A contemporary and inviting bistro in the heart of the city where comforting and often reinvented classics that Montréalers love exist alongside creations inspired by local flavours. At Vallier, locally sourced ingredients and products are spotlighted both on the menu and on the cocktail list.
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.
I was very happy with this place. I normally complain a lot about restaurants but this one I would return to. I had french onion soup, the mussels & split the lava cake. Drinks included their sparkling water. I wasn't happy with their choice of sparkling water, & found it saltier compared to other brands. No complaints on the french onion soup except that it felt like my soup never cooled down so I was continuously trying to discreetly blow my nose. I ended up stealing other tables napkins after using all the ones at ours. The mussels were good. The shape of the pot they came with was visually stunning but made it difficult for my first 20 mussels to access their both. I would have enjoyed bread to soak up the sauce but realized the couple in front of us asked for bread & the waiter brought some. Next time I'll ask. The lava cake was good. I prefer lava cakes that ooze out when cut in half instead of a cakier dough but the English cream was a nice addition that I will use at home. The decoration was great, music wasn't loud so you could hear your table mates. The lighting was cozy but lit enough to read the menu. & the waiters took extra time to explain the menu even though the restaurant was busy. I didn't feel rushed by them nor bothered too much. Will be returning & excited to see how their menu changes with the seasons.
Honnêtement, j'ai spécifié des allergies. On s'en ai foutu. Il y avait trop de tout ce que je ne voulais pas. Aujourd'hui, avec le coût relié a une sortie au restaurant, on s'attends à la base.
Superbe endroit
Je choisis toujours les places au bar pour être servi par Steve
Attentionné, efficace & super drôle !
La nourriture est excellente & les cocktails sont très originaux !
En bref je recommande grandement
Le tartare était beaucoup moins goûteux qu'à l'habitude. Je me suis demandé si on avait seulement mis de la crème sûre au boeuf & aucun assaisonnement. Je n'ai pas aimé. Je trouve que la qualité de la nourriture n'est pas constante.
