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.
Wow! That's all I have to say. I ordered the Ricotta pancakes & I was completely blown away. It was beautiful. I took a bite from a friend's chicken sandwich & wow! Applause. This was a delight. The food is pricey but worth it.
Please go to Dandy for the ricotta pancakes!!! I would have ordered one of everything on the menu but decided on zesty salad, which was SO GOOD. The spiked pistachio matcha latte too! I dream about having lunch at Dandy after my visit 😂

Disappointing. I heard about the ricotta pancakes & had to try them. I make anginetti cookies with ricotta & they are super soft & light so I was imagining something similar. These were dense, with visible clumps of dry, bland ricotta. The syrup they were sitting in was a must. Restaurant was full on a Thursday at about 11 am - we were seated right away but the tables were so close together along a long bench that I had to move the table to sit down. No carpet or soft surfaces so sounded like a typical loud, busy diner. I tried to order a scrambled egg to get some protein with my pancakes & learned they would not serve their eggs scrambled, only poached or fried. I ordered hard over because I don't like a wet yolk. Came out so salty I could barely eat it. Maybe the chef was offended by my order? The experience just didn't live up to the the hype.
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.
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.
Breakfast @ Dandy !! I loved the vibes. Makes you feel you're in Italy somehow ! There was a 10 min wait, but that did not bother me. The staff were very nice & knowledgeable with the menu. I had the Ricotta Pancakes with the lemon butter. They come in a stack of 3 in a pool of maple syrup. It did not have the "wow" effect for me. I guess I am not a big fan of the zesty flavor or the added Ricotta. It took away from the original taste & flakiness of the pancake. They were good but different. Good choice for breakfast or lunch.

We celebrated Mother's Day with a delightful brunch at this restaurant, choosing from a spread that included Mushroom Toast, Ricotta Pancakes, & the Endless Summer Breakfast, with extra Crispy Bacon ordered at an additional cost. Each dish was beautifully prepared, & the uniquely unsalty, beef jerky-like bacon, though pricier, was definitely worth trying. The quality of the food & the warm, friendly service from the staff made our special day even more enjoyable.
Notre premier petit déjeuner à Montréal & c'était très bon ! Nous avons eu un peu de queue en arrivant mais nous avons dû patienter 20 min tout au plus. Accueil chaleureux & plat savoureux. On sent que tous les produits sont de qualité & c'est agréable. On a particulièrement apprécié les pancakes à la ricotta qui étaient accompagné d'un sirop d'érable très bon. Sans contest, ils sont rentrés dans notre top 5 des pancakes qu'on a mangé en Amérique du Nord !
A beautiful spot! I've been here a few times & my favorite items are the super yummy salad, the ricotta pancakes, & the mushroom toast. This place is a must visit in Old Montreal.
Dandy is a super popular breakfast/brunch resto in Old Montreal that fills up very, very quickly. A small bakery window faces a rectangular eating area fronted by a large arch & backed by an even larger window facing St. Jacques street. The menu itself is relatively limited with seven options listed (along with a few sides & whatever is available at the baked good counter at the front), but there is something for everyone...sweet, savory, breakfast item or lunch. For our meal we ordered the Ricotta Pancakes (good but a little on the dry side, although the maple syrup mix at the bottom of the dish was quite nice) & Mushroom Toast (also good, savory & large) coupled with the baked Butter Tart (yummy...you can never go wrong with a butter tart). Service was friendly & efficient with the meal coming out promptly (although we were one of the firsts to get our order in). NOTE: The restaurant opens at 10am & the line starts to build at 9:45am, if not earlier, so if you arrive at around 10:15 then expect to wait 45 minutes until the tables turn & new patrons are cycled through. Enjoy!
We finally got around to trying @dandy.mtl to see if it lived up to the hype. They don't take reservations but we only waited about 15 minutes at 10:45am, not too bad. We were served extremely quickly & ordered delicious, satisfying, Ricotta Pancakes covered in luscious syrup & the buttermik fried chicken sandwich featuring some of the best crispy, delectable fried chicken we've ever had. We washed this down with a delightful maple latté. We finished & were driving home by 11:30am. We don't eat slow but, while everything was excellent (service included), we did feel the overall atmosphere is fast paced & a little rushed. Personally, the opposite of the feeling we want on a Sunday morning but food-wise, yes, it does live up to the hype.
