Les avis sur Le Speakeasy dessinent une expérience globalement remarquable, avec un service attentif et des serveurs qui maîtrisent leurs produits, des plats et des cocktails goûteux et bien présentés et une offre de vins d'importation qui vient compléter le voyage; l'ambiance singulière du lieu, la décoration et les ateliers de mixologie dans une cave historique renforcent le côté speakeasy et séduisent les visiteurs; les portions généreuses et un bon rapport qualité-prix sont souvent mentionnées, tout comme la créativité des cocktails et le soin apporté à la présentation; certains critiques notent des aspects à améliorer, tels que des temps d'attente entre les plats, quelques erreurs de commande et une expérience de service parfois imparfaite, ainsi que des boissons un peu chères; malgré ces points, l'ensemble est perçu comme une belle découverte et une adresse à tester et à revisiter, où l'expérience culinaire et l'ambiance conviviale restent les points forts.
Première expérience dans un resto-bar caché ! Wow! J'adore découvrir de beaux endroits où l'on déguste une cuisine surprenante ! Bravo à toute l'équipe !
Nice time for our final visit of the evening. Had a few drinks (all delicious) & 2 rounds of bruschetta & focaccia which hit the spot! The speakeasy is closed in December I guess (not sure when else) so we just sat at the ba

It was so good. I rarely give reviews online, but this was definitely worth it. Everything was great & the food was so flavorful. The only thing, I would have appreciated if the server did a last call at our table & asked if we wanted something else before closing the kitchen (like most places do for food & bar) because I would have ordered dessert before the kitchen closed...I was celebrating a birthday. Otherwise, everything was good.
We visited Vandale Speakeasy & were really impressed by the food - everything we ordered was delicious, well-prepared, & beautifully presented. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the kitchen. Our share plates arrived before our tasting plates & utensils, which made things a bit awkward. Our food even showed up before our drinks, despite the bar being fairly empty (we were told the bartender was backed up). Water glasses went unfilled all night, & there were long waits between each of the three courses.
What stood out most, however, was the nonchalant attitude of both our server & the bartender. There didn't seem to be much urgency or attentiveness, which dampened what could have been an otherwise fantastic dining experience. Honestly, it makes sense the place was empty on a Friday night.
The food alone makes Vandale worth a visit, but we hope the service catches up to the level of the kitchen.
Hidden gem in Montreal! Stopped in for the Atelier Mixology class in the basement of this restaurant (which was equally amazing). Had a drink at the bar before we started - absolutely delicious. The barman was kind, funny, & made the best drinks. These were not just generic beverages but rather artfully crafted, highly complex drinks. After the class, we decided to stay for dinner as it smelled SO good coming back up the stairs. We all opted for the 3 course meal - wow. Every course was more amazing than the last. I can't recommend this place enough! Merci!
Really cute spot surprisingly not too busy when we went. The restaurant has lots of space , cool decor, & great people watching if you are seated by the window. The servers & bar tenders were great, service was perfect we both got the 5 item options (would definitely have been fine with the three as it was lots of food) & enjoyed everything. I would say the least favourite would be the arincini & the broccoli Cesar salad , not because they were bad but perhaps just less exciting flavor wise. Collectively we had the Tiki drink (very light & tasty), caipirinha (delicate, light, depth of flavour), a glass of wine, Negroni(the strawberry infusion was a delightful twist) , & an old fashioned (well balanced & came with a small fire on a plate to roast a marshmallow on which was a fun feature). Also ordered spicey naked & famous but it was waaaaaaaaaay too spicy so we sent it back & they replaced it no questions asked but be warned it is truly habanero forward lol.
The food portions were generous & timing between plates well timed to enjoy the ambience , drinks, & company. Would definitely go again :)

Nous avons passé un très bon moment. Le personnel est très chaleureux, les barmans sont très compétents & proposent une carte élaborée & soignée, avec des saveurs raffinées.
Love me a good speakeasy. This one was a bit too easy to find but it made enjoying the delightful cocktails even easier. Thomas was a gracious host & Leo behind the bar a true mixology craftsman. I enjoyed the house negroni & based on that, followed it up with Leo's choice. He picked the Side Car for me. Direct hit! Way to go Leo!! Chill video, no pretension, amazing cocktails, $1 oysters for 5a7. Good spot for cocktails after work. Shared plates look delicious but I was solo & the plates would have been better shared so I skipped out for an excuse to come back. The Prix Fixe looks reasonable too. Come with a large party & share family style after work or before a night on the town.
Visited for drinks at the speakeasy. Had reservations at nine, but the speakeasy wasn't opened yet. Sat at the bar in Vandale. The bartender was incredible & made a drink specifically for my taste that wasn't on the menu. The art is exceptional & makes for a very enriching experience. Spent a lot of the time looking around on the walls & enjoying our drink. The speakeasy is located downstairs right when you walk in. The speakeasy was very dark in a 20s intimate style. The drinks were absolutely phenomenal.
Very well located & very friendly & attentive staff (barman & host/server). I went for 5@7 on a Thursday & tried their $1 oysters & tuna tataki for food. The tuna tataki had a gorgeous presentation, very esthetic & full of texture & flavour too. I do recomemend this place 👍🏻

Great vibes, unique marketing & atmosphere & reasonable happy hour prices. There are $1 oysters Thursday happy hour (only?) & the staff are quick & friendly with the service. The menus are delivered in fun record sleeves & the murals of the space are colorful & pop! The space is not wheelchair accessible, there are a few steps to enter the first door, & heavy second door & stairs required for the bathrooms. There are multiple seat options with different levels of back rests for the bar versus table, & different levels of light & noise depending on where you are in the space. Overall I would recommend for the happy hour special but seemed pretty average for the normal bar/food service.
Amazing food & service! Would definitely recommend going.
However, reserving online did not work for us using the Libro service. We reserved well in advance & received email confirmations. The restaurant did not receive the booking.
The restaurant, even though fully booked, hosted us at the bar for a short while & found us a table within 15/20 minutes (on New Years Eve). This was highly appreciated.
C'était très bruyant (2 on s'entendait, 3 incapable d'avoir une discussion sans crier). La présentation des plats des tables à côté de nous nous a découragées.
Assiettes rectangles passées date ... présentation qui ne nous épatais pas réellement ...
On aimait le concept de prohibition, de bar caché ...
Par contre, pour la découverte CULINAIRE, ça ne nous a pas rejoint !!
Resto qui ne répondait pas à nos besoins. Malheureux parce que le menu nous faisait saliver, mais sur place ce fut une déception !
Bar très sympa, pas vraiment caché pour un speakeasy, mais le service est impeccable, le lieu est très intimiste & les cocktails sont bons. Bonne adresse !
