What guests say about Olive et Gourmando

Olive et Gourmando is highly appreciated for its sandwiches, brunches, pastries, and coffee, with several reviews highlighting the freshness and flavor of the food. The atmosphere is described as warm, cozy, and lively, and the service is often judged to be quick, attentive, and welcoming. However, several customers find it expensive for the portion sizes, and there can be a wait during peak hours. It is a good choice if you're looking for a tasty meal in a lively atmosphere, but less so if you want a quiet or affordable place.

The best French cafe in the northern western hemisphere. Give me a cappuccino and a warm butter croissant with fresh preserves and I'm in bliss.

their potato salad SLAPS. And everything else. Cute and cozy. Would suggest you try for a light ish meal. It’s a casual but nice environment in old port. Nice shop next door. They know their flavours for sure

The almond croissant wasn’t quite what I expected, but the atmosphere was cozy and had a very local vibe!

Genuinely the best panini I’ve ever had in my life. I was hesitating on getting the Cubain since I hate pickled things and cilantro, but it was the perfect little kick of it: not too overwhelming. The cheese and the pork were DELICIOUS and I would fly to Montréal again just to eat this.

We had a fantastic experience. One in our party couldn’t have sugar and they worked hard to accommodate her needs. The Reuben was amazing and the almond croissant was to die for.

A great, bustling place in Old Montreal for killer lunch time bites and a trendy, casual vibe. The Cubain panini and chicken melt 🥪 were incredibly tasty. We will definitely be back!

The food is fresh and delicious, their salmon bowl is the perfect blend of flavor. I went back for breakfast, their chia breakfast bowl had fresh fruit, their homemade granola and a little custard. Their coffee is good too, great location in Old Town Montreal, pretty setting. The staff is friendly, I was traveling on my own and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Stumbled upon Olive et Gourmando on a Sunday morning while exploring Old Montreal and I'm so glad I did — the line out the door was absolutely worth it. We grabbed a table just as the brunch rush was picking up and the croque monsieur was honestly one of the best I've ever had, perfectly crispy with just the right amount of melt. The staff were warm and patient even with the crowd, and the rustic exposed-brick space felt like something straight out of a Parisian café. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town from Vancouver.

Good food but overpriced. $26 plus tax and tip for a simple sandwich with no side (not even a pickle or handful of greens or potato chips) is excessive, even if it is tasty. Cozy interior, not the best place to bring a large group or big stroller.

Coffee/espresso was excellent. However staff were rude from the outset. Had some sort of egg sandwich that was disgusting and greasy. Given the price I'd expect much better.

Cute and cozy restaurant with A+ food. We ordered two raspberry lemonades for the kids, the french toast, grilled cheese, asian salad and the Egg on Your Face sandwich - all were delicious but the standout was the homemade ketchup that came with the grilled cheese. Outstanding!
