Olive et Gourmando, a fixture in Old Montreal since 1997, has mastered the art of comfort food with upscaled twists. Co-owners Dyan Solomon and Éric Girard have created a café that blends artisanal breads, rich pastries, and flavour-packed dishes that keep people coming back.
Popular items like the “poached egg on your face” panini or the house-made ricotta plate are available throughout the week, while weekend brunch highlights treats like brioche French toast with labneh and nut crumble. The space feels like a warm, inviting kitchen, with a cozy wooden interior and an irresistible pastry counter that’s always stocked.
