Mandy's

Visited for a weekday lunch in December. The salad was tasty enough but overall a disappointing experience, especially for somewhere with such a hyped up reputation. Service speed was glacial and it was at least half an hour before any of the food arrived. The taste was good but the balance was off as there was not enough dressing for the whole bowl. Several of the leafier salads seemed bulked out with leaves so that they were huge and couldn't be finished in a sitting but contained little of the more premium ingredients. Good concept but did not live up to expectations on this visit.

LOVELY atmosphere with delicious healthy food options and treats. Great vegetarian and vegan options too. Counter service for soups, salads, grain bowls, coffee and pastries and a quaint seating area. I hope to come back!

The atmosphere is the first thing that stands out, but right when you taste the food it steals the show. Everything was Very fresh and exceeded expectations. I’m not big on getting salads when eating out but this spot was insane. I got the duck which might be limited I believe it was amazing. They also offer to toss it (pause), which is a great plus that many spots should add.

The place is super instagrammable, it’s so cute, I felt like I was walking into a set. They serve all sorts of salad, any Vegan will be happy here. Service is good, recommendations were spot on. Food came in quickly, we were in a hurry and they helped us get the food on the table in no time. I heard that a Mandy’s Toronto will open up soon, I can’t wait!

Nice place to chat and hang out with friends. I ordered a smoothie and it’s around $12. I don’t usually order smoothie so it’s a little pricey to me, but it’s tasty and decent portion. I might come again for salad bowls one day.

Salad was fresh and delicious. The actual shop itself and eating spaces are beautifully decorated and very pleasant. Quick and efficient service.

I recently visited Mandy's and was captivated by the beautiful atmosphere of the restaurant. The trendy decor and cozy ambiance create a delightful dining experience. However, I didn't personally have a meal there, but I did sample a salad that my friend ordered, and it was absolutely delicious. The salad was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavors. The ingredients were of high quality, and the presentation was impeccable. Mandy's certainly knows how to create a satisfying and tasty salad that leaves you wanting more. However, I must admit that I found the prices to be quite steep. Paying $40 for a beer and a salad felt excessive, considering the portion size and the overall value for money. While I understand that quality ingredients and a pleasant atmosphere come at a cost, it would be great to see more reasonable pricing or additional value in the offerings. Despite the price concern, Mandy's undoubtedly has a lot to offer in terms of taste and ambiance. The attention to detail in their dishes is commendable, and the restaurant provides a pleasant setting for a casual meal or a gathering with friends.

Such a great spot for healthy food in Montreal. They have many gluten free options. We ended up getting salads which were a good size and very filling. Make sure to get the dressing because they are house made and takes the food to the next level! To drink we got smoothies. Our favourite one was the cherry which is made with real fruit. Overall lovely experience and I will be returning again.

Their salads are amazing and super filling! Definitely higher priced then other salad places- especially if you're getting takeout but worth every penny! This location is super quaint and has a very "fairytale" vibe. The service was friendly but sadly she charged and forgot to give me my cookie - I did take out so didn't realize until I was home that it wasn't in the bag. Oh well-I guess I didn't need a cookie

We were in town visiting from Nashville and stumbled across this place. The salads were sooo good. But my favorite? The cookies! We loved it so much we came back the next day. Kelly was also a highlight of our visit, so friendly and down to earth. Don't sleep on this place, such a good lunch location!

Amazing salad place. The decor is pink and very cute, it's filled with fresh flowers and very welcoming. We ordered 3 kinds of salads, and honestly all were great. I don't like salad in general, but this place changed my mind about it. Unlike salad bars stateside, the bowl was full and the dressing was light and flavorful. My favorite was the one with fake chicken, the balsamic based sauce was sweet and tangy, paired well with the mango bits and walnuts. The fake chicken was just like the real thing.

This is the perfect salad place. The decor is so cute and the food is so fresh. I warn you that the salads are so large that you will leave stuffed to the gills-in the best way. Outdoor seating on a nice day makes this place all the nicer. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. I recommend highly. Going back tomorrow to try another salad. They also have bowls. Just go already!

Tucked off the main drag this quaint french little gem offers amazing salads and bowls in a fresh garden like setting.

