Dandy has been on my list forever, & with the constant lineups & hype around it, I was really looking forward to finally trying it. We went on a Monday at 10 a.m. & still had to wait in line, which is kind of crazy.

The space is cute & the service was good. We ordered the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, ricotta pancakes, fingerling potatoes, & the Endless Summer breakfast.

The fried chicken sandwich had a really nice brioche bun & decent slaw, but the chicken kept sliding out & overall I've definitely had better fried chicken sandwiches. The fingerling potatoes were easily the highlight - fantastic, especially with the aioli. The bacon could've been cooked a little more for my taste.

The ricotta pancakes were good, but again, I've had better. I did LOVE the brown sugar maple syrup though. The Endless Summer breakfast was alright, but nothing really stood out.

Overall, the food was decent, the vibes were cute, & the service was solid - but nothing blew me away enough to understand the amount of hype or the constant lineups. I'm glad I finally tried it, but I wouldn't wait around for it again.

We ordered the ricotta pancakes & halloumi sandwich which were both extremely flavourful & fun, would recommend :)

First - there will be a wait. Trust the rest of the reviews. Even on a rainy Monday. 60 minutes from getting into line to placing our order.
Service & food were fantastic. Once you sit down, they are prompt about getting you served (so they can flip the seat). It does take a little bit for the food to come out - but everything we had was amazing. The ricotta pancakes were excellent, as was the avocado toast. The bloody mary had an odd taste. Would avoid that.

I would visit & eat here again, but only if I lucked into a 15-20 minute wait.

There was a line around the block before the spot opened at 10 am. It moved quickly. Nicholas took care of us outside. My latte was yummy but the ricotta pancakes were ahhhhhhmazing. The maple syrup was like praline buttery goodness.

Hands down the best brunch & all of Montreal. It's a small menu but everything tastes delicious. I come here from Toronto a couple times a year & this is always the first place I want to eat at. I dream about their ricotta pancakes & I love how they have a seasonal topping to it so it keeps it exciting & fresh every time I visit. But the potatoes are just perfect!

I wish we lived in Montreal... We were on vacation & lucky to find this place. The food was *outstanding*! We were lucky & got in line about 10 minutes before they opened & got seated pretty quickly. The line quickly wrapped around the corner, though, so definitely get there before doors open.

The Ricotta Pancakes are the best pancakes we've ever had. I tend to veer away from'fancy' pancakes because they're often too sweet, but these were perfectly balanced, light, & fluffy. (Sorry, Cafe September...but these pancakes win! 🙈) The Endless Summer Breakfast was also incredibly tasty & unique. We were so glad to have good vegetarian options! I can't recommend this place enough. The inside is, of course, also adorable. Great food & great atmosphere--would highly recommend it!

Was staying in Old Montreal for a few days to see Ariana Grande & decided on trying Dandy's since we were down the street - best decision we made.
The reviews aren't lying, if you wanna get in ASAP - go 30 mins before they open as people start lining up before theyre open.
The staff were wonderful & the place is a good size, with tables perfect for parties of 4 & under.
The Ricotta Pancakes & Smoked Salmon Toast were both great! I definitely prefer the toast as the brown butter maple sauce used on the pancakes was a bit too sweet for my liking, but if you've got a sweet tooth you should try the pancakes out!
I tried the maple latte & it was also quite sweet - more sugar than the taste of espresso, so good for you sweet tooths out there!
The other drink ordered was the peach & ginger iced tea, which was a bit more ginger than peach :-)

Absolute 5-star brunch experience at Dandy! Everything we ordered was top-tier. I highly recommend the Ricotta Pancakes with brown butter maple sauce, the Endless Summer Breakfast, & the Buttermilk Fried Chix Sandwich on brioche. Exceptional food, amazing flavors, & a great atmosphere-definitely a must-visit spot in Montreal!
