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.
We came here because of a show on Netflix called Somebody Feed Phil. It's one of our favourites & we've actively tried to check off several of his recommendations from here to Italy! We had the Cubanos Sandwich & it was absolutely amazing! We were not however able to get a seat, make reservations or sit anywhere close to the location to eat our food as we had a baby stroller with us & it was lined up out the door. We had to wait in the street with a buzzer for about 30 mins & the two sandwiches alone cost us $52 before tip.
Excellent. We went twice in one week. Menu was curated with delicious options. Across both visits everything we tried was a hot. Our kids particularly loved the cinnamon roll & the yogurt & granola was 10/10. Brought a bag of granola home it was so good. Service was warm & welcoming & the space is charming.

New review yesterday:
Same waitress same attitude, they were cold & dismissive & we felt rushed, served me coffee with actual dirt swimming in it & around the mug. Lol.
Review of 5 months ago:
Brunette female waiter looked & acted like she didn't wanna be there, barely gave us any attention.

5/5 Eggo Fuego: I recommend getting the avocado on the side it is seasoned & I loved it with the sandwiche. The egg is perfect spongy & adds to the sauce for a nice savory crunch.
I loved the cozy atmosphere within old Montreal's European style section of the city.
Seeing no line outside at this renowned café, we jumped right in. The Parisian-style décor was unpretentious & inviting. The service was friendly & helpful. The famous sandwich'Le Cuban' with spicy mayo was delicious. The Canadiano coffee was rich & bold. Many options of viennoiseries available for grab-&-go.

My partner & I always visit Olive & Gourmando when we visit Montreal! The French toast is world class & always hits the spot. This season, we tried the blueberry & white chocolate version. It was delicious & the buckwheat added a nice crunch. I'd definitely recommend it for brunch. There was no wait for us but we did go at 2:00pm on a Friday 🙂
No wait for me as a single party on a weekday, although it was extremely crowded & busy. Loved the window seat in the sun. Fast & friendly service! It was a bit overpriced though. I got the'salty ricotta' & I feel like it was definitely not the most impressive item on the menu, but it was good enough I might want to come back to try other items (on my company's dime :P) not sure if I would come here if it was my own money.
J'ai pris le sandwich cubain & c'était bourré de sel … la salade verte etait bonne, mais pour un repas à 50$ avec tips pour un sandwich & une salade partagée je m'attendais à mieux!
Olive & Gourmando lives up to the hype with its welcoming atmosphere & top-notch service. From the moment you step in, the cozy ambiance & friendly staff make you feel right at home. The menu offers a great mix of creative & well-executed dishes, making it hard to choose just one.
After our first visit, we knew we had to come back, the experience was just as fantastic. It's no surprise this place is a local favorite!
