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.
Après avoir entendu de très bons commentaires sur ce lieu, j'en ressors un peu déçue. La carte mentionne des options low gluten à côté des pancakes, pourtant il n'est pas possible de les préparer sans gluten. Très peu de choix sans gluten (le granola, le petit déjeuner & un brownie). Le service a été très lent.
The food is delicious & fresh ingredients that you can taste immediately upon eating. It was busy as we went during brunch time. However there were no delays in service nor in delivering the delicious food & drinks. I was delightfully surprised at the ricotta pancakes, the chicken sandwich & my breakfast dish.
I agree with another review that the chicken was a surprisingly scrumptious & juicy. Not to mention the unique coffee. The atmosphere it's well lit, clean, spacious & welcoming design. My children & I enjoyed it.

A lovely spot with a great atmosphere & consistently good food. The ricotta pancakes are truly outstanding :light, fluffy, & perfectly balanced, easily one of the best I've had.
Amazing place for brunch. There's plenty of seating but it gets busy very quickly. We had the mushroom toast, the chicken sandwich, the avocado toast, & the ricotta pancakes. Everything tasted excellent! Service is good too. Coffee was also very good & the pastry is delicious.
I loved their roasted potato , coffee & the interior but the famous pancakes & I (went twice ) were still a Dough & liquidy from the inside both visits !! No strawberries available with it but would go again for the roasted potato
The brunch here is amazing although on the pricier side but worth it ! You NEED to get the pancakes !!! Try to reserve in advance so you avoid the insane line.

Dandy hands down has the best pancakes ever. While visiting Montreal, I came here every day just for the ricotta pancakes. Make sure to ask for extra syrup it's buttery & absolutely mouthwatering. The customer service is fast & efficient as well.
Dandy in Old Port absolutely nailed it. Our party of four was seated & served shockingly fast, & the service from Uriel & Antoni was warm, attentive, & genuinely kind. Michael's menu is a joy to read & even better to eat-those pancakes with maple syrup & ricotta-lemon cream were the best of my life. We ordered one of every dessert for the table & didn't leave a crumb. Beautiful atmosphere & design, delicious food, flawless service. Can't wait to come back.

Food was good. Pancakes were delicious. Hubby had the chicken sandwich. So big he couldn't bite into it with out removing one of the chickens on it. He really liked though. People were nice but it does feel a little cramped. Would go again.
Love this place always. I've been several times now & I am never disappointed. The pancakes are fluffy & delicious. I had the salmon toast this time & it was very good, fresh & flavourful. The portions are generous, the coffee is good & the service is good. Note that it gets quite loud in there, I know some people dislike that. Worth it 100% though!
Dandy's was a wonderful Sunday brunch experience all around! We arrived at the peak time & waited for a short time, but the staff kept busy & the tables turned. The dining area table arrangement was so unique, offering neighborly banter or privacy. We enjoyed brief exchanges with both our neighbors on either sides, which certainly enhanced our positive experience of the restaurant & the city!
The food selection was limited but inclusive of brunch favorites with Dandy's special prep! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich & loved it. I only wished I could have also ordered the pancakes. Two cocktails are included in our final bill, plus gratuity. I thought it was reasonably priced.
The service was attentive, courteous & friendly. I couldn't ask for more.
Dandy's is a bustling hotspot that draws crowds, especially on weekends when you might find yourself waiting in line for about 30 minutes. So, is the wait worth it? Personally, I'd say not quite. But if you happen to stroll by when there's no queue, it's definitely worth a try.
Our main reason for visiting was to indulge in their renowned ricotta pancakes. Some reviews compare them to the pancakes at OEB Breakfast Co., which you can find in Vancouver & Toronto. In my honest opinion, they don't really compare - OEB still takes the crown. Dandy's pancakes are dense & tend to stick to your sides longer, which might appeal to some. If lemon flavor is your thing, great. Otherwise, ask for lemon cream on the side. The salad we ordered was nice but didn't really stand out.
Wait was about a half hour at 1pm on Sunday, but so worth it! Our group ordered the ricotta pancakes, fried chix sandwhich, & endless summer. All were delicious & mind blowing. Ricotta pancakes were dense (in a good way!).