It was so nice to have fresh flavorful food after indulging in so many unhealthy treats all throughout vacation. I loved my salad and my husband enjoyed his chicken ramen bowl as well!

I ate at Mandy's twice in October 2022, while visiting Montréal for work. This is such a wonderful little place with really high-quality food. The two salads I tried (peanut satay and endless summer) were both excellent, with notably fresh and flavorful ingredients. (I added grilled chicken to each, fwiw) The portion size was also very generous. Service was so kind and attentive. I don't think there is anything negative about this place worth noting. For those who noticed the Kindle beside my salad bowl - I was reading Cloud Cuckoo Land. I wish I could experience that novel all over again, it is a contemporary masterpiece!!

Food is awesome. Good portions. Good ingredients. Price is a bit steep but it seems that way everywhere after COVID.

Loved the salad selection! You can chose your protein & get the salad dressed or drsg on the side. Order at the counter, get your # & have a seat; they will bring the food to you.

I can't stop coming back here for lunch. My favorite salad is the Endless summer -without pomegranate seeds as I don't like the texture. The mock chicken is really good but I prefer it on the side so it's not soggy and incorporate it into the salad as I go. The vegan cookies are chunky and moist and have a little bit of "raw cookie dough" feel to it. They are perfect.

overpriced and very poor quality. No sign of chicken whatsoever, we were told that it's because it's shredded therefore it's not visible. really!

Sweetest most down to earth employees with the best salads and smoothies I've ever had. They were so kind and the food was amazing

Are the salads expensive? Yes. Was it one of the best salads I've ever had? Absolute yes. If you're craving vegetables or just want something healthy, stop by Mandy's. You won't regret it. It's not a five star dining experience, and yes you may feel like you're overpaying, but I delighted in every bite and to this day I don't regret my dining experience there.

Excellent Mandy's location! Lots of seating in a gorgeous environment. We came around lunch and were pleased to see that there was no line. I ordered off the mvp menu (the spicy tuna salad 20.99). We sat and quickly received our meals. Service was quick and friendly. The salad is huge and was super fresh. A bit light on the dressing but I prefer that than overly dressed salads because you can always ask for more! It's expensive but high quality and perfect for the salad mood. Yum!

We had very good (and hearty) salads and smoothies here. The restaurant is also decorated very cute and is a little bit off the main tourist area so it's more manageable. It was nice to have some healthy food among all the (yummy, but not as good for you) vacation food!

My wife (the cardiac rehab nurse) waited several weeks to exact her revenge for my last poutine outing, dragging me kicking and screaming to a salad place for lunch. My expectations were low, even after entering a very nice looking, if somewhat overly feminine, dining space. The salad menu is huge and it took me several minutes to narrow my choice down to a Mexican salad with grilled chicken. Sigh, at least Brit & Chips is around the corner if this doesn't go well... Hmm, the salad was excellent! Lots of fresh ingredients and a clearly homemade and tasty vinaigrette. The salad was dressed perfectly with just the right amount of dressing, I honestly can't imagine getting a better salad experience. Fellow Yelpers, you know I'm not much of a salad eater, but in the interest of karmic balance I will try to eat one for every trip I make to the poutine place. And if I must eat salad, it will be at Mandy's.

Order at a counter with lots of options. It's easy as a tourist to end up eating a lot of heavy food. I really enjoyed having a big flavorful salad as a break. I also like how flexible they were. We tweaked a salad order to make it more kid-friendly and they accommodated happily.

Absolutely amazing place. Ambiance, food, service, speed, quality of ingredients, taste. I have been a vegan for over 10 years and this place is probably in the top 3 ever!! Awesome!

It's such a pretty place and the salads are to die for. It was so good; this was our favourite meal of the trip. We had the cour de couer and the sesame, both were absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly as well. It's a must go!

Very good salad place. With a variety of different options, I definitely recommend this place if you are a salad fan. They do have 3 options for kids salads but that's it. They have a few pastries but it's mainly delicious salad. I will say the chips aren't Mexican style chips, there more like Stacy's chips. It's is also a very good place to take pictures. It's very aesthetic!!

