Overall, Mandy's is described as a reliable favorite for fresh, flavorful salads with ample customization, big portions, and a bright cozy vibe that makes healthy meals feel inviting; the menu offers vegan, vegetarian, and protein options with the option to build your own bowl and have dressing on the side, and the taste and quality of ingredients receive frequent praise, with standouts like the 'Wild Sage Bowl' and the 'Seared Tuna Salad' getting repeated thumbs up along with popular smoothies. The atmosphere is often noted as chic, Instagrammable, and welcoming, with attentive service and helpful staff who accommodate allergies and substitutions. On the flip side, some reviews point to higher prices, occasional slow service or long waits, and inconsistencies such as missing ingredients at pickup or changes in packaging that impact the experience; a few also call for clearer online ordering communication and better reflection of prep times. Despite these concerns, the overall impression is that Mandy's delivers delicious salads, fresh ingredients, and a sturdy, consistent core that draws locals and visitors looking for healthy, quick meals, even as some visits vary in value and execution.
Première fois chez Mandy's & on est accueilli par Indra qui est un amour, un vrai coup de coeur! Service exceptionnel, chaleureux & attentionné, elle nous a raconté l'histoire du restaurant & des gens ce succès. Les salades sont absolument délicieuses, un vrai wow, & le décor est tout simplement fabuleux. Je reviendrai!

Beautiful & vibey bistro in Old Montreal! They focus on healthy food choices, great salads, soups & drinks/smoothies. I enjoyed my salad so much, good price for value. Staff is really friendly, too!
I ordered a habibi salad & added avocado, egg, tuna & extra dressing. It cost me roughly additional 18$ through Uber Eats. They added NONE of those toppings but still charged me for it. I don't understand how you can make that mistake. It's ok to miss maybe 1 additional topping but not to include any of them…they must be doing it on purpose. Avoid!
I really love salads so I was drawn to this'gourmet salad' location that reviews had raved about.
For roughly $17, it's certainly expensive for a salad but comparable to the prices outside these days.
Highlights:
A. the dressing. I wasn't expecting much but I agree now with others that it is quite the standout! More than sufficient & complemented the salad very well.
B. The avocado - generous portion (a quarter or half) & perfectly ripe & creamy.
C. Crunchy noodles - added texture to the salad
Areas of Improvement:
A. Had added extra sweet potato. Can't tell from the photo but they weren't very generous with the addition despite paying an extra amount to this. Was also diced so small I didn't really even notice it in the salad. Would personally skip the additions again if I knew.
B. No utensils or napkins in the bag. Luckily I was able to find another place that offered me that but normally it's offered already in the sealed takeout bag.
C. Lettuce size - agree with what someone else had said. It was a rather big leaf to eat sometimes & wish it was just a bit more refined.
Nice restaurant vibe inside. Would love to try dining in next time again.
Cosy & charming. Very fresh, tasty & delicious salads. I recommend the Shakti smoothie as well. & they were so kind to ask if we wanted the salad dressing mixed in or on the side. & they pre-split both our salads to make it easier to share! Can't recommend enough.
Une adresse idéal pour bien manger 🥰 J'ai composé mon propre bowl, il y a beaucoup de choix, de quoi se composer la salade parfaite ! Les ingrédients sont de qualités.

That's it; I've had it! I'm a regular lunch customer working nearby. I always pre-order & pre-pay. This location is *systematically* a minimum of 15 minutes late of the predicted time. Today, I waited 21 minutes after announcing myself & my order. My colleague, who pre-ordered 1 minute after I did, had her order ready upon arrival. You made my colleagues & I miss 2/3 of our lunch break, again.
Your inability to manage your line has a real impact to your customers.
Your salads are delicious but if I don't have opportunity to eat it in peace, what's the point.
I always show up at the time my order is supposed to be ready & then have to wait an extra 15-20 minutes. The time estimate on the online order platform should really match how long it takes to prepare, I already don't have a lot of time for lunch & this just eats into my break more.
Today my 25$ salad was missing the two most expensive ingredients, they didn't tell me when i picked it up & didn't even apologize when i walked all the way back to let them know. If an ingredient is out, it should be indicated on the online order platform or when the order is picked up.
I usually like Mandy's but I'm really disappointed & I found the salad very bland today.
Love the salads!
The service is impecable & everything you'd expect from this sort of establishment.
The new uniforms with the cap & apron made me feel like I was at an upscale mcdonalds haha
Really enjoyed customizing my own salad, but the pre set menu also sounds good
Portions are fantastic & abundant
Lowkey their best cookie is the vegan one, the regular ones are too sweet
MOCK CHICKEN YESYESYES
will be trying their coconut curry shrimp soon cause it sounds GOOD
I'm originally from Vancouver & the salad bars are amazing there. Having said that, there aren't many options in Old Port & I've given this Mandy's location four chances now & each time it's so disappointing. Today was the last straw. Please have a look at my photo…I'm sorry but if I wanted to eat whole pieces of lettuce like a rabbit, I could've just gone to the grocery store & bought a head myself. Not only was it unappetizing, I picked out 5-6 whole pieces of lettuce, the tortilla chips were whole size chips that I had to use my hands to eat & I paid almost $30 with tip for this atrocious thing. Am I crazy for thinking this is disgusting?! Mandy's needs to pay a visit to Vancouver or LA & see what a good salad looks like. Never again.

I've been here a few times & the salads are great but the service is insanely slow. Took 20 min just to get to order at the front counter & then 40 minutes to get a bottle of dressing from them
Blown away by the salads here. I got the sesame & added chicken- absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. The atmosphere is also wonderful, very cute vibes. A little expensive but it was so worth it!
Great salads. Lots of options if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. You can pick premade salads or build your own bowl. Food was delicious & prices are reasonable.
