Mandy's draws praise for absolutely delicious food and superb soups, with some diners even buying the cookbooks after tasting; but several reviews note smaller, pricier salads that undermine value, and the dining experience receives mixed marks with loud music, requests to wait outside, and plastic utensils in a small cardboard bowl for dine-in meals; while some describe healthy, tasty options, others express disappointment in portion size and overall consistency.
Used to live in Montreal years ago so was really looking forward to revisiting one of my favourite spots- was sad to see my favourite salad (the Superfood) is no longer on the menu :( Ordered the endless summer instead which was good too, but also sad there aren't pomegranate seeds anymore. Got my dressing on the side & the bowl was so full that it didn't mix in great. Miss the cup/deli container style packaging. & lastly, vibes in the place were pretty low. Still love my Mandy's, but just not quite the same as I remember!

Often delays in order
It s a pity that you are confirmed with a precise time to pickup your order & you often have to wait another 20 minutes after indicated to receive a simple (but good) salad…
8 minutes d'attente pour m'entendre dire qu'ils n'ont pas la matière première pour faire ma salade. Sans excuse ni compétences. Je suis sidéré de penser que des patrons paient un salaire à ces employés…
Mandy's would probably be able to give you more of the non-filler ingredients if they didn't use these these fancy custom paper bags & napkins with your $26 mediocre salad but that's a chain guess.
What a disappointment Mandy's has become . They've halved the size of their salads & upped the price . I never minded paying 30$ for a salad cause it was filling, but now it's just pathetic portion - i made my own salad- walnuts ( maybe there were 4 walnuts, cranberries , like 6 cranberries - tiny amount of lettuce / it's just a rip off - sorry - plus - why are they serving everything with Plastic forks in a tiny cardboard bowl? I was eating IN, not take out
I don't understand the hype with this place. The salads are far from amazing & they all taste the same to me. Using canola oil & charging the price they charge is 🚫.... their branding is also a bit extra..

I usually love Mandy's but today was a less-than-ideal experience for me. The staff was friendly but I wasn't asked for my take out (crunchy sesame) if my salad dressing should be separate or together with the salad. I also found that the whole salad had wilted lettuce leaves that affected the taste, & that there was very little salad dressing added. Rather disappointing for a $30 salad. I usually love Mandy's so I hope this branch can do better next time!
My favorite restaurant ever in Montreal. I highly recommend the pumpkin latte & all type of salads they have in their menu. I wish they have a Mandy restaurant in Colombia 🥹😍
Was able to order a child size salad which was perfect & a reasonable price. Love the decor & atmosphere & really enjoyed my salad & the dressing was delicious. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the crunchy noodles which I found bland & a little chewy. The cookies are amazing!
Mandy has really downgraded in the past years & is not really worth their price range anymore. Ingredients quality & freshness is sometimes questionnable. They also made mistakes in my last orders & it's starting to be a recurrent issue. Ordered a cesar salad, confirm I want the dressing mixed in & lemon juice on the side. They gave us plain cesar salads no dressing at all... like am I just supposed to eat plain romaine leafs
