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.
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!
This place is truly a gem! We adore Vieux Port & make it a point to enjoy at least one meal here at this eatery during every visit. The cinnamon rolls are absolutely divine, melt in your mouth divine, but the star of the show is the poached egg panini. Each bite had us oohing & aahing with delight. The atmosphere is small & relaxed, creating a casual vibe that we love. The staff are wonderful, adding to the overall experience. Although there's often a line, it's definitely worth the wait. We highly recommend this spot especially for breakfast!

Really nice place & vibe. For a Saturday the wait wasn't that long (25-30mins) to get a table. The service was great, the waitress/waiters were on point. I wanted to try the panini poach eggs as people say it's one of the best things on the menu, but honestly for the price, it wasn't all that. Could have gotten a panini somewhere else for 12-15$ & would have tasted better. The frittata that my friend took tasted much better. I think it's overpriced for what it is & the bathroom was not very clean. It had a strong piss smell, they should clean it better or more often especially 1 bathroom for all. I would recommend if you are willing to spend money, but a nice walk at the old port after is the cherry on top 👌🏽 Ps: they charge extra for almond milk?!? $1.25 for my hot coco)
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...
Petit café très cosy avec une très bonne brioche à la cannelle & des panini cubains originaux & très bons. Les serveurs sont super sympas & accueillants ! Excellent brunch
Edit: came here again after a year & unfortunately the price is super high for worse quality imo. The drinks are so so, only the cuban sandwich is worth getting. - Recommended by our local friend! The cuban sandwich was by far the best panini ive ever had! The peach scone was also amazing, the place is busy & is a bit pricey though.

Really cute little spot! We had breakfast here & it was delicious!!! My husband LOVED the cinnamon brioche & I got the egg on your face panini which was also super good!! We got a couple almond croissants to go & we must have gotten them on an off day because they weren't very good. They were pretty dry & didn't have much flavor. I'd definitely stick with the brioche!
The panini here is really good, it's the best I've ever had. The croissant wasn't warm & was a bit hard. Panini "Poached egg on your face" 5/5 The Cuban Panini 5/5 Almond Croissant 3/5 Chocolatine 3/5 Sweet Ricotta 3/5
Used to love this place, but I've come to realize that prices are out if hands. 26$ + taxes + tips for a panini (even though delicious) is very much exagerated. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, it feels like price gauging for tourists.
It was a cute place, I ordered the Cuban sandwich ( panini) it was good but not worth the price 30$ It's the usual Cuban sandwich recipe. Choose something else. The salad 24 was really good! Highly recommend!

65$ for two paninis is insane. They were good, place is very packed almost uncomfortable & you have to wait to get a place because it's such a hyped location. Cute place but won't go back because of the insane prices.
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.

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.
Amazing food!! A must try if you are visiting Montreal. I made sure to have brunch here both the times I was visiting the city. Absolutely try the Tex Mex baked egg & the Poached egg on your face panini. The Cuban sandwich was also good. The bakery products are great but the chocolate banana brioche is the star. The place is super popular & gets really packed & might have long waiting hours so try to go a little ahead of the peak hours.
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.