Eclectic and cozy hangout. Great spot to have lunch or grab a mid afternoon coffee and read your favourite book. Salads are huge and so flavourful. Highly recommend the Tokyo chopped salad.

Such a lovely place. Pinterest paradise!!!! Salads are amazing. When I went today it was still closed since we are still during the Covid shutdown of restaurants (so sad by the way) for restaurants and for foodies such has us! Please reopen them fast! Anyways, I was happy that it was open on a sunday night and that there was many clients. I will come back many times and can't wait for them to reopen.

When you possibly tire of Pizza and Poutine in this eclectic Old Port there is an excellent salad spot on Rue St Nick. I ordered the "Wolfe", full of goodies like kale, quinoa and so much more I dove deep to finish the large bowl. The only place I found that makes salad a complete meal. Also glad to hear no plastic is used and compostables are used as to go containers. Did you know some parts of Canada forbid food waste in the landfill?! Tres Bien!

Each one of their locations is beautiful but this one is spectacular ( the pictures don't do justice). Located in the heart of old port and very spacious which makes it very practical for lunch. The menu is extensive so there is a variety of items to pick from. I ordered a customized salad which really good! I also shared their cookie, truffle and brownie which was absolutely delicious! The service was wonderful and I will definitely be back. In the summer there is also a patio. If you're a local or visiting you must visit this location, you will thank me :-) Ps: congrats Mandy and Rebecca!

This has got to be the cutest place in Old Port! I absolutely love the decor, the vibe and the menu of course! I went there to pick up lunch for me and some coworkers but as soon as I got in I regretted we had to come back because the place is ADORABLE. I also love that they have a mini store section where you can wonder around while you wait for your food. The menu is amazing if you want to get something healthy but sttill creative and tasty. Their cookies are also really good! If you work around this area do yourself a favour and take your lunch break at this Mandy's. It's such a relaxing spot with all the plants and big space! The service is also really good, all the staff was super friendly and we all left thinking we should definnitely come back for an actual lunch at the place!

Great affordable salads and great service. The dressings are very flavorful and not too heavy. The duck in the hoisin duck salad was delicious and packed with flavor.

Mandy's is a stylish restaurant and store in Old Montreal specializing in salads and lighter food. However, we stopped in for dessert and their chocolate chip cookie is AMAZING! We walked away with two and have no regrets.

Amazing place to check out if you love eating salads with a gold fork in a chic & fun environment. If your looking for a cool Instagram photo, this is the place to come. I think everyone (including myself) had their phones out taking photos of their meals & the store itself. Its just too cute! I ordered "the fave" and the hubby had the lumberjack salad. While mine was light and tasty, I preferred his garlic-y dressing to my lime vinaigrette. Ordering can be a tad slow at the cash if you get stuck behind the wrong people, but once ordering, service is pretty quick, and we must have had our salads at least 5 minutes after ordering our meals. Will be back next time that I am in Montreal.

The Mexican bowl had some grit in it either due to spinach leaves or cilantro. Otherwise, the salad was very fresh, satisfying and tasty. I managed about half of it as I was at a work lunch but couldn't deal with the sand. So after my lunch guest left, I went back to the counter to explain the situation. They were more than happy to give me a credit to a free bowl of salad. So I went back the same week and claimed my free bowl. They were so cool to offer me any choice of salad bowl and recommended the most expensive salads, the QAISER SALAD ($18.99), even though I only had the humble Mexican bowl ($12.99). I've had the QAISER SALAD another time after that on my own dime because it's about as hearty as vegetarian salads can get! I love the savory mock Shish Taouk chicken. For that reason and that the salads are legit tasty, I'm a fan :)

They make a pretty good gourmet salad with a lot of options. The menu is stacked, there are a bunch of extras and you can tweak your dressing however you want. They also deserve a lot of credit for their mobile app so you can order ahead of time. Victime de leur propre succès, le temps d'attente peut être un peu long pour les walk-ins.

There is an art form to keeping it simple. We were definitely hungry, but did not want a heavy meal that was going to make us lethargic. Answer is Mandy's! So fresh and delicious, it is everything we were looking for. Some unique ingredients make a simple salad pop to life with excitement! Thank you for the pleasant surprise!

