Review Summary

Olive et Gourmando comes across as a beloved, busy café in Old Montreal with a reputation for fresh pastries, coffee, and comforting sandwiches. Reviews highlight standout items like the Cuban and the chicken melt, the grilled cheese, and the mac and cheese, while many note a lively atmosphere and friendly service when not overwhelmed. The place is popular and operates on a first-come basis, with lines that can be long, and some value perceptions are mixed with prices described as high for certain dishes. Despite occasional glitches and crowded moments, the overall quality, creative twists on classics, and welcoming vibe keep people returning for brunch or lunch.

C'est au delà d'un établissement de restauration !
L'ambiance, l'accueil, les serveurs & le plus important... les produits !
Je suis très exigeant sur la nourriture, & là, j'ai été bluffé !
Un sans faute, tout était parfait.
Jusqu'au conseil de la bière pour accompagner mon (mes...) plats.
Une valeur sûre, un must go !
Merci à tous pour ce pur moment d'épicurie.

Charming & cozy little place. Food is excellent. I had the Cuban sandwich (spicy paninin)-so good! Love the spicy chipolte mayo. My Daughter had the big dog ans equally tasty. The strawberry 🍓 lemonade & house lemonade are homemade & very refreshing in this 🔥 weather. So good you won't be disappointed.

The fresh, house-made croissants here are incredible-different varieties, each unique & full of flavor. The wait can be a bit long, but it's absolutely worth it for such quality & taste. A must-try for any pastry lover!

Cliente de la première heure je faisais un retour chez O&G.

On m'a avisé qu'il y aurait possiblement 1 h d'attente (un samedi midi je ne m'attendais pas à autre chose) mais finalement en un peu moins d'une demi-heure nous étions attablés.

Sandwich poulet melt était très bon.
Le grilled cheese aussi quoique moins spectaculaire.

Carré citron 🍋 & carré framboise

Les prix sont maintenant exorbitants (très malheureusement) 25,95$ + taxes pour un sandwich sans aucun accompagnement.

Stopped here for lunch & it was quite busy so we sat on the bar. The pork cubano sandwich was delicious but it was also 30$ for just the panini sandwich.

We stopped by for breakfast, hoping to try their croissants & pains au chocolat. However, there was a long line, & we ended up waiting about 30 minutes. By the time we got a table, all the croissants & pains aux chocolat were sold out 😭😭 So, I ordered a fresh orange juice & a « croissant aux amandes » which was delicious. I absolutely loved it! 😋 The « house » also offered me a free cookie, & it was very yummy. A lovely experience!

Nice place but 25$ for a sandwich on its own is priced for tourists

Had a fantastic meal here & was amazed at the quality of the food. A very popular place so arriving at 9 meant we were waiting for about 20 minutes for a table. Once we got in, we loved the atmosphere - it's very aesthetic. The food was delicious & filling, & we would definitely come again!

O&G a toujours été une place de prédilection pour faire découvrir un endroit chouette à des amis. J'y suis allée avec ma fille & une amie ce samedi… & j'ai eu l'impression que le restaurant avait un autre propriétaire ou, en tout les cas, avait nettement changé la qualité qu'on y retrouvait avant. De plus, nous avons commandé des viennoiseries & biscuits & encore une fois, petits, peu goûteux & très décevant. Jadis, c'était les meilleures viennoiseries en ville.
J'espère que ce soit les vacances qui soient en cause ici, mais honnêtement, nous avons été, pour la première fois, déçues de notre expérience O&G.

Lieu très sympa pour manger un panini typique. Desserts & thé glacé maison délicieux ! Service rapide, table de change pour bébé disponible très appréciée! Nous nous sommes régalés ! Un must dans le vieux Montréal.

The place might looks cool but it is overcrowded & not organised & expecte yourself to wait for a long time for average coffee

Une institution à Montréal. Celui qui n'a pas essayé un Panini Cubain de chez Olive n'est pas un vrai montréalais. Si vous êtes chanceux, vous allez croisez une vedette Internationale de passage en ville. Se remplit très rapidement à l'heure du dîner. Soupes différentes chaque jour. Excellents desserts aussi.

Excellent place for breakfast. It is a bit of a hole in the wall as there are no other restaurants nearby. The atmosphere is very authentic with cute decor throughout.

We had the egg & salami burger, which is pretty good, & the kids grilled cheese sandwich, along with a croissant. The fresh baked pastries are very tasty. Note that these don't come with sides so you might need to order a bit more.

Make sure to go early as it gets later in the morning & you'll have to wait.

The two of us shared a Cuban sandwich, a smashed potato salad & a green salad. We were both very hungry since we skipped lunch but even after sharing everything, we left very full.

Everything we tried had the chef's touch. It was all cooked to perfection with such wonderful & fresh & unique flavors.

So glad we ate here! I had the grilled cheese & others in my party had salads. All delicious! Service was top notch.

We split a Cuban sandwich, which was delicious & perfect for a light lunch.

Espresso was pretty good. They use some good locally roasted coffee so they definitely try.

Sincèrement, j'ai quand même aimé. Très bonnes pâtisseries. Le menu & ses portions pourraient être plus grands, par contre, mais ce que j'ai commandé était bon. Le'sconewich', avec sa combinaison de jambon, cheddar & configure aux pêches, est excellent. J'en aurais mangé 2-3 de plus. 😅
