Always received great service by Catherine, Stéphanie & Julia! It was professional, & they made sure everything was satisfying.
I tried their mushrooms mac n cheese, & orange hot chocolate.
The mushrooms mac n cheese was creamy, warm, & had a nice crust. It was super comforting to eat on a cold day!
The orange hot chocolate was also pretty good. It is a combination I haven't seen very often elsewhere.
Ps: I forgot to take a picture of the mac n cheese, because I was too busy devouring it.

There is no reason now to enjoy Olive & Gourmando, you can now make a reservation at the Royalmount. The space is beautiful, the service attentive & the food is really incredible. The tomato soup is the best I ever had & the Cuban sandwich is simply the best in the WORLD....REALLY!
Bravo à toute l'équipe. To be more objective in my comment & review, the only drawback is that its hard to find as the Royalmount is huge.
Justine
Nice to sit outside in the summer & bonus that I can have my dog sitting at my feet! Definitely less hectic than the Old Port location which is a plus. Food & coffees are delicious but definitely very pricey.
Me
Food is very mid, beans were not cooked enough, coffee was mid & service could be better, but the decor is cosy & charming
Sly
Food is good, but 26$ for just a sandwich is pushing it a bit.
Service was fine, but they forgot to change our reservation

Je n'ai pas été impressionnée par l'offre du menu brunch. C'était bien, sans plus. Connaissant la réputation du restaurant du Vieux-Montréal, ça m'a surprise.
Le temps était splendide, la terrasse était agréable.
Café savoureux.

Overall disappointing experience. The food was very good, but for 25$ for a sandwich you'd expect at least some sort of side like a salad or fries. The Cuban sandwich was very tasty, & my friend enjoyed her Chicken sandwich. The French toast tasted like plain bread with a side of syrup.
The service however was just plain awful. The waiter was very slow, & also forgetful - I had to ask for the same thing twice, & finally just asked another server who finally came through. I really enjoyed the original location in the Old Port, but this one pales in comparison & simply is not worth it.

Paid 40$ for a to go chicken Cesar salad that just tasted entirely of garlic. Highway robbery. Doesn't even compare to the one In old port 👎

Abhishek
I've been to their original location a bunch of times & this new one is awesome too. We had the Cubain, Chicken melt, cardamom knots, French toast, & soba salad. Everything was great! It is a touch expensive though. Highly recommend!

The food itself was really good!
But, their Cuban sandwich isn't comparable to the one in the old port.
I'm giving it 4 star mainly because of this, as I feel the food quality isn't as good as the old port one. Nevertheless very good food!
Their salad is super tasty & light!
One last thing about price, I agree with others it's indeed on the pricier end, but given the decor & the place, I feel it's just priced, just don't expect to be paying a dinner or food court price at this place.

Honestly, the only reason I'm giving 2 stars for the food is the pricing! It was very tasty but nevertheless, it was ridiculously expensive for what is was. I'm siting there a cafe type of place & I'm paying the price of a high end restaurant! Makes no sense. & the worst, is the kids menu. 12$ for a tiny grilled cheese with no sides & not even a drink! Is it normal to pay almost 100$ for 1 adult & 2 kids at a cafe? Yes the place is super nice, the ambiance is great & the service too. But come on. I get that every meal now is 20$ & up regardless of what it is, even for a stupid croissant. But if you're gonna have kids menu, own it & give them something more than a tiny square grilled cheese on a marble platter no one cares about. & don't charge 6$ for a lemonade. That's insane.

Restaurant fantastique avec des produits de qualité! Le cubain toujours aussi bon, la salade #24 remplis de saveur, la salade de pomme de terre, une des meilleures que j'ai mangé & les cocktails maison WOW vraiment bon surtout le Tipsy Espresso. Merci à notre serveuse Julia pour un service attentionné & de rendre notre visite plus que agréable.

Beau restaurant, bonne ambiance. On a peut-être choisi les mauvais items sur le menu (brunch : poched egg & la frittata). Très déçue du rapport qualité-prix.
