. Be prepared to wait in line for a bit though on busy days!
