Olive et Gourmando

October 12, 2025

Met up with a friend to have breakfast here on my second day visiting Montreal. Sunday morning was packed with a line up out the door. Luckily the 2 of us sat at the bar as we were instantly ushered inside. Service was friendly and efficient. The vibe though! Such a lively atmosphere with a nice view of the open kitchen area. Food was super tasty and the coffee was gourmet. The price was on the higher end but it was smack in the middle of downtown so I get it. Highly recommended!

If you're a fan of brunch spots in Montreal, Olive + Gourmando is the place you should definitely check out. I've been visiting Montreal every year, and this spot has become a personal favorite for a reason! The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with an inviting atmosphere that’s as warm and charming as their service. The customer service is outstanding, truly top-tier. The staff is not only friendly but also super efficient—there's never a long wait, and everything flows so smoothly. It's clear they care about giving you a great experience. As for the food? Absolutely amazing. The menu is a dream come true for brunch lovers. Whether you're in the mood for something savory or sweet, they’ve got you covered with dishes that are both fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the Cuban sandwich and their almond croissant. They’ve mastered the art of balancing flavors while making each dish feel comforting and indulgent without being overwhelming. I haven’t had the chance to visit this year, but as soon as I’m back in Montreal, Olive + Gourmando will be my first stop. It's more than just a meal—it’s an experience. Can’t wait to dive into their mouthwatering dishes again, sip on a freshly brewed coffee, and enjoy that cozy, bustling vibe. Every visit feels like a treat, and I know the next one will be no different!

It really was worth the 30 minute wait. Everything was great. The baked eggs were very flavorful, my friend loved the peach french toast (a weekend special), the sconewich was so good I ended up coming here the next day to grab 2 to go. The blueberry muffin was fluffy, moist, and not too sweet. They nailed the flavors and everything was cooked to perfection, it’s no wonder it’s one of the top breakfast/brunch spots in Montreal.

This spot came highly recommended by several people, so it was at the top of my must-visit list in Montreal. I’m so glad I went because Olive et Gourmando ended up being the best place I ate during my trip. The atmosphere is warm and lively, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the Tex-Mex (or maybe Mexican) breakfast option, and it was honestly the best breakfast I’ve had in years. I also ordered the fresh orange juice, and it was so, so, so good. I’m still thinking about it. I arrived around 11 AM on a Friday in July and had to wait about 30 minutes, but it wasn’t a big deal. There’s a really cool tattoo and jewellery shop right across the street that made the wait fly by. If I ever return to Montreal, I’ll definitely be coming back here. Highly recommend!

Excellent place for breakfast. It is a bit of a hole in the wall as there are no other restaurants nearby. The atmosphere is very authentic with cute decor throughout. We had the egg and salami burger, which is pretty good, and the kids grilled cheese sandwich, along with a croissant. The fresh baked pastries are very tasty. Note that these don't come with sides so you might need to order a bit more. Make sure to go early as it gets later in the morning and you'll have to wait.
