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 loved the upbeat atmosphere of this place. Dispite how busy & crowded it was, it was still a great experience. The service was friendly, professional & welcoming. The pastries, more specifically; croissant, almond croissant & cinnamon brioche were so delicious! Perfect with a long espresso. I loved the look of the restaurant itself. Slightly pricey but great experience, so acceptable.
Good vibe overall. Loved the food from here. We had the salty ricotta salad & a chicken melt. Both were very nice. I would visit regularly if I lived in town. Seems like a favorite around town. Highly recommend the salty ricotta.
Appetizing presentation, inviting interior design. Busy as always. Open kitchen. Food is good, but pricey. Loved the smashed potato salad. Unique almond croissant shape ( texture was dry). Mac n cheese subpar.

The croissants here cost twice as much as the ones in the good bakeries. This place is not for the budget-oriented. Can't help but feel like I overpaid.
De bons plats comme le bowl saumon que j'ai pris & qui vaut vraiment le coup si vous souhaitez manger une salade. Le mac & cheese aussi & coup de coeur pour la brioche à la cannelle qui était délicieuse. L'endroit est très mignon ambiance cosy garantie !
This was one of the best (if not the best) dining experiences on our trip to Quebec. Cozy little cafe with amazing cubans, pastries, & loose leaf tea served out of a teapot. Very busy, but fast & friendly service. All around great experience!
Great pot for breakfast, coffee, & a pastry. We waited about 25 minutes on a busy weekend rainy morning for a table of four. We had the sconewich, sweet ricotta, coffee, & pastries. Everything was great. No complaints for service, everyone was busy & pleasant. Definitely worth a visit. We were told a table for two at that time would have been closer to a fifteen minute wait.
An absolute gem of a place! Wonderful fresh food - the soup was amazing, the cinnamon bun huge & tasty, & the salmon salad bowl wonderfully tasty. It was busy but the service was fast & efficient - would happily return!
Amazing place to get brunch. It is worth the wait if there is a line & the entire staff is attentive & friendly. Food & drinks are great. I would go back if staying in Montreal again.
