Olive & Gourmando

We went for brunch. It was really crowded, and we ended up sitting on the stools, which was unfortunate. However, the food was good, and the service was terrific. I had a latte and a cheese scone. They were both great. My friend had their signature weekend plate. He loved it. Overall, I would recommend this place to a friend, and I would love it if they started a booking system

The food is fantastic at this busy little restaurant in the Old Port of Montreal. Be prepared for a short wait.for a table, even on a weekday, but it's worth it. The pastries are top notch, the fresh juice and iced tea are refreshing and the staff is efficient and friendly. Keep in mind they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Lovely place to people watch around the Old Port. I loved their soup of the day, and their sandwiches are fabulous and flavourful. 👌👌👌 You can take pastries to-go, as well, and they were fantastic way to finish off a meal. Just note that it can get busy here during the weekends, and might need to put your name down and wait to get your name called. Either way, highly recommend this place.

There is a lot of hype about this place but reality is that they fall very short of their PR. The place is crammed and you can reach out and touch a person sitter at another table from literally every table. The restaurant is very noisy. Service is very hurried and impersonal. The prices are NOT worth the quality. They charge premium pricing. For example, $10 for the very small, square scone with ham and cheese (probably less than 2"x2"). The cinnamon bun us $6 and it is very mediocre. They charged me for an extra cappuccino ($6 each) and I had to point it out so that they take it off my bill. Instead of an apology, I was told "well, we are human here"! Poor service. It was a rather disappointing experience.

We had a amazing experience! It was a super crowded place, had to wait for like 15-20 minutes but the experience we had was worth the wait! My friends and I ordered a couple of things: Spicy Poached Egg Panini, All Dressed Breakfast Brioche, Cappuccino, Mimosa and Raz Lemonade. Panini was really good and filling. The Brioche was extra sweet but we liked it anyways and the drinks were so good! Would definitely visit next time and highly recommend others to pay a visit as well.

Were a little intimidated by the line when we got there at 5 to 9 on a Saturday morning, but the wait wasn't too bad after all. We were sat in 15 mins. Among the weekend menu, the blueberry brioche one was truly excellent (would give six stars for this), but the scone sandwich and others were just okay esp. for their prices.

This place has amazing paninis that no one should miss! Since it’s first come first serve basis and they only operate dine-in on Tuesday, please plan ahead. Though I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who want to enjoy some quiet brunch time, as they are just too popular that there are always people waiting in line in and outside.

Went for breakfast early morning. The hostess was very kind, and checked the vaccination status promptly. We ordered coffees, croissants, and cheese sandwich. Cheese sandwich was the BEST sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Croissant was delicious too - go for the almond one my recommendation. Had to take a brownie to go because how could I leave without a takeaway bakery item :)
