Stumbled upon Olive & Gourmando on a Sunday morning while exploring Old Montreal & I'm so glad I did - the line out the door was absolutely worth it. We grabbed a table just as the brunch rush was picking up & the croque monsieur was honestly one of the best I've ever had, perfectly crispy with just the right amount of melt. The staff were warm & patient even with the crowd, & the rustic exposed-brick space felt like something straight out of a Parisian café. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town from Vancouver.

Le lieu est particulièrement achalandé, & on m'a dit que ce n'était pas une journée typique de rush (!) Autrement j'ai tenté le sandwich végane 3.0 & avec mes collègues nous avons mangé dans un parc pas très loin. Bien mieux que de se sentir comme quelqu'un de trop dans cet espace/circulation restreint! Le sandwich était bon par contre, mais il y avait définitivement beaucoup trop de mayonnaise. Je devais l'essuyer régulièrement parce que ça sortait de tous les côtés.

Cute & cozy restaurant with A+ food. We ordered two raspberry lemonades for the kids, the french toast, grilled cheese, asian salad & the Egg on Your Face sandwich - all were delicious but the standout was the homemade ketchup that came with the grilled cheese. Outstanding!

Un superbe endroit !! À peine arrivés à Montréal, on est tombés sous le charme de ce café. Le personnel est adorable, aux petits soins. & le petit dej??? Un bonheur.! Trop trop bons, les produits sont frais, gourmands & copieux.

Foncez, vous ne serez pas déçus 😋

Good food but overpriced. $26 plus tax & tip for a simple sandwich with no side (not even a pickle or handful of greens or potato chips) is excessive, even if it is tasty. Cozy interior, not the best place to bring a large group or big stroller.

Coffee/espresso was excellent. However staff were rude from the outset. Had some sort of egg sandwich that was disgusting & greasy. Given the price I'd expect much better.
