Dandy

"Wandering around the Old Port is definitely more fun when your walk ends at Dandy for brunch or a little day drinking. The menu transitions seamlessly from brunch to the afternoon, with ricotta pancakes and maple brown butter, tahini yogurt toast with muhammara, and a super-charged buttermilk fried chicken on brioche.  The high ceilings and huge windows flood the space with light, making it an ideal spot for a casual meetup—add on an espresso (or espresso martini) or a Canadian Bloody Caesar and settle in. You’ll probably have to wait for a table on the weekends, so we suggest stopping by on a weekday if you can." - ivy lerner frank, team infatuation

"With former Olive & Gourmando chef Michael Tozzi at the helm, this spot was bound to be great from the moment it came onto the scene in 2019. The chic, luminous space specializes in lunch and brunch, serving everything from buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches to ricotta pancakes, and stuffed pasta — with aplomb." - Eater Staff

"It was one taken by some of the area’s newest and most notable dining destinations, places like chic brunch restaurant Dandy, capacious fine dining venue Monarque, and waterside natural wine bar Tiers Paysage." - Valerie Silva
