Olive et Gourmando

The food is good, but it's quite expensive. We got the Cuban and grilled cheese sandwiches, along with a cappuccino, and the total came out to $71 (including taxes and tip). Was it good? Yes. Was it $70 good? That's debatable. I'd go again for the grilled cheese and get a cappuccino elsewhere.

The potato salad had no business being that good!

A busy place. After having breakfast here we understood why. The food was quality made and really delicious. Service was great. Highly recommended, we look forward to returning next time we're in Montreal.

My experience here was excellent. I had the Cuban sandwich and the Mac N Cheese, both were excellent and the temperature of the food was perfect when brought to the table. I had the Chocolatine and it was okay, it may have been better if I had had it earlier in the morning when more fresh. The service was quick and friendly. This place can get quite busy, so plan to wait if you are visiting during a prime time. Our waiter was bilingual (English and French) as are most staff it seems!

When I was looking for breakfast spots during my visit to Montreal last year, Olive et Gourmando came up a lot. And just a few blocks walk from my hotel in Old Montreal, I had to give it a try. My sleep cycle was still a little messed up so I got there early before they opened, and ended up being first in line as people quickly began to que behind me. My timing was good as they quickly filled up the small space once they opened the doors. I tend to lean more savory for breakfast, but looking at their menu I couldn't resist a trip to the sweet side. The item that had caught my eye in my research, and featured in many reviews, was was called Sweet Ricotta. The description was housemade ricotta, honey, orange zest, Maldon salt. Served with brioche bread. Tourist priced at $17.95, but I had to give it a try. Overall I liked it, but I did have some notes. The ricotta was very tasty and paired well with the sticky honey as well as the orange zest, which was a definite flavour enhancer. My note would be the bread, which needed more of a toast and crunch. It was too bready for my liking, and so wasn't the vessel I wanted to transport the sweet ricotta to my belly. With better toasted bread though, this could be killer.

Un peu cher mais tres tres bon

Super service et très bon brunch. Le panini et le granola étaient remplis de saveurs. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre moment passé ici!

J'ai consommé un scone. Plutôt bon. Les autres plats semblaient très copieux mais gras. Ambiance de bistro français. Le paiement pose problème car contrairement aux autres restaurants, ils ne séparent pas les notes. Quand on doit payer ses trucs alors qu'il y a les taxes à ajouter et le pourboire (et rien que pour le bordel j'aurais donné moins), et bien ça nous a obligé à faire des calculs d'épicier. 6 amis, 6 factures.

I recently visited Olive et Gourmando and had a wonderful experience. The food and drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was inviting, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Olive et Gourmando for a cozy and enjoyable dining experience
