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.
Food is good but def not worth the wait. Just your normal overpriced brunch items (we are talking an avocado toast for $22 CAD). Nothing too special. What made us uncomfortable to give it a better rating is the service. Not sure if it's because we didn't speak French or looked like tourists. We found our server to be not attentive. Our server took our drink order & then was no where to be found. We had to try very hard to fly him down. The table next to us were seated after us but got their order & food way faster (We didn't get our food until they were almost done).
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.
Spectacular breakfast. We devoured it so quickly we didn't get very good pictures... lol. The depth of flavor on the pancakes, with the browned butter & maple syrup, were incredible. Pancakes were moist & fluffy. The strawberries were delicious--definitely worth it. The mushroom toast was unbelievable. I've never seen a restaurant go so hard on a mushroom dish. This toast was sauced generously, & piled high with fungi. The egg on top was perfect, too. Wow.
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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ friendly & amazing service; lovely, cozy ambiance & decor; delicious (I mean yummy) food (mushroom toast 🤤) & by far one (actually 2) of the best espresso martinis I've had! You gotta go!

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!
Upon arriving at the restaurant, my companion & I were warmly greeted by the hostess & promptly seated, although we did have to wait about 40 minutes for a table during the busy lunch rush. However, the friendly service & impeccable attention from the waitstaff made up for the wait. We opted for the avocado breakfast toast & the crispy chicken sandwich. While the avocado toast was delicious, served in a deep plate made it difficult to cut the bread comfortably. I'd suggest they serve it on a flat plate for easier enjoyment. As for the crispy chicken sandwich, it was an absolute delight. The chicken was flavorful, & the crust was soft & easy to eat. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, making it a perfect spot for brunch. Overall, despite a minor inconvenience with the avocado toast plate, I would highly recommend this place for a delightful brunch experience.

Cute place in Old Port. It's wasn't too busy. We got a table the second we got in. I'm not gonna lie I came for the pancakes. I was told they were the boom. Com!!! We had the avocado toast & the pancakes for dessert. Good portions!! As for the pancakes, they were OK. I cant say they were the best I ever 6. The fluffiness was missing for me but overall. It's a good spot for brunch
It's worth every penny. I promise if you go there to start your day you will have an excellent day. The chicken sandwich with egg was incredibly well seasoned & juicy, & the avocado sourdough toast with egg & tzatziki salad had some incredible flavors that I didn't seem possible for such a seemingly basic dish. Really happy I went here, I would eat here every day if I could.
Great brunch—very much enjoyed the shakshuka toast & my mimosa. My companion enjoyed the ricotta pancakes. Beautifully designed restaurant & great crowd.