If the striped umbrellas, checkered floor, or plentiful plants weren't enough to convince me that Mandy's is spectacular (although let's be honest, that was enough), the incredibly personal and enthusiastic customer service will do it! The moment I walked into Mandy's, a lovely human greeted me and asked me if I'd been before and even showed me the menu, answered my questions, and recommended some salads for me. In the front of the store they sell salad dressings and loads of beverages and snack foods. LA CROIX FANS REJOICE: THEY SELL LA CROIX HERE I ordered the Mexi Salad with mock chicken. I believe it is mushroom based, or at least that's what my amateur veg taste buds told me. It was delicious!! They bring it to you and while you wait you are surrounded by cute table decor and a stunning view of old montreal. The salad was huge! I was super grateful for that because I'm the kind of girl who does not settle for small salads. #bigsalads #seinfeld I had a lovely experience and will definitely be back to try other salads. I was so impressed by the environment and friendliness of staff. It helped that the food was yummy as well! The holy trinity of a good restaurant experience! Also, I swear I don't usually do this, but I took a picture in the bathroom stall, because EVEN THE BATHROOMS ARE CUTE, DAMMIT!

Good, not great, salad but I would definitely visit again for a healthy option in the old port area

Mandy is exactly what I need in my life, big healthy fun salads! This place is all about the details... if you're big on a fun feminine ambiance than you will enjoy the look of Mandy's old port location. I ordered the Endless Summer salad, portion was huge and ingredients were fresh. I loved my salad so much that I purchased a copy of the Mandy's cookbook before I left so that I am able to recreate this healthy delicious meal at home!

Such a cute spot for a hearty bowl of salad. I dined alone and noticed others were also eating alone so it didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable as I had initially thought it might be. No one seemed to be rushing, they were just sitting and enjoying their salad. There was a nice relaxing vibe to this Mandy's location. There were some tables situated outside for anyone who wanted to enjoy the sunshine, but it was a bit too warm for my liking. I had walked by a different Mandy's location near the Bay earlier and it was a much smaller shop that had no indoor seating. The ambience and aesthetic of this location was elite. I would definitely come back again.

Had the family in here for dinner. Super fresh ingredients and interesting, original choices. I ordered the Seoul Bowl, which was very tasty and original. I really liked the sauce that came with it. It took a good taste and took it over the top. I'd highly recommend. My wife had the Mexican salad, which I'd also recommend. The romaine lettuce in this dish was very tasty, and I liked the cilantro/cumin vinaigrette dressing that came with it. The kids shared the lumberjack salad. To me, this one was seriously lacking in flavor. There just wasn't anything there that differentiates it from any other chain restaurant's salad. The Caesar dressing didn't do much for it, and it simply lacked a lot of flavor. But, overall, we had a great experience in a very pleasant environment. Additionally, the employees were very helpful and present. I'd go back.

Another great place in old montreal. This is there 4th location in montreal. Love the ambiance and lots of space. They are known for great juices and salads. The system is great, order at the cash and get a seat number. Sit and wait for ur meal :) the wait time was good and what makes this perfect is u don't wait for ur bill. Just leave when ur done! I like the decor and layout. I ordered the Superfood Salad served with a house dressing. The house dressing is amazing and the salad is packed with flavour. It's one of the more filling salads on the menu.. well as filling as salad can be ;) I had a lunch meeting there and apparently I wasn't the only one. So it's a great spot for a one one one business or friendly meeting. Defiantly going back...

Landed in Montreal yesterday, hungry and exhausted...my boyfriend found this place through a Yelp review and we started walking. It was a little far from our hotel, so I was crabby and complaining the whole walk over. We arrive, and it's an adorable place with super cute decor and a very friendly staff. I ordered rice noodles with peanut butter tempeh and Tamari sauce. Wow. Wow. And WOWWWW. It was so absolutely delicious that we're going back there RIGHT NOW. I can't get enough. My boyfriend's Lumberjack salad was gigantic and absolutely perfect! And the huge chocolate chip cookie I grabbed to save for dessert got devoured on the walk home...it was one of the best I've ever eaten. I wish I had a third thumb to rate this place THREE THUMBS UP!!

