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.
Do yourself a favour, if you are in Montreal make the journey to this place.
We were lucky enough to be staying a short walk away & thought we would try it out when we first arrived. It was really busy, which is always a good sign & we had to wait a while for a table. It was certainly worth the wait. The food was top quality, fresh & bursting with flavour. The staff were all friendly, bilingual & attentive. That is quite something when a place is so busy.
There is a good selection of food & drinks so everyone should find something. The pastries & coffee were also great.
This place has a reputation for a reason. It was so good we ended up having brunch here four times!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Olive & Gourmando, & it was an exceptional experience. The restaurant offers a cozy & inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing meal. I ordered the Chicken & Bok Choy sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. The combination of flavors was exquisite, & the bread was fresh & perfectly baked.
The highlight of my dining experience was undoubtedly the friendly & attentive service. The staff made sure we were well taken care of, making the meal even more enjoyable. The vibrant & lively ambiance added to the overall positive vibe of the restaurant.
I would highly recommend Olive & Gourmando for anyone looking for a delightful culinary experience in a charming setting. I rate my visit a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

Olive & Gourmando is an absolute gem in Montreal! The variety of pastries is impressive, & everything we tried was incredibly fresh & flavorful. From buttery croissants to unique sweet & savory options, each bite was a delight.
The ambiance is warm & cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or coffee break. The staff is friendly & welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the café.
It's definitely a busy place, & for good reason-the food & atmosphere are worth the wait. If you're in Montreal & looking for a top-notch café experience, Olive & Gourmando is a must-visit!
Warm & welcoming! The moment you enter the good aromas & friendly staff greet you. It's clean & well lit without being overly bright. Service was excellent. The food was excellent. I had the housemade ricotta with marmalade & delightfully light, perfectly toasted local bread. I spooned up every last bit. My friend had the Tex Mex Chili Frittata came with slided avocado, which was also incredible, & filling. Topped with fresh watercress & a side of soft warm bread. The barista was skilled. I enjoyed one of the best cups of hot chocolate ever! We have found our favourite Old Montreal breakfast haunt.
Olive & Gourmando in Montreal is a fantastic spot for a casual yet gourmet meal. The cozy, vibrant atmosphere makes it a great place for breakfast or lunch. Their fresh pastries & creative sandwiches are top-notch, with salads such as the salty ricotta & homemade pastries being standout items. The coffee is excellent, & the service is friendly, though it can get busy, so expect a wait during peak hours. Overall, a must-visit for anyone craving high-quality food with a relaxed vibe in Old Montreal.
My husband & I make this a sure stop each time we visit Montreal & each time we go, we are reminded why! The freshness, creativity, & pure deliciousness of their food never disappoints. While some might be sticker shy (it's an incredibly popular area), it's a must try at least once! The Elixir, potato salad, any French toast option, & Cuban panini are all so wonderful. & we are so excited to try some recipes out of the cookbook we purchased on our way out!
Convenient location to eat. Panini was great, salad was dry, lemonade was fine. Salad & toppings were not fresh, you could tell it was from 3-4 days old. Would recommend only if you don't have any option like what happened to us, but very expensive for what you get...

Delicious & fresh! Speedy service in a very bustling restaurant! If you are looking for a nice place to have long conversation, not the spot for you, but if you want something fresh, tasty & elevated cafe go here!
Sweet little cafe in Old Town Montreal. Nice selection of drinks, baked goods, & fresh food. I had the almond croissant, sweet ricotta, & a latte. All were delicious. The service is friendly & efficient. The atmosphere is nice but a bit tight.
This delightful & unpretentious place has truly delicious food. Fresh seasonal menu with thoughtfully made, flavorful dishes. Great service. A real winner all around!

Olive & Gourmando is a must visit in Montreal for its cozy ambiance & fantastic food. The place has a warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Even though there's often a bit of a wait to be seated, it's totally worth it. The staff is super friendly & attentive, making the whole experience even better. The food is fresh, flavorful, & served with a smile. If you're in Montreal, this spot is definitely one to check out!
This place is so good for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or for having some tea/coffee with some sweets. They get really busy at times, but the service is fast & everyone end up having a great time. We ordered "The Chicken Melt" & "The Cuban". Both were really fresh & delicious. We sat on the high chairs by the window & enjoyed the view of rue Notre Dame while having our lunch.
I went for breakfast/brunch as it is very popular in Montreal & usually filled with tourists. I personally did not like the breakfast menu at all - it wasn't particularly delicious & very basic. However, the food is fresh & very well presented. I do believe that you can find better breakfast/brunch in Montreal, & it isn't really worth it here. Nevertheless, I have heard more positive comments about their lunch menu, although it is quite pricey, I think the quality is there.
I went here in 2014 during a work conference. It was such a wonderful experience, my co-worker & I went back the next day. I can't even remember exactly what I had, but I remember it being incredibly fresh, delicious, & it clearly left me wanting to try all the other things on the menu. Awesome to see it's still open!

An absolute gem of a place! Wonderful fresh food - the soup was amazing, the cinnamon bun huge & tasty, & the salmon salad bowl wonderfully tasty. It was busy but the service was fast & efficient - would happily return!
Went there for breakfast. Very cute place! All tables are joined together so that 4 people sit together even if from different parties. We tried to wiggle our table further away but the server just slid it right back. We saw other people trying the same. No intimacy or private conversations allowed. Overall servers were either having a collectively bad morning, or the vibes are off as they looked angry & were inpatient. Food was good, but really expensive for the size. 7$ for a very small freshly squeezed orange juice.
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!
Don't miss going here if you're in Montreal lovely atmosphere. Even if you have to wait for a table which you will, just do it. There was 6 of us. We had to go back the next day again for a second round of French toast, it's to die for! so was the salmon salad & the toasted sandwich. The food is fresh, taste & delicious.The staff are so friendly & attentive so happy to help.
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.
