Franchise toasted is my favorite
Salmon + Rice Bowl was incredible and all the other food was excellent too
Food is amaaazing. Loved the croissants, the french toast was one of the best i’ve had, so was the yogurt-bowl. And the salted and sweet ricotta was sooo fresh. The staff was soo sweet.

Olive et Gourmando is a popular restaurant in Old Montréal, known for its pastries and coffee. This cozy small restaurant serves only breakfast and lunch, offering a small breakfast menu that includes unique options like potato salad. The Cuban sandwich is highly recommended, with many finding it delicious, although some feel it has too much cheese. The brioche bun with cinnamon and the French toast are also tasty choices. The bakery offers outstanding pastries, including croissants and lemon pistachio squares, which many customers love. The almond croissant is noted for being particularly enjoyable.
The atmosphere is cute, lively, and busy, making it a great spot for coffee drinks and pastries. Customers appreciate the relaxing classic reggae playlist that adds to the cozy vibe. Service is friendly and efficient, with staff speaking both English and French. There are various indoor seating options and takeout is available. The restaurant features its own cookbook with illustrations that enhance its welcoming feel. The menu is rich and varied, with options like the 24-hour salad that has many fun toppings and a peanuty dressing on the side. While some visitors mention that buns and pastries might arrive cold or at room temperature, most find the food consistently good. The coffee is often praised as the best in Montreal, and many enjoy the warmth of the food and the smell of fresh bread. It is a place worth visiting, especially early in the day to avoid lines.
