Reviews for Olive et Gourmando in Montréal, QC
I wanted the Poached Egg on Your Face, but it was spicy. So, our server recommended the O+G Grilled Cheese. I'm not a big fan of... the sandwich, but it was grilled to perfection. I washed down every bite with hot chocolate made from oat milk. (Our serveroffered several types of milk to choose from.) I left the eatery satisfied. I also suggest coming in early to avoid theline-up. It was crowded, and I had to wait outside for 20 minutes for a table. Read more
An amazing place for cafe food! A super popular brunch spot with friendly service and lots of delicious baked goods and food.... Their bread is so top notch and the "egg on your face" and Cuban sandwiches were absolutely incredible. A little greasy but thatmade them even better in my opinion. Be prepared to wait to get in, we waited around 20 minutes for 2 people on a Friday around1pm. Read more
I would guess this place is the best Breakfast or Brunch spot in Montreal. Fair warning it is BUSY - but this only adds to the... vibe and charm. Absolutely the best Potato Salad I have ever had, ever. Oh yah and pick up the cookbook if you can - has a fewgems from the menu within... P.S. we ate here two days in a row just because we couldn't believe how damn good the breakfastwas. P.P.S - don't go if you are looking for a bargain meal, its not a bargain but its worth every penny. Read more
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 isefficient and friendly. Keep in mind they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Read more
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 veryhurried 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 foran 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. Read more
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 thatit 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. Read more
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 signatureweekend plate. He loved it. Overall, I would recommend this place to a friend, and I would love it if they started a bookingsystem Read more
Line was long during lunch time but I got in right away as I was by myself and got seated immediately! Ordered the Cuban as I?m... a big fan of ?Somebody feed Phil? show. It?s the best Panini bread I?ve ever had. Crispy on the outside, warm and soft on theinside (chicken). The sandwich also has a nice spicy kick. To me the portion is decent and more than enough.
