Needed something fresh to run on & Mandy's always delivers a satisfying lunch for me to make me get through the afternoon. Custom made salads are great & get me to discover new dressings. The cilantro cumin dressing needs to be a staple it is simply to good. Always sets a nice decor & vibe with every location.
Lumberjack 8/10 - tastes like a fancy ceasar salad
The Fav 9/10 - The honey mustard dressing was amazing, the contents are okay. Was great with the mock chicken (peanut satay)
underwhelming salad at a premium price. ordered the crunchy sesame & made the mistake of paying 6$ extra for tofu. there was barely a tablespoon of tofu in the entire bowl, crumbled up into minuscule hard-to-scoop pieces. definitely not worth the extra cost, & highly disappointing for customers wanting to add protein to this nutritionally sparse salad. the sweet sesame dressing is overwhelmingly sweet & borderline unpalatable. seating options are limited & the dining room feels claustrophobic; an employee wanting to help keep tables clean kept pacing around our tiny table which ended up being more bothersome than helpful-more a reflection of the confined layout than her good intentions. wouldn't come back, nor recommend.

We have a location in Toronto, but the first time I tried Mandy's is at this location in Montreal. I never thought I'd go to a salad bar or restaurant because I figured, what's the big deal with salad? However, my sister really likes salad so I took her here because well Mandy's is known for salad.
I was actually impressed! I got a steak salad & the greens were really fresh & there was a lot of salad in my bowl. The quantity is a lot & I wasn't sure if I could even finish it. Yes, I was almost not able to finish a bowl of salad. They are very generous with the portion for the price you pay & the dressing is actually quite good. I felt like a rabbit the whole time & my sister really enjoyed her salad.
The customer service is also very kind as well which I appreciated. They offered to make my sister another salad because of a potential allergy but it wasn't needed.
If you're looking for a healthy lunch & to get your veggies in, Mandy's salads is the spot! I would definitely probably go again!
I'm a big fan of Mandy's & I always get the Crunchy sesame with mock chicken. I tried this salad at this location & it was quite disappointing. I found that the greens were very bitter, mock chicken portion was very small & there was barely any dressing in the salad. I asked for some on the side & the stuff were kind enough to give me extra dressing. I paid 31$ & I did not feel like it was worth it. As for the service it was good, & the place itself was nice.
Mandys Gourmet Salads was a delightful & unexpected surprise during my visit to downtown Montreal. I wasn't specifically looking for a salad spot, but I'm so glad I found this one, located at 1241 Rue du Square Phillips, just off Saint-Catherine Street.
The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, cozy, stylish, & full of charm. I was warmly welcomed upon entry & chose to sit by the large bay windows, which made for perfect people-watching while I waited for my meal.
I ordered a generously portioned, seasonal salad that was both vibrant & delicious. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors well-balanced, & the dressing complemented everything perfectly. It was also quite filling, which was a pleasant surprise for a salad!
My server was kind & accommodating, contributing to an overall excellent experience. I especially loved the ambiance, relaxed, inviting, & full of little design details, including a lovely tree in the center of the space (whose name I've since forgotten, but it added a beautiful touch!)
Highly recommended if you're in the mood for a light, satisfying meal in a lovely setting, & a great spot if you enjoy people-watching in the heart of the city.
Fresh, delicious, expensive. A medium sized salad with lots of variety & tasty dressing. The portion of mock chicken was quite small unfortunately. We waited 15 mins for the prep on the nice patio outside.
I've been eating Mandy's for the past decade even though I'm constantly disappointed by them. 20$ takeout bowl for a small portion that left us hungry. I had to go home & add a bunch of ingredients to make it feel like a meal. Besides that, I love their dressing options & they've been pretty consistent at getting the orders right lately (new for them)
You would think that after 20 years of salad mastery, it's easy to make sure the takeout salad has enough dressing. But no, for almost 30$ after tax & tip/salad, what you mostly get is a desperate wanting for more of that delicious sauce. Please can i get a refund?
