Vallier Bistro Montréalais presents a stylish, welcoming space with bright, generous seating and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere; the menu offers a thoughtful mix of Québécois comfort dishes and creative touches, with standouts like tartare, poutine, seafood dishes and seasonal plates, all prepared with local ingredients; cocktails and wines complement the meals well, and the overall experience is enhanced by friendly, professional service that shows in attentive pacing and hospitality; the vibe suits date nights, friends gatherings, and casual meals any season, though a few visits note occasional slower service or items not available and some dishes may be seasoned more lightly, but the overall value, quality, and warmth keep bringing guests back.
We stopped by while walking around & decided to sit outside! The outdoor seating was really pleasant, & even without a reservation, they were very welcoming & able to accommodate us.
The service was friendly & attentive, though a bit on the slower side. The food wasn't particularly standout or unique, but it was still good, perfect for a quick, cozy brunch.
Overall, Vallier was a solid spot if you're looking for a relaxed outdoor vibe & a comfortable place to unwind!

Super expérience, le service était incroyable. Monsieur Loic nous a offert un super beignet ce qui nous a permis de superbement finir notre repas. Je reviendrais avec plaisi
Vallier is my casual go-to in the neighbourhood. Simple bistro menu that is well-executed. Salmon tartare is consistent, & on a recent Saturday afternoon I experienced an exceptional kir royale courtesy of William, the one-man show i.e. host/barista/bartender/restaurant server. The space is also noteworthy - bright & spacious. Date night, friends meet-up. A bistro for all seasons

Un cadre chaleureux, un service professionnel & des plats savoureux préparés avec des produits de qualité. Mention spéciale à Tom, le barman, pour son accueil & son professionnalisme qui contribuent à la belle ambiance du lieu. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésitation !
Le menu du Vallier Bistro propose une cuisine vraiment intéressante : des entrées parfumées comme les escargots, la salade césar Vallier ou le toast aux champignons, des plats réconfortants comme la poutine (avec option canard confit), le vol-au-vent, le burger Vallier, jusqu'aux tartares & plats de saison bien exécutés - le tout avec des produits d'ici & une belle créativité dans les plats
Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé, c'est l'ambiance conviviale & chaleureuse, parfaite pour un brunch, un lunch ou un souper. L'endroit a un charme à la fois moderne & accueillant, avec une carte de cocktails & de vins qui complète super bien le repas. 🍷✨
I highly recommend the atmosphere, service, & cuisine of this Bistro, which, in terms of quality, rivals the most renowned restaurants in Montreal-at a third of the price, though! As a couple, we shared an enormous tomahawk steak of truly high quality, champagne-there's only one, but it's good-& a fantastic dark chocolate dessert! Vallier Bistro deserves at least one visit; for me, it was the second of many (the first time, I had a very respectable tartare for lunch!). Highly recommended-I'm sure after the first time, you'll be back for more, just as I was!
Belle ambiance, très bon service.
Jai beaucoup aimée mon repas
**noter que le mac & cheese a ÉNORMÉMENT de fromage, pas fondu en tant que tel avec les pates mais plutot comme une pizza. Apars ca jai vraiment aimée.
Paris bistro experience without flying across the Atlantic. Even our server was from France. Wish had more time to sample the menu but was under a time rush. Had steak tartare with salad - perfection. The toast points had the right amount of thinness & crunch. The fries could have been crisper. Finally, arrive before the lunch rush, if you don't want to wait.

Stopped in for dinner after a long travel day. Sat at the bar where Tom served me. He was great, conversational & very quick. Had an excellent meal, the spicy beef tartare & the seafood risotto, they were fantastic. Left to continue my track out of town to find my rental car had been broke into. I came back the Vallier Bistro to find a warm spot to file a police report. Upon hearing my predicament Tom & his manager Will were beyond kind & gracious. They allowed me to post up for pushing 2 hours just to try to figure out my situation. They both offered their support helping me file a police report half in French (native & only English speaker here), allowed me to sit past closing so as not to put me out in the cold & just in general were very kind & supportive. Truly above & beyond & then some. Highly, highly recommend for their food & even more so for their service. Thank you both again, & to whomever reads these, please give these men a huge & deserved raise, it's hard to find that quality of service anywhere.
This is a beautiful restaurant with excellent service - friendly & efficient without being too fussy.
The food was excellent. Coffees were spectacular & they have a nice wine list.
We sat at a tale but there is a fabulous bar with plenty of seating also.
1. Le resto est magnifique
2. Service laisse a désirer.. on nous a jamais demander si nous voulions boire.. on a du le commander en meme temps du repas. La facture a ete longue a recevoir.. & le serveur n'avais pas l'air d'avoir envie d'être la ..
3. Nourriture.. vraiment decu pour le prix payer malheureusement ce n'ai pas difficile de faire mieux.. c'était malheureusement fade, manquais de saveur malgré tout les assiette était jolie..
Super bistro de quartier. Ambiance agréable, l'équipe prend bien soin des clients, portion très généreuse, ingrédients de qualité. Toujours un plaisir d'y retourner!
belle découverte ! nous y étions samedi dernier pour un''suprise'', nous étions 19 & nous avons eu un EXCELLENT service durant la soirée. Un gros merci à toute l'équipe
