My wife & I used to come here semi-regularly before covid. They closed for a short while during & after. Since then we came by to look at the menu , It seemed different, & their kiosk across the hall ( now a Phillipino restaurant) was closed down, & we decided to move on.
Well today we decided to try it out again after a few years , & I'm glad we did.
We had the four meat platter ( two kinds of roast pork, duck, & chicken with rice & vegetable, an extra side of wok sautéed green vegetable, & split a wonton soup. Everything was very good , the service, the food, & the atmosphere. The price charged was also fair. We will be putting Dobe & Andy back on our restaurant rotation .
All food is delicious. We finished eating all foods. This is the most delicious Chinese cuisine in China town of Montreal. We love roast pork, duck & fried rice. The price is ok.
Highly recommend for all tourists.
DO NOT GO People! It's no longer the authentic Cantonese BBQ restaurant after they changed owner/chef. Big disappointment in the drop of food quality, we tried all four meats: charsiu is super fat, soy chicken has weird taste, duck comes cold & without plum sauce, & roasted pork came cold & not crispy at all!! Also much smaller portion in meat comparing to before… steam rice was okay but lowmein is overcooked & not'al dente. & the price went more expensive than Chinese bbq restaurant in New York, is it a joke?? only improvement: better attitude from non-Chinese waiter/tress, but also much slower in serving food.

This review is for the Dobe & Andy in Timeout Market. I ordered the Fried Rice Supreme for $19 with additional Pork Char Siu for $6. The combination was excellent. Next time I would order some sauce for $3 extra. It was a bit dry. But probably the best fried rice & porc char siu in Montreal.
ate at Doby's & Andy for lunch at Time Out market. crispy pork with chinese broccoli & 3$ extra for small portion of soggy noodles instead of rice. Very small portion in takeaway container. noodles tasted like nothing. crispy pork was good but only 5 small pieces. 27$ including 15% tip for one of the worst meals I have eaten this decade!
Dobe & Andy- a classic Chinese roast meats institution in Montreal.
As someone who needs a rice fixing at least once a week when traveling, I've been to Dobe & Andy every time I've been to Montreal, totaling 6+ times over the last 4 years. So my review is one part a love letter to the scallion oil that combines with the fattiness of the roast meats, & one part nostalgia.
If you come here, you are here for the meat platter. Char siu is solid, chicken is solid, roast pork belly is the standout. Duck skin is inconsistently crispy, but has never been underseasoned. With the scallion oil, any combination with the roast pork will hit the spot.
The other rice & noodle dishes are solid as well. We're here for the classic roast meats & classic Chinese dishes, not creative culinary takes. Dobe & Andy hits exactly the right spot- that of a weary traveler looking for a meal to reset the brain & stomach.
Bathroom can be difficult, as you need a key to access the stalls located in a separate part of the building.
Special shoutout to Ricky, who made our last visit memorable. Always relaxed & friendly service.
Finally visited the famous Dobe & Ande & when I first saw the menu I was underwhelmed. But then I ordered something really simple & was simple blown away! The menu says choose a meat & then choose some form of noodles or rice. What you get is just perfect in terms of flavor balance. Had the char siu with noodles ♥? That scallion sauce is insane! Order extra ahead of time, thank me later.
An OG of Montreal's Chinese BBQ scene. Straight to the point with quick BBQ on rice platters & Hong Kong drinks. Efforts were made to modernize while still maintaining the nostalgic HK movie vibes.
