Les avis sur Dandy dessinent globalement une expérience de brunch très positive, avec des portions généreuses et des plats vedettes comme les pancakes ricotta et le fried chicken sandwich qui impressionnent souvent par leur goût et leur présentation, le tout dans un cadre moderne et chaleureux. L’ambiance est appréciée mais peut être bruyante et très fréquentée les week-ends, avec des files d’attente longues et un rythme parfois rapide qui ne convient pas à tout le monde. Le service est majoritairement efficace et attentionné, avec des serveurs remarquables qui savent mettre à l’aise les clients et accélérer le service quand c’est possible. Le rapport qualité-prix fait débat: certains trouvent les prix élevés pour la localisation et la taille des portions, tandis que d’autres estiment la qualité et la fraîcheur des ingrédients justifier le coût. Dans l’ensemble, Dandy reste une destination de choix pour un brunch satisfaisant, en particulier pour les pancakes et les plats signature, tout en sachant que l’expérience peut varier selon l’affluence et les attentes en matière d’ambiance et de menu.
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.
We happened to come across this restaurant while visiting Montreal & were rewarded for it. I had the chicken sandwich & my friend had the ricotta pancakes, both were WONDERFUL! The staff was great & attentive. We took the desserts to go & were again rewarded with goodness…definitely worth it.
Most friendly staff with impeccable service. An absolute must in Old Montreal without hesitation. They make a mean, juicy, mouth watering fried chicken sandwich served on the fluffiest brioche bread. The ricotta pancakes, bathing in liquid gold, will leave you speechless.
Unfortunately we were disappointed by our breakfast at Dandy. The server was great but the food was just okay. I ordered the breakfast sandwich & found the verrrry thick cut bacon not cooked enough; it was just fatty, no crisp anywhere. The bread was large & almost overpowering. My husband saw a pic of the ricotta pancakes on instagram so had to get them. Again, disappointed. They tasted like Aunt Jemina powder pancakes!
