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 food is good, but it's quite expensive. We got the Cuban & grilled cheese sandwiches, along with a cappuccino, & the total came out to $71 (including taxes & tip). Was it good? Yes. Was it $70 good? That's debatable. I'd go again for the grilled cheese & get a cappuccino elsewhere.
My experience here was excellent. I had the Cuban sandwich & the Mac N Cheese, both were excellent & the temperature of the food was perfect when brought to the table. I had the Chocolatine & it was okay, it may have been better if I had had it earlier in the morning when more fresh. The service was quick & friendly. This place can get quite busy, so plan to wait if you are visiting during a prime time. Our waiter was bilingual (English & French) as are most staff it seems!

We had a cozy & pleasant experience at O-G. I've tried sconewich, which was phenomenal! The scone, cheese, ham, all fresh. Especially the apricot jam was complementing the taste in a well balanced way. We tried their panini sandwiches as well, delicious!! Definitely will come back! Only warning is that careful with the extra eggs, they come refrigerated, if you don't like cold eggs.
Best Mac & cheese & potato salad I've ever had in my entire life. Worth the +1 hour wait time. You need to go in to ask yourself to be noted down in the waiting list. Would absolutely return here despite our waiter being rude/weird to us. The food is worth it.
La nourriture était excellente, mais j'ai pris le Mac'n cheese à 19,99 $ & on m'a chargé 28,50 $ + tx. Quand j'ai mentionné à la serveuse que le prix était erroné, elle n'a pas voulu le changer en disant que la salade n'était pas incluse dans le prix. Je n'avais pas demandé de salade.

Olive & Gourmando truly impresses with their "Pouched Egg on Your Face" panini. The combination of freshly baked, fragrant, & crispy bread, filled with egg, cheese, & tomato, with a hint of spiciness, paired with a cappuccino, is undoubtedly a delightful remedy to conquer the morning blues.
If you could say the perfect cafe/restaurant...this would be it. Everything was great. The potato salad was absolutely delicious, probably the best I've ever had. Grilled cheese was yummy & the chicken melt was great too!
Great place for a croissant, grilled cheese, & a coffee. Amazing atmosphere with friendly service. Get in early as the line can go out the door. Don't forget to check out their store next door.
Delicious grilled cheese & smashed potato salad, huge portions! Friendly staff & great atmosphere. Recommended by a friend, glad we had a chance to visit.

Very very overhyped restaurant. Food is very basic for the money they charge. Nothing stood out. The poached egg panini is saddest panini I ever had. No flavour, mostly just bread which is not even soft & barely any filling. The OG cheese sandwich was also nothing to write home about. Overpriced & basic food.
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 !!!
