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.

Loved the vibe here, cute & with a sense of humor. Great to catch up with friends or for a solo person grabbing food or getting work done. Will need to come back for their sandwiches but the chia pudding with their house granola was amazing

The banana bread matcha was excellent! Also really enjoyed the sweet ricotta with brioche.

Really lovely little spot that felt very welcoming with a friendly team. I ordered the banoffee French toast & it was really, really good! The ricotta so perfectly balanced the intense sweetness of the caramel & banana, & the crunch bits of seeds & nuts made the whole thing a textural joy. The coffee was pretty good as well, although not quite in the same league as the food ⭐?⭐?⭐?

This cafe is a must try if you are in Old Montreal. The staff were attentive & very kind, the decor was full of character & the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend trying the smashed potato salad. It was very fresh & full of flavour, great choice for anyone who is gluten-free or vegan!

This is was one of the best breakfast/brunch experiences I've had in Montréal or anywhere else. I had a really superior matcha latte & the eggo fuego sandwich minus the meat, which was hands down the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. In addition to using tasty basic ingredients, the combination of the buttery brioche with the piquant sauce & the rich egg & cheese were an absolute win. Friendly service topped it off nicely.

Delicious food - the salmon bowl was to die for & the iced matcha was delicious. My friends also loved their food & drink choices. The wait time is a little insane as we waited about an hour for a table. Service was not the best as well, our server made a mistake on our bill & then was upset & visibly annoyed when we corrected her. They also only have one washroom & it was gross & needed it to be cleaned.

Such a cute little gem in the middle of Old Port. Montreal is a city of eats & this place does not disappoint. Be sure to grab the ham & cheese sandwich.

Such a lovely brunch spot in a perfect location in Old Montreal. The menu is simple but still offers plenty of options for different tastes. The sweet ricotta was amazing & definitely a highlight. They also make excellent coffee & pastries, which makes it hard to go wrong with anything you order.

The atmosphere is cozy, the service is kind & attentive, & everything felt welcoming. We were very happy with our experience. They do not take reservations, so it can get quite busy depending on the day, but it is well worth the wait.

La nourriture est bonne mais chère pour une assiette sans accompagnement. A peine notre dernière bouchée avalée qu'on nous parle déjà d'addition. Bon mais trop cher pour des sandwichs sans accompagnement.

A place where time slows, coffee warms the hands, & the city softens into something intimate. Familiar, grounding, & quietly generous , like returning to a thought that always knows you.

Sandwich délicieux, mais 33.25$ (taxes & pourboire inclus) pour un grilled cheese... Je comprends maintenant pourquoi je ne vais plus au restaurant depuis quelques mois. Je ne retournerai plus.
