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 à Montréal, reconnue pour son atmosphère animée et ses crêpes à la ricotta emblématiques qui constituent, selon de nombreux clients, le point fort de leur visite. Bien que le restaurant attire fréquemment de longues files d'attente et puisse être bruyant en raison de son succès, une grande majorité de visiteurs estime que la qualité des ingrédients frais et la saveur des plats, comme le sandwich au poulet frit croustillant et les pommes de terre rissolées, justifient largement l'attente. Le service est généralement décrit comme amical, attentionné et efficace, bien que l'expérience puisse varier lors des heures de pointe lorsque la salle est bondée ou que le service ralentit. Malgré des avis partagés sur les prix et le temps d'attente, la plupart des clients apprécient l'originalité du menu et la qualité constante, exprimant souvent le désir de revenir pour une autre expérience culinaire agréable.
A stylish restaurant in a gorgeous historic building. First walking by at 11:30 am on Saturday & there was a long line. On Monday, we came 10 minutes before opening & there was a line also. Everything was delicious including the drinks! The servers were very sweet. The pancakes were a hit & the zesty salad might be the biggest salad I've ever seen but I almost finished it because it was so delicious. Highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing brunch experience! I'll be thinking about the ricotta pancakes til we come back. Service was great! Drinks were great! Our patio spot was great! 💕
Of the many dishes we ordered, all of them tasted amazing. Almost no improvement is needed to make these dishes perfect. Probably the best meal I have eaten this year! If you're going to come here, I strongly suggest if you're coming for breakfast, to order the strawberry ricotta pancakes & the crispy smashed fingerling potatoes. The service was pretty good, bro not the best it could be. At first, our waiter seemed like he was very patient & wasn't afraid of talking, but almost when we were halfway done with our meal, our waiter seemed as if he didn't want to really talk & help us, however this didn't at all make an impact on the rating & my feelings of this restaurant. Don't forget to order the crispy smashed fingerling potatoes!

I've been to this restaurant twice & I want so desperately to like it, but it always just misses the mark for me. The first time, I tried their Ricotta Pancakes, not realizing the seasonal fruits are an extra charge! Overall, the pancakes were okay, but not as amazing as I expected them to be. Bacon is another extra charge & tasteless, which made for $7 down the drain. I also arrived as soon as they opened at 10am on the weekend & there was a bit of a wait, with a line out the door. The second time I went, I tried the Endless Summer Breakfast, which I enjoyed more than the pancakes. The seasoning on the avocado was absolutely delicious. The toast was a bit too hard for my liking, but the rest of the plate was lovely. This time, on a weekday around noon, there was no line. Both times, the wait to receive food after ordering was about 15 minutes long, enough time to chat but a bit too long for my tastes. Dandy is pricey, no doubt about it. If you want food & a drink each, you're looking about an $80 bill for two people.
The ricotta pancakes with strawberry were absolutely delicious - light, fluffy, & bursting with flavor. They were definitely the highlight of my meal. The mushroom toast & crispy smashed potatoes were also quite good, though I'd say they were more in the average range compared to the pancakes.
I recently had brunch here & overall, it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance was cozy & the staff were very friendly. The pancakes are the best & the maple latte is delicious too, but I'm giving it 4 stars because I wish they had a more extensive menu, especially with a mix of sweet & savory options
The ricotta pancakes are easily one of the best that I've ever had! The other things we ordered, especially the matcha pistachio cocktail were great too. It's always busy so expect a little bit of wait which is totally worth it.
