Olive et Gourmando est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable du Vieux Montréal, célèbre pour ses viennoiseries de grande qualité, son excellent café et ses sandwichs créatifs comme le Cubain et divers paninis. Bien que de nombreux visiteurs louent l'ambiance chaleureuse et bohème ainsi que le service amical, l'expérience est souvent marquée par une forte affluence et des temps d'attente inévitables en raison de sa popularité. Si certains clients trouvent les prix élevés et les places limitées, la majorité s'accorde à dire que la fraîcheur, la saveur des plats et l'atmosphère unique de ce café en font une adresse remarquable qui vaut largement le détour pour le déjeuner ou le brunch.
This was literally the best breakfast I've ever had in my life. The panini was fantastic. I'm going to be in Montreal again in August for just one day & this will be the highlight of my trip. Also got some raisin toast, which was also wonderful.
Food is good. Service is good. The cuban sandwhich was very good. Only down is the price, 25$ for a panini is on the pricier side, including the grilled cheese.
The potato salad too is very good, again it's on the pricier side but overall the flavors were all very good.

TLDR: if you come, split a panini & get something else lighter like a salad. Great pastries. (4.5/5)
Ordered the Cubaine & Mr Miami paninis & a butter croissant. All were delicious but the paninis are excessively oily. The first 3/4 of the panini were absolute heaven, but the last quarter felt like a chore due to the oil-covered bread.
Also of note is the wait times. If you come at peak time, expect waiting for more than 30 minutes. Limited seating but you can do take out.
Way Overpriced & very poor service. The restaurant looks good inside but panini/sandwiches are extremely underwhelming. 26$ each with nothing else. Tips automatically included if more than 4 people. We told them there were bread crumbs on our chairs but instead of taking care of it the waitress gave us napkins for us to do it ourselves. This restaurant is what is 100% wrong with tipping culture. Because they know they can automatically charge 18%, they do not give a damn about providing a minimum service. To avoid, mcdonald would provide a better experience.
Genuinely the best panini I've ever had in my life. I was hesitating on getting the Cubain since I hate pickled things & cilantro, but it was the perfect little kick of it: not too overwhelming. The cheese & the pork were DELICIOUS & I would fly to Montréal again just to eat this.
A great, bustling place in Old Montreal for killer lunch time bites & a trendy, casual vibe. The Cubain panini & chicken melt 🥪 were incredibly tasty. We will definitely be back!
A bit disappointed. Grill cheese used to be an experience. Now the filling is still very good but the bread is ordinary. More like a panini bread barely grilled. For 25$, I expect better.
Phil Rosenthal (Somebody Feed Phil) visted here, so it was on our'must visit' list for our trip to Old Montreal.
Food quality & taste were beyond our expectations. Service was excellent. It was very busy when we arrived, but we were told it would only be a 10 minute wait. We sat outside on a bench, & waited to be called.
I admired the ambiance as we were shown to our table. It was full, & noisy, but so much that we couldn't talk to each other. Bonus points for whoever designed the sound system that played 80s music during our visit. Enough speakers to fill the room with sound, & the system didn't need to played loud to be enjoyed.
Coffee was superb. Just the right strength, with lovely notes of chocolate. I had the chicken melt, which was incredible. Real chicken pieces, sauce with a touch of heat, & toppings with just the right amount of savoury. Her panini was equally good. The star of the meal was the french roast. Heated all the way through, with the right balance of fruit, cheese, & syrop.
