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.

Olive & Gourmando quickly became our favorite brunch/lunch place while visiting Montreal. It has a great vibe, good service & delicious food. We enjoyed the Cuban, Sweet Ricotta, Egg in Your Face, the Deluxe Salad & Almond Croissant. We highly recommend! Enjoy.

Their food & desserts are delicious, & I highly recommend them. The only downside is that the place can be crowded, but that's to be expected since it's so popular.

The Cuban Sandwich was INCREDIBLE. The "Extraordinary Brownie" lived up to its name. There was a 45 mins wait around Sunday lunchtime, so we ordered takeaway & ate in a nearby park. I would recommend you do the same.

Superbe cadre, superbe ambiance & tip top bouffe !
Les sandwichs sont un régal, les plats & les desserts aussi sans oublier le mac n' cheese, inédit, j'en rêve parfois, (pathétique...) Tout est cohérent dans ce petit resto qui se veut granola branché. La bouffe, le service, l'ambiance & le cadre en fait un must du vieux port que je vante sans regrets. En vrai fan, malgré le bruit, le "tasse-toi je veux ta place" à certains pics de la journée, la fraicheur des produits, le mariage des gôuts (pourtant que du simple...) & l'énergie qui s'en dégage nous pousse à revenir. Je le recommande fortement !!!
