Review Summary

Across many visits, Olive et Gourmando comes across as a warm, bustling gem in Old Montreal, beloved for its pastries and crowd favorites like the Cuban sandwich and the grilled cheese. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, with charming decor and a sense that the place is a local staple, though lines and wait times can be long. The menu is creative and many dishes are described as delicious and well prepared, from mac and cheese with gnocchi and truffle tapenade to ricotta dishes and flaky croissants. Prices are frequently noted as high for the portions or for breakfast and lunch, with some praising the quality as worth it and others feeling the value does not match the cost. Service quality is described as friendly and attentive when not under pressure, but there are memories of slower service or less positive experiences during peak hours. Overall, the reviews present Olive et Gourmando as a must visit for a distinctive, flavorful brunch or pastry stop in Montreal, beloved for its warmth and standout pastries, while acknowledging it can be crowded and pricey.

This place is truly a gem! We adore Vieux Port & make it a point to enjoy at least one meal here at this eatery during every visit. The cinnamon rolls are absolutely divine, melt in your mouth divine, but the star of the show is the poached egg panini. Each bite had us oohing & aahing with delight. The atmosphere is small & relaxed, creating a casual vibe that we love. The staff are wonderful, adding to the overall experience. Although there's often a line, it's definitely worth the wait. We highly recommend this spot especially for breakfast!

Really nice place & vibe. For a Saturday the wait wasn't that long (25-30mins) to get a table. The service was great, the waitress/waiters were on point. I wanted to try the panini poach eggs as people say it's one of the best things on the menu, but honestly for the price, it wasn't all that. Could have gotten a panini somewhere else for 12-15$ & would have tasted better. The frittata that my friend took tasted much better. I think it's overpriced for what it is & the bathroom was not very clean. It had a strong piss smell, they should clean it better or more often especially 1 bathroom for all. I would recommend if you are willing to spend money, but a nice walk at the old port after is the cherry on top 👌🏽 Ps: they charge extra for almond milk?!? $1.25 for my hot coco)

Got here early this morning for breakfast from Halifax Nova Scotia. Loved the ambiance. We were entertained right away at the door. I particularly loved my black tea paired with their homemade almond croissants & the grilled cheese sandwich were NUM! You can tell the cheese they used are of superb quality. Highly recommend this place

Convenient location to eat. Panini was great, salad was dry, lemonade was fine. Salad & toppings were not fresh, you could tell it was from 3-4 days old. Would recommend only if you don't have any option like what happened to us, but very expensive for what you get...

The pastries at this place are simply perfect-whether it's the blueberry scones, triple chocolate biscuits, or the almond croissants, each bite is a delight. The coffee, especially the lattes & mocha lattes, pairs beautifully with the treats. We'll miss this spot so much! Highly recommended for anyone in the area.

J'y suis allé une quinzaine de fois dans ma vie & je n'ai jamais été déçu. Ma visite la plus récente était le 2024-08-05 & j'ai pris le Sandwich Cubain, une limonade & un brownie pour terminer. Tout était parfait, je donne 10/10 pour la nourriture. Il y avait un peu d'attente pour avoir une table, ce qui est pas mal toujours le cas. Je recommande fortement cet endroit, ça vaut la peine d'attendre qu'une table soit libérée.

Edit: came here again after a year & unfortunately the price is super high for worse quality imo. The drinks are so so, only the cuban sandwich is worth getting. - Recommended by our local friend! The cuban sandwich was by far the best panini ive ever had! The peach scone was also amazing, the place is busy & is a bit pricey though.

It was a cute place, I ordered the Cuban sandwich ( panini) it was good but not worth the price 30$ It's the usual Cuban sandwich recipe. Choose something else. The salad 24 was really good! Highly recommend!

This is a delightful restaurant in Montreal Old Town. Very friendly team, always super busy so arrive 30 mins before you want a table & get your name down. The salmon & rice salad was utterly divine, highly recommend, as well as the Chai Latte (iced).

Il faut faire la queue pour obtenir une table, mais chaque minute d'attente en vaut la peine. Très bonne cuisine, excellente ambiance de travail qui transmet de très bonnes vibrations aux convives, simplement spectaculaire. 100% recommandé. Merci!!!

Good vibe overall. Loved the food from here. We had the salty ricotta salad & a chicken melt. Both were very nice. I would visit regularly if I lived in town. Seems like a favorite around town. Highly recommend the salty ricotta.

Nourriture & vienoiserie excellentes !! Les sandwiches, le panini & les mac & cheese sont délicieux. Le kouinaman est excellent. La seule chose que je n'ai pas aimé, c'est le croissant au amande... hors de prix & pas de crème d'amande à l'intérieur. Plutôt secs pour un croissant au amande. Le reste je recommande chaudement! Prévoyez de l'attente cependant car il y a toujours du monde.
