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.
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.
Brought a friend to experience O+G. He had an americano which he loved & I had a chai latte. Very dissatisfied- tasted like steam milk with a coating of nutmeg on the top. Then for breakfast had the granola which was heavenly & my partner had a panini that could have easily been shared, was great size.
Food was ok, though overly rich. The waiter seemed annoyed/grumpy & I can get feeling harried as this place is BUSY. The ambiance looks like everything was bought at a Home Sense. There's a sign that says "Eat". Might as well have a "Live Love Laugh" sign while you're at it.

"J'ai dégusté un panini cubain absolument délicieux dans ce restaurant. Très savoureux, bien cheesy, avec une belle explosion de saveurs à chaque bouchée. La portion était généreuse, donc parfait pour les gourmands ! En plus de la qualité des plats, le lieu est superbe, avec une ambiance agréable. Le service était tout simplement impeccable, rapide & attentionné. Je recommande vivement !
One of the best brunch places in Montreal!! I've tried almost their whole menu & have never been disappointed. The baked goods are also great! It is a bit overpriced tho...
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!
The breakfast was delicious, but the customer service left a lot to be desired. I asked about a lost item, & despite some initial discussion among the staff, I didn't get a clear response until I asked a second time. Even then, they told me their colleague was too busy & that nothing had been found-without making any effort to check. It was an unfortunate experience that overshadowed the otherwise good food.
Don't Forget Your Almond Croissant. This quaint little spot always seemed to be hoppin'. A bit of a wait if you try to go for brunch on the weekend, but worth it. There are a variety of delicious pastries as soon as you walk in the door & a larger menu if looking for sit-down breakfast or lunch. The espresso was flavourful but inconsistent each time we stopped in for it. The whipped ricotta with orange honey & toast was quite nice, but make sure to order something that will help cut through that sweetness (like a coffee). Our favourite item happened to be the almond croissant. Something we went back for multiple times. You could taste the real butter as the flakey layers of almond deliciousness melted in your mouth. Oh how I wish I had one right now.
