Reviews describe Mandy's as a salad-focused spot where fresh greens and hearty bowls can feel surprisingly filling, with 'Le Fave' often highlighted as a standout option. Pricing is frequently labeled expensive, but many diners feel the large portions and flavorful dressings justify the cost when the ingredients are fresh. Experiences vary by location and visit, with some customers praising generous portions, good service, and a stylish, inviting atmosphere, while others complain about bitter greens, small portions of mock chicken, minimal dressing, or order mishaps. Takeout and dine-in are both popular, and the option to eat in or take out is appreciated by many. A few reviews mention catering orders going smoothly, though there are notes of inconsistency and even potential closures. Overall, Mandy's appears to be a go-to for salad lovers seeking variety and a quick healthy meal, though expectations should account for potential variability in taste, portion size, and value depending on location.
Two early deliveries, cold salads, & zero accountability.
I scheduled my orders for a specific time & twice they arrived early. When I called, they were unhelpful & blamed Uber instead of trying to solve the problem. No ownership, no solution.
For the price, you would expect fresh & tasty. Instead the salads were cold, mediocre, & overpriced. If a place cannot handle basic timed delivery, it says a lot about their service standards.
Not ordering from here again. Plenty of better options out there.
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 rarely give 1 or 2 🌟, however, when spending over $20, what I got was just a full bowl of cheap chick peas , mixed a bit of kale ( which I thought it would be the main ingredient of this salad) , w/ not so fresh feta.... one 🌟 is too much. I forgot to mention during the whole time, there was some annoying little bugs flying around, so disappointed 😞 won't return for sure.
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.
Unimaginably good & fresh salads of all varieties for meat eaters & vegetarians. Cannot say enough about this place. Order ahead, your salad is waiting for you. We went THREE times so that tells you something.

Top notch ambiance with an amazing staff I ordered veg salad for almost $20 & I would say its worth it. Quantity- 5/5(Should have some more variety, like fruit should be included), Service- 5/5(Best staff, specially both the girls in the front), Quality-5/5(Very fresh & refreshing). I tried for the first time & I am sure its gonna be my GoTo restaurant.
The girl at the counter on the day i went wasnt very approachable & was almost annoyed to take the orders & answer one or 2 questions on the salads. I didnt appreciate that attitude. The salads are ok but way overpriced. I remember years ago Mandy's salads had much more heart in them when they were still small, now it seems quickly & less freshly prepared. Place itself is good next to cinema but small
I ordered delivery so I mixed the salad myself. I was happy they packaged it that way so it didn't get soggy! When you go there, they mix it for you, though. The salad was very fresh & all the veggies, too. I added mushrooms & tomatoes, but it didn't need any extras, I will just trust the recipe next time! The butternut squash soup was a bit watery, but the flavor was rich & it was exactly what I wanted!
