Mandy's is described as a popular fast casual spot for quick, healthy, and generously portioned salads with greens that are fresh, toppings varied, and dressings flavorful, and the menu offers plenty of plant based and vegan options clearly labeled. The Endless Summer and Habibi salads are repeatedly mentioned as favorites, and many reviews note the ability to customize with extra dressing or protein, while bowls like pulled beef or chicken options get praise for substantial flavors. The vibe comes through as bright, modern, and laid back, with interiors described as pretty and welcoming across locations, and staff consistently praised for friendliness, efficiency, and attentive service even during busy times. Some feedback points to improvements or hiccups, including occasional stockouts or substitutions that affect value, moments of very loud music or strong air conditioning, cashless payment concerns, and occasional online order instruction errors or missing utensils, but these are outweighed by overall enjoyment and return visits. People appreciate the fresh, colorful salads, the healthy options, the convenient locations, and the sense of a reliable, friendly environment that makes healthy eating feel easy, with a strong following across multiple sites.
I eat out a lot. When I feel bad about eating unhealthy, I finally pull the trigger & order from Mandy's. On the website I built my own salad for takeout. Nothing special: mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, feta, chickpeas, pita chips, chicken, marinated onions, Kalamata… $30. I've been programmed to accept expensive salads, but this is getting out of hand. Fine, I remove feta & pita chips - btw charging $2.75 for pita chips is criminal. You can get a whole bag for like $1.29 at Adonis. Whatever, I remove tomato & cucumber too because I have that at home. I'll make my own chips. Now it's $20. I get home. Salad looks decent, what you'd expect from Mandy's. Portion is okay. I asked for dressing on the side; good thing, because it was terrible. What happened to the quality of this olive oil? It went from decent to bitter low grade. The bowl was a bit small so I transferred it to another one. Lo & behold, that's when I saw disgusting lettuce. Old, slimy, soggy lettuce. Unacceptable. The whole point of paying $20 is that you expect fresh salad, not this slop. Sure, it was only around 10 leaves, but still unacceptable. I end up inspecting every leaf for slime & rewashing a few. That's exactly what I pay extra to avoid. How is this okay? Huge staff, huge marketing budget, & you can't guarantee fresh salad? This is the second time this happens, so I decided to write a review. Last time I told myself it was a one-off, but now I'm the sucker for going back. Don't make the same mistake.

Mandy's is one of my favourite places to stop for a quick, healthy, & balanced meal. Their salads are vibrant & colorful, the greens are fresh & crisp, & the toppings & dressings are varied & flavourful. The portion sizes are super generous too! There are plenty of plant-based & vegan options, all of which are clearly labelled on the menu. The Endless Summer salad has been my go-to for years & I never tire of it!
The staff are friendly & efficient, even during busy rush hours. There's quite a bit of indoor seating in a bright, laid-back atmosphere with comfy benches.
Bien désolée de mettre un avis négatif mais cela fait maintenant à 3 reprises que je suis très déçue. Ce n'est plus le Mandys du début. La fraîcheur & la qualité des produits ne sont plus là. Dommage !
This Mandy's is great!!!! Staff is amazing, salads are always well prepared, & super quick service!! Interior is also very pretty!! My favourite Mandy's on the island for sure!!
Stopped in in the middle of a rainstorm & wow, customer service is not dead! I couldn't decide whether to try a new salad & I was offered a sample taste of the dressing. She was so polite & attentive! Shout out to Meredith at Mandy's!!
The salads are amazing too 💕

We brought our delicious salads to the park to enjoy under a shade tree only to discover - there were no forks in the bag!!
We finally rustled up a couple to eat our amazing salads. Mandy, please don't forget the forks!
I LOVE MANDYS!! I used to only get the caesar because nobody could mess up a caesar, but i recently tried the habibi & WOW. I went two days later again (today) to get another one because it was just too good. However, today I noticed that the habibi was unavailable & called to discover that they were out of sweet potato. I asked if I could get it & replace the sweet potato with extra tomatoes. When I went to pick it up, they told me they actually found more sweet potato & gave me extra tomato. Safe to say I will be getting more soon.
Let me start by saying I ADORE Mandy's & it's always hard to resist when I go by one. I've taken visitors to the city in the Old Port, I've ordered it online, all the things. But the music is simply waaaaaaaayyyyy too loud :( I was at the Westmount location today & the staff was very kind & regretful about not being able to change the volume (they apparently don't have access). I don't understand this trend of having everywhere constantly having aggressive music that makes it feel like you're in a club. This is a restaurant; it should be relaxing! The decor here is so good, & the food delicious, why ruin it with music so loud you can't work or talk? Even with my earphones in, it was loud. On top of it, in this day & age where we have more awareness of noise sensitivities/neurodivergence & given we are bombarded every day with stimuli, it would be amazing to see Mandy's be forward thinking with this & be one of those places that provide an aural respite

Going to Mandy's is an enjoyable experience everytime. It has a variety of delicious, colourful & healthy salads, & the atmosphere is beautiful by being both trendy yet classic.
One word.'Wow.'
This place was awesome! Maybe I'm a little behind on the times since it was my first time trying it recently but now I know what I've been missing out on. Before eating a delicious salad from Mandys I had always thought'why open a salad restaurant' but now? Well now, let's just say I want them to open another one across the street from my house!!!!
Vibes? Immaculate !
Food? Amazing!!
Employees? Super cool!!!!
All that to say i fricking loved my experience at Mandys & I rarely feel the need to put reviews but they freaking deserve it.
My girlfriend had her heart set on some shoe shopping & a visit to a'salad place' in downtown Montreal. I went along for the ride, not expecting much-after all, I had poutine on the brain, not greens. But after a chilly afternoon running around the city with her, even I had to admit I was starting to get hungry.
We ended up at Mandy's, & while I didn't think I'd find anything that fit my very carnivorous preferences, a mushroom soup on the menu caught my eye. When I found out I could add chicken, that sealed the deal. I also grabbed a natural soda that, to my surprise, wasn't packed with corn syrup like most of what we get back home in the States.
The soup was absolutely delicious-rich, hearty, & warming in a way I wasn't expecting from a place known for salads. My girlfriend's salad, on the other hand, was massive-fresh, loaded with toppings, & so big she had to take half of it back to the hotel.
The staff were super friendly, & while the interior was fairly standard, we had no trouble finding a seat & enjoying our meal.
In the end, it was a culinary win I didn't see coming. I'd definitely go back-with or without my girlfriend dragging me in.

Pretty good salad. Not digging the new wooden forks though. :(
EDIT:
What happened to Mandys? The chicken doesnt even taste like chicken anymore.. They got rid of the Caesar salad to be replaced by Julius Caesar & you have to pay extra for the Egg. I used to eat here every week & now its more like once a month & the price keeps going up up up.
Visited this Mandy's several times. Service is good, fast, everything is clean, nice decorations & of course delicious fresh salads! Also nice place for having coffee or matcha.
Mandys salads are great. obviously expensive. & this location is very busy around lunch. but if you get a table to sit it's very nice. employees are very kind
J'adore leurs salades, ce sont vraiment mes préférées! Quand j 'ai envie d'une bonne salade, je commande du Mandy's si je ne peux pas m'y rendre. On peut composer sa salade avec nos ingrédients préférés, ou choisir l'une des gourmandes salades pensées par Mandy & cie.
