Reviewers describe Mandy's as a salad-focused spot with fresh, generous portions and a wide variety of options, often praised for tasty dressings and healthy choices, and for friendly, attentive service; the atmosphere and location make it a popular stop, with some saying it is a reliable post-workout meal and others noting that while the salads are delicious, portions or prices can feel imbalanced, occasional issues like small mock-chicken portions or order mix-ups; takeout is convenient, and some love the option to eat in or take out; overall impressions are favorable but with caveats about value and occasional inconsistencies.
Such a cute Montreal staple. The salad portions are generous & always fresh, & the service is consistently top-notch. I always feel so welcome here. Definitely a must-try!
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!
