Dans l'ensemble, les avis décrivent Olive et Gourmando comme une adresse incontournable du Vieux Montréal, réputée pour son ambiance chaleureuse et sa clientèle variée, locale comme touristique. Le cadre cosy et vivant, les pastries ultra frais et les plats simples mais travaillés, notamment les grilled cheese croustillants, le sconewich, les sandwiches cubains et les options brunch, reviennent régulièrement comme des coups de coeur: tout est frais, les saveurs bien équilibrées et les portions généreuses selon les témoins. Le café et les boissons chaudes sont souvent salués, avec les viennoiseries et les pâtisseries qui se distinguent. Toutefois, le ratio qualité-prix est parfois contesté, certains évoquant des tarifs élevés et des portions qui peuvent sembler modestes, et d'autres pointant des expériences de service inégal selon les moments et la file d'attente. Malgré ces réserves, l'endroit reste perçu comme une expérience gourmande et conviviale à ne pas manquer pour un petit-déjeuner ou un déjeuner animé au cœur du quartier historique.
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.

Bustling, but with quick turnover & not that much of a wait for us in a Sunday morning. 20 minutes maybe. The excellent staff run a right ship here, & the service & food are both of the highest quality. Hot sandwiches are where the menu shines for me, & although 8CAD for an orange juice is a lot, it's good. Anyway this place was good enough for Phil Rosenthal on Netflix, so if I can't convince you, listen to him.
Olive & Gourmando have been in the western end of Old Montreal for over two decades. When they started, the neighbourhood was a wasteland & the only reason to go there was to eat their delicious sandwiches, brioches, & other delights. Now it's a hip part of town, in no small part because of O & G, & they still make delicious food, have great staff, & a wonderful atmosphere.
The ambience is really nice, good vibe but it's be try pricey for what it is. I ordered a fuego fuego sandwich & I don't know how is this like 25$ , however the French toast was delicious. I recommend this place only for a quick grab & go .. coffee & maybe a pastry.. not really for brunch

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.
Endroit très courus (40 min d'attente a 14h) dans le vieux Montréal mais veritable havre de gourmandise & d'élégance. Le service est très aimable & professionnel. Les plats font preuve d'originalité (brunch/sandwich/patisseries) & témoignent d'une maîtrise culinaire certaine.
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.
The 25 minute wait was worth it & exactly the amount of time they quoted! Great atmosphere with perfect sound level & music. Ricotta toast was perfect balance of sweet & savory. Cuban panini bread was incredible & the sandwich had a nice spicy kick! Will definitely be back.

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
There is a wait time depending on what time you are visiting . We are here today on a Sunday at 1.20 pm & we had 20 minutes for for hour for our party of 3. Bakery items are good in taste . The sweet re it's with bread was nice . Also the chicken melt sandwich was good but not Healy thought. We liked the chia bowl & cappuccino. The spot is a nice small spot for breakfast
A landmark of Old Montreal, this restaurant is very busy & serves pastries, sandwiches, & desserts. While I think the pastries are merely nondescript, rhetorical decor is very ambient. Lots of cut little knickknacks to peer at. The place is usually bustling with locals & tourists, usually with a line winding all the way out the door. If you are just taking out, don't follow the line. That's for people with reservations or waiting for a table. There is also a little gift shop next door to it. I mean, if you are in the area & want to check out the buzz, sure come in for a quick bite. But come out of your way? I think there are better bistros in the neighborhood.

J'y suis allé une quinzaine de fois dans ma vie & je n'ai jamais été déçu. Ma visite la plus récente était le 2024-08-05 & j'ai pris le Sandwich Cubain, une limonade & un brownie pour terminer. Tout était parfait, je donne 10/10 pour la nourriture. Il y avait un peu d'attente pour avoir une table, ce qui est pas mal toujours le cas. Je recommande fortement cet endroit, ça vaut la peine d'attendre qu'une table soit libérée.
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.
