Dandy fonctionne comme un bistrot sophistiqué qui souligne l'intersection entre les techniques culinaires artisanales et les ingrédients issus du marché. La conception intérieure reflète une esthétique industrielle caractérisée par de hauts plafonds et de grandes fenêtres qui illuminent la salle à manger ouverte. Les offres du menu se concentrent sur des plats classiques élevés, présentant des tartines de pain au levain garnies de produits saisonniers et de ricotta maison. La cuisine utilise systématiquement des composants frais et locaux pour construire des assiettes équilibrées qui privilégient la simplicité structurelle plutôt qu'une présentation complexe. Les clients profitent d'une atmosphère animée où l'accent reste strictement mis sur la qualité de la nourriture préparée et la fonctionnalité de l'espace de travail. Cet établissement équilibre la nature décontractée d'un café inspiré du marché avec la précision technique d'une cuisine de bistrot ciblée.
Dandy est une destination de brunch prisée à Montréal, reconnue pour son atmosphère animée et ses crêpes à la ricotta emblématiques qui constituent, selon de nombreux clients, le point fort de leur visite. Bien que le restaurant attire fréquemment de longues files d'attente et puisse être bruyant en raison de son succès, une grande majorité de visiteurs estime que la qualité des ingrédients frais et la saveur des plats, comme le sandwich au poulet frit croustillant et les pommes de terre rissolées, justifient largement l'attente. Le service est généralement décrit comme amical, attentionné et efficace, bien que l'expérience puisse varier lors des heures de pointe lorsque la salle est bondée ou que le service ralentit. Malgré des avis partagés sur les prix et le temps d'attente, la plupart des clients apprécient l'originalité du menu et la qualité constante, exprimant souvent le désir de revenir pour une autre expérience culinaire agréable.
Sept 2024 -Didnt like it. ordered chicken sandwich, ricotta pancake & breakfast avocado toast. All were OK. Food is overrated. Ambiance is good though. Coffee was OK too.
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.
