Olive et Gourmando est un café très apprécié dans le Vieux Montréal, connu pour son ambiance chaleureuse, ses pâtisseries fraîches et ses sandwiches réconfortants. Les avis évoquent notamment le cubain, le chicken melt, le grilled cheese et le mac and cheese, et louent l’atmosphère animée et un service agréable lorsque l’endroit n’est pas débordé. L’établissement, populaire et sans réservation, peut générer des files d’attente, et les prix sont parfois jugés élevés. Malgré des désagréments occasionnels et des périodes de forte affluence, la qualité des plats, l’originalité des associations et l’esprit convivial donnent envie de revenir pour le brunch ou le déjeuner.
The prices makes no sense!!! I ordered a soup which cost 20$ when you factor in the tip. To add insult to robbery, the bowl was only filled a little over half way. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she said it's always this way & just walked away with no empathy. If you go be ready to pay! 2 soups, a tea, a juice & one mac & cheese cost us $85!!! For lunch! Should have cost us with tax & tip included: Soup $15 Soup $15 Tea $7.50 Juice $7.50 Mac $25 Total: $70 At least 20% overpriced. Lucky my friend paid. I would not go there again.
Stepping into this cozy, modern café felt like a warm embrace & the food was the chefs kiss. I ordered the salted ricotta & butternut squash soup, & it was an unforgettable experience for my taste buds . The Salty ricotta, something I wouldn't typically choose, turned out to be a revelation-creamy & flavorful, & perfectly balanced with the bread & sweet salad mix. Pairing it with the butternut squash soup elevated the meal to one of the best I've had in Montréal. My partner, opted for a double portion of the kids' mac & cheese, (because he doesn't like mushrooms) & it was rich, cheesy, with the perfect amount of crisp. He declared it one of the best mac & cheeses he's ever tasted. I couldn't resist one of their dark chocolate cookies, which was everything a cookie should be: soft, rich, & satisfying. The service was warm & attentive, making the entire experience even more delightful.
Everything we had was wonderful. My husband had the grilled cheese & caramelized onion panini. It is all the things you love about onion soup on a toasted panini. The cinnamon bun may be the best I have ever had... light buttery & full of cinnamon but not too sweet.
9.1 out of 10. Beautiful people, beautiful location, great service & the cute server made me laugh & gave me a fun hard time. Food quality was AMAZING. Location AMAZING. Google maps brought me here & for breakfast I will be here every time I am here. We had the chicken melt sandwich & a grilled cheese.

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
We went for Sunday lunch in August & it was packed, but the line moved quickly so we only had to wait for about 15 minutes. The only bad thing was that it was pretty hot inside, but not too bad once we were seated & away from the windows at the entrance. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. We ate at some really nice places (including ones that were way way more expensive), but the food at Olive & Gourmand is what I'm still dreaming about. We got the Salty Ricotta & the Deluxe salad. Make sure to add the cheese on the salad. I am not a big salad person but that salad changed my life. & the combination of flavors in the Salty Ricotta was divine. We got a berry pie bar too & it was good. Shoutout to the host/maitre d' - Oshin? Not sure how to spell his name but he gave us some really good recommendations, handled the crowd waiting for tables very gracefully & patiently, & we loved watching him literally dance his way through the tables.
This place did great brunch, coffee pastries & more. The price of sandwiches ($25 for a grilled cheese) was quite steep. The hosts also need to calm down a bit with a bit of a diva attitude. I know your place is popular, but we are consumers & have choices. That being said, we had a great meal & the servers we had were lovely.

Cute restaurant for lunch & drinks. Good for kids that love grilled cheese sandwiches & pastries. The salmon bowl & chicken melt were delicious. Service was great.
Overall we came here because of somebody feed Phil & can't imagine how busy it would be during high season. We opted our order to go. The hosts were very kind & friendly. I had the Cuban. - amazing sandwich. Would I spend $27 good? Nah, but whatever. We are on vacation. Wife had the salad. - there was hardly any chicken which was a bummer. Maybe not the most gluten friendly restaurant. Kids had a grilled cheese. - they liked it. Quite small.
We arrived right before it opened & there was a small line up forming. We were seated & the staff began to take orders right away. Coffees & other drinks came out fairly quickly. We ordered the cuban sandwich & a sconewich. The cuban sandwich was so zesty & comforting. The pressed sandwich was definite my favourite. Great amount of cheese & meat & the sauce was a good complement. Sconewich was something new we tried, we will try to replicate it at home as it was a good combination.
After not coming here for about a year & a half, I was stunned to see the price of a grilled cheese! $26.95! Wow! If you're going to charge that it should be overflowing with cheese as always ! Not the case this time..1 salad 1 grilled cheese 2 cans of carbonated water 75$

Olive & Gourmando is a nice spot for breakfast & lunch. Despite being busy, the service was fast. We enjoyed our cappuccinos & almond croissants, which were delicious. The Cuban sandwich was a standout-packed with flavor & oozing with cheese. Overall, a great place for a tasty meal.
Appetizing presentation, inviting interior design. Busy as always. Open kitchen. Food is good, but pricey. Loved the smashed potato salad. Unique almond croissant shape ( texture was dry). Mac n cheese subpar.
De bons plats comme le bowl saumon que j'ai pris & qui vaut vraiment le coup si vous souhaitez manger une salade. Le mac & cheese aussi & coup de coeur pour la brioche à la cannelle qui était délicieuse. L'endroit est très mignon ambiance cosy garantie !
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.