I don't often go to the old port these days, but I was there last weekend with my cousin and we were looking for a light lunch. And then I remembered that Mandy's had opened a new location in the area (thanks, La Presse!). The location is kind of hidden; I think there's still some renovation on the street and the sign wasn't super visible either. Once you get inside, you're hit with the wow factor of this place. It's really beautiful and photogenic. You can tell they've put a lot of thought into it. However, the salads are also worth it, in my opinion. I had the Habibi salad ($13.25). Filling and delicious. My cousin had the Tokyo salad ($12.75) and also enjoyed hers quite a bit. Attentive service. All in all, I had a really nice time here. But do expect to pay more than any other counter restaurant that serves salads.

I have been here twice now while in town for work. I went once at lunch and ordered a wonderful Mexican Salad and added roasted Chicken and then I went back for dinner and ordered a Thai Coconut Soup to go. Both were simply delicious.

Soooo cool. I don't want to be sexist but I'd say Mandy's is probably more feminine than male. I mean I would recommend it to my girl friends and maybe not so much to guys. The wifi password was UNICORN, you see? There are pretty flowers on the tables and the menu consists of countless healthy salads. I loved it all. Although... maybe the pink couch in the corner is a bit much ^^ The music is cool too and it's spacious so I felt comfortable staying much longer than I needed for finishing my soy latte a yummy choc chip cookie (which was served on a tile! Heavy but cool). I'll come again and report to you how I ate my way through the salad bowls.

We came across Mandy's while walking through the streets of Old Montreal. It's a lovely airy space with black and white checkered floor tiles, white washed beams and family photos decorating the walls. Friendly staff greets you at the ordering counter and your meal is brought to your table. Want a delicious salad? Mandy's is the place! A wide variety of green salad bowls and rice bowls are offered. We loved Mandy's.

Amazing! I wish I had this close to home! We got the Mexican and Habibi salad & for my 5 year old I got the brown rice bowl with beans and olive oil with tofu and broccoli. Absolutely perfect! No need to add anything to enhance any flavors! Who would've thought on vacation in Montreal staying at old Port I would be able to find a healthy vegetarian friendly place where the salad is really a meal? Usually this neighborhood is full of either very good upscale restaurants or tourist traps. Thank you Mandy's!

I've only been to the Mandy's on St. Catherine but this was a different level of cute, meets salad bar. It reminded me a lot of a breakfast at Tiffany's kind of feel. I felt underdressed! The menu at first isn't obvious since it's not listed in the back. I had to ask the server who handed us a menu. There was a variety of soups and salads. The wild sage salad was so good with goat cheese, figs, sweet potatoes as some of the ingredient. The price is not cheap but totally worth it for the environment. I still can't get over the fresh flowers. Such a cute date spot!!

Adorable little place with cute salads but it is a bit overpriced highly recommend getting Mandy's signature dressing

A fantastic spot for salad. They're Asian Salad is delicious and light, and it include avocado. Found this my first time and have gotten each time I've been back since. The atmosphere is great. Order and the counter, and dine in or take out. We prefer to dine in since the place is so quaint. Love it!

Been to this beautiful cafe twice. It's so so pretty and with the warm weather upon us, the little sidewalk set-up they have makes it even more enticing. The service is stellar and the staff is very knowledgeable about the menu. They give you a large helping of an endless selection salad. Reminds me of the giant California salads that I love. You definitely leave full and happy that you made a healthy meal choice. But the dressing on the ones I've had just doesn't make the mark for me. I will return, though. Because on my last visit, I was offered a sample of their mushroom "chicken." It was very tasty and you wouldn't even know it was not meat.

This place is a youth, hip place with a lot of energy during the lunch rush!!! The Teriyaki Bowl is AWESOME!!

Such a cute spot with delicious salads & bowls!! Great vegan options like mock chicken, tempeh, & tofu! Also, the adorable (dog friendly) patio is great! Only suggestion would be adding some vegan desserts:)

Super cute soup and salad place. Definitely perfect for brunch with some girlfriends! There is a cherry blossom tree in the middle of the restaurant where you can take cute photos with your friends and your food. There is also a station where you can serve yourself some water. Everything tasted really fresh and delicious. If you want something healthier and you are in Old Montreal, you should consider coming by here!
