Dans l'ensemble, Dandy est présenté comme une adresse brunch populaire toute la journée dans le Vieux-Montreal, connue pour ses pancakes à la ricotta et un sandwich au poulet frit très croquant, des portions généreuses et un personnel amical et efficace; l'ambiance est vivante et stylée, le café et les boissons sont appréciés, mais les files d'attente et des incohérences occasionnelles de service ainsi que des tarifs plus élevés peuvent influencer certaines visites; pourtant de nombreux avis indiquent qu'ils reviendraient pour tester d'autres plats et apprécient l'ambiance et la cuisine de qualité qui font la renommée de Dandy.
J'ai vraiment été bluffé par ce restaurant. Je ne savais pas que des pancakes & un sandwich au poulet frit pouvaient être aussi bons. La pâtisserie à l'érable était délicieuse également. Le service était excellent aussi. Je recommande d'y aller hors des heures de pointe pour ne pas attendre trop longtemps avant d'avoir une place. Ce restaurant est devenu mon endroit de brunch préféré dans le vieux Montréal !
Honestly, I don't mind standing in line for a long period to try something good but for this place I do not get the hype. I got the ricotta pancakes & it was just ok. Do not understand why there's such a long line always.
A cozy & charming spot for brunch close to Old Montreal! The staff were friendly & suggested many options for additions/substitutions to meals. The coffee & the ricotta pancakes were top tier!
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.
Nice place with good service but a bit disappointed of the food, definitely not in the level of September, especially the pancakes which were just mid.

You should come here. It was amazing. We had the ricotta pancakes & the chicken sandwich, it was spectacular!! Great service, great atmosphere. You will love it.
Waited 35min for pancakes when the table that arrived after us got their food, finished & left by the time we received our food. The waiter definitely made a mistake but didn't even apologize, instead the front door guy did (kudos to him).
When the food finally got to our table, we realized that the entire restaurant had their food except us & another couple which arrived before us & also didn't get their food (from the same waiter). We returned the pancakes to the kitchen because waiting 35min for pancakes made no sense & we had to another appointment.
We brunched on April 3rd at 10am & the waiter was wearing a Kaws shirt. He saw that we were getting impatient & didn't rush the kitchen nor apologize. I loved Dandy but this was a disappointment.
The ricotta pancakes are the best pancakes I've ever had! I couldn't believe how good they were. Dandy is such a cute spot, lovely atmosphere, delicious food & great service
Not only was this the best breakfast I've had on this trip, but it was the best meal overall. Delicious food, friendly & kind waiters, & the atmosphere was lively & fun but not overwhelming. We got the ricotta pancakes, fried chicken sandwich, & side of smashed potato fingerlings. Every single item was superb! I'm going to be dreaming about those pancakes for weeks. The chicken was soooo tender. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Highly highly recommend. My only regret is not finding this place sooner during our trip so we could come here more than once!
