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.
Charming place in Old Montreal with delicious cuisine, good coffee, friendly staff & excellent service. Definitely a place worth to come back again & again.
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.

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.
Stopped in for a Latte & some of their famous food. We happened upon a special for their French Toast. It was Fabulous. We originally saw the restaurant on "Somebody Feed Phil" & literally stumbled into the restaurant by accident. Best accident ever!!! We will be back!
The prices makes no sense!!! I ordered a soup which cost 20$ when you factor in the tip. To add insult to robbery, the bowl was only filled a little over half way. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she said it's always this way & just walked away with no empathy. If you go be ready to pay! 2 soups, a tea, a juice & one mac & cheese cost us $85!!! For lunch! Should have cost us with tax & tip included: Soup $15 Soup $15 Tea $7.50 Juice $7.50 Mac $25 Total: $70 At least 20% overpriced. Lucky my friend paid. I would not go there again.
There was an excellent selection of pastries, & they were wonderful. I believe Olive & Gourmando may be the best French-style/Parisian pastry you can get in Canada. With that said, get ready to wait in line!!!
We arrived as 3 people waited outside to have multiple people push past us, there is no indication of needing to reserve tables on the site etc… the room is VERY crampt, & they were out of most products & the server came 2x only, at the start & at the end, if we had needed anything we would have been left high & dry. It's unfortunate because there's a lot of potential. The chia granola bowl was NOT good. Salty, & lacked general flavour, felt like eating grool.
The fruit & yogurt granola was great, good coffee. Loved the vibe, butter croissant was great too. Highly recommend. Great spot for breakfast/brunch if you are visiting Montreal & staying at one of the nearby hotels
Endroit fort sympathique pour le brunch du dimanche. On y va en petit comité puisque l'endroit n'est pas très grand, mais très chaleureux. Clientèle touristique & locale s'y mêlent dans une ambiance café-resto dès plus agréable.
