The Food was not worth the hype & to make matters worse, the customer service or lack thereof made it worse. For some reason, our server treated our table differently from the table next to us.

So we came to dandy's because of the hype.
The line was incredibly long, so we had to wait for a long time. It looked quite interesting from outside, & everyone seemed pretty eager to get inside. We were a family of 4, but I will only speak of me & my sister's experience.
We specifically wanted my little sister to get her order first, because she was extremely hungry after waiting in line for 1 hour (I don't blame the line length, because they seemed understaffed, & full). But regardless of our specific request, I got my order first. Luckily, I had the same thing as my sister, so I gave mine to her.
Secondly, the staff didn't really pay attention to our table (I'm not trying to sound entitled, but there were no « is everything alright? » or « do you need anything else? » or « do you need a refill? ») for instance, we waited a very long time to get a water refill, & since the wait was so long, we got really thirsty. & my sister ordered iced water, so just extra ice, & it never came. Then, my sister raised her hand to call someone, & I raised my hand, & they saw us (like with eye contact) but they ignored us. But the good thing is that we did get our extra crispy pancakes, & I did get my cappuccino.
& finally, the actual food was, quote « delicious pancakes but they needed more sweetness ». Some of them had tiny burns, but they were negligible. The bacons were very good & the rolled sausage as well.
The only thing that reduced this places rating was mostly the customer service. But this place has immense potential. Thank you for reading this. But the food, considering the wait, it was way too expensive.

We went early in the morning before the restaurant was open & we went inside in five minutes & we sat down & waited for 12 minutes for the person to come & take order when all other table orders were taken before us, my kids were really hungry & we waited for 40 minutes for the food to arrive when the people next to us got the food & left also then we asked what's up with the order & they said it will take minimum 30 minutes to get the order infact the tables next to us had like 10 people & they got the order & they finished & left before we got our order. After that we got the order we ate & left. We had four people & small order of 4 items. If you are planning to wait for 40 minutes then go there. Food was good though

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!

This place is incredibly overrated. We waited in line for over 20 minutes, only to end up with one of the most disappointing meals we've had. Paid 130+ for 2 people. Why?!

The presentation looks great, but unfortunately that's where the positives end. The food itself was bland & below average. It's NOT GOOD AT ALL. It was also overpriced for what you get, & there was nothing unique or memorable about the experience.

To make matters worse, both my best friend & I started having stomach pain shortly after eating there. While I can't say for certain the food was the cause, it was concerning that we both experienced the same thing.

The atmosphere is nice, & the staff were genuinely friendly & welcoming, which I appreciated. However, good service alone isn't enough to make up for disappointing food.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. Save your money & try somewhere else.
