One word: go. Typically I don't like taking travel book recos, but Olive & Gourmando seemed to rank high on all the main sites like Fodor's. (Normally I'm a Lonely Planet or Rough Guide user for comparison.) This is THE breakfast, brunch and lunch place in Vieux Montreal, so be prepared to wait, although you can get takeaway coffee and pastries while you do so. Small eclectic interior with close tables makes for a cozy experience. We had Le Cubian and "poached egg on your face" sandwiches; both great however I felt the winner with the latter egg sandwich--mildly spicy and so flavorful! Surprisingly the coffee was just okay; we had traditional so would recommend trying their espresso selections. Appreciated that most things on the menu are locally and organically grown. Highly recommend!
