Vallier Bistro Montréalais charme par une ambiance chaleureuse et un décor moderne qui invite à la détente; le service est globalement professionnel et attentif, et la cuisine privilégie des produits locaux avec une belle créativité, allant des entrées comme les escargots et la salade César Vallier jusqu'aux plats réconfortants et aux tartares, sans oublier les options de poisson et de fruits de mer et une sélection de cocktails et de vins qui accompagnent bien le repas. Des avis soulignent une impression de valeur et certains comparent Vallier Bistro Montréalais à des adresses plus célèbres tout en offrant des tarifs plus accessibles; toutefois quelques expériences mentionnent un service parfois lent, des oublis à l'addition ou des plats manquant de saveur ou d'audace selon les cas, et certaines cartes peuvent ne pas proposer certains plats au moment du service.

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 !
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!
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.
J'ai passé une superbe soirée dans ce restaurant tout était impeccable. Les plats étaient savoureux & joliment présentés : la soupe a l'oignon gratinée, réconfortante & riche en goût, le steak frites parfaitement cuit, & le pouding chômeur chaud accompagné de glace a la vanille, un vrai délice.
Les drinks étaient excellents, bien équilibrés & servis avec soin. Le service était attentionné, professionnel & toujours avec le sourire.
L'ambiance est chaleureuse & conviviale, idéale pour un bon moment entre amis ou en couple.
Un grand merci au chef pour la qualité & la finesse des plats ! Je recommande fortement cet endroit. 🍸✨
All the boxes are checked! Food, service & ambiance. & the pricing is affordable comparing to the other restaurants in old port area. Highly recommended.

Le resto est très joliment décoré, & on y est très bien installé pour le repas. L'accueil & le service sont agréables, & la nourriture très bonne. Je recommande 😊
The atmosphere is beautiful & welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax & enjoy the city vibe. The service was excellent, attentive, friendly, & professional.
The food was absolutely tasty, with every dish prepared to perfection. The menu is very well designed, offering a variety of delicious options without being overwhelming.
Their alcohol & wine selection is also impressive, clearly crafted by a talented menu engineer who knows how to balance flavours & pairings.
Overall, a fantastic dining experience, great food, great drinks, & great service in a lovely setting. Highly recommended!
This place is very cozy. Great place to go with your significant other for a date. I had the burger & I loved it. My daughter had the pasta of the day with lamb & she loved it. I highly recommend. I love the ambience. The music. The staff is great

Very amazing experience! The food was spectacular & very tasty! I had the Escargot gratiné for starter & the coquille Saint-Laurent was to die for! Our server Romain was very attentive & his service was of high quality. Dominique came & checked in on us, she was an absolute gem & made sure that we had everything that we needed. I recommend this restaurant if ever you visit the Old Port of Montreal!!!
I had a fantastic meal here! I started with the French onion soup, which was absolutely delicious-the cheese was perfectly crispy, & the bread had the ideal crunch. I also tried the Brussels sprout salad with shredded duck. While it was my least favorite dish of the night (mainly because I'm not a huge fan of duck), it was still really good. I do wish it had more Brussels sprouts, but the thick, flavorful bacon was a standout! For my main dish, I had the vol-au-vent, & it was one of the best comfort foods I've ever had. It wasn't too heavy & reminded me of chicken pot pie in phyllo dough-it was absolutely delicious, & I highly recommend it! For drinks, I originally asked for rosé, but they didn't have it. The server recommended Prosecco instead, & I'm so glad they did-it was amazing!

We spotted this place by walking by, driven by the cozy atmosphere & pretty decor we decided to make a reservation for dinner the next day. We indicated we were two couples with two babies, & a table with a great amount of space was waiting for us, which made us feel instantly welcome. The atmosphere was pretty local & easy going, we even made some friends with two girls that were dining solo (one was reading a book accompanied with a drink)! The food was just AMAZING; we had the gnocchi Mac & cheese, the lamb, the mushroom raviolis, shepherds pie & meatballs (in order of favorite to less favorite). For dessert we had pudding Chomeur & crème brûlée. Even the cappuccinos were amazing. This was our last night at Montreal & couldn't have been happier with the choice. Can't recommend this place enough, thanks to all the staff for making it a great evening, & of course the kitchen & bar staff as well. We will definitely come back!!!
I stopped by after a long day & had an early dinner of mussels & fries. Absolutely perfect. Look at the photos: a delightful simple salad, then the mussels & yummy fries. I wanted an after dinner drink but didn't know which one to have. The waitress recommended the Pineau des Charentes which was amazing. I can't wait to visit again when I'm in town.
Je change mon avis de 5* après être revenu après 3ans. Le service est devenu lent, nous avons été servi par un certain B* au service du soir, qui a été vraiment très désagréable toute la soirée. Nous étions un groupe de 8 personnes pour fêter un anniversaire. Il ne méritait clairement pas les 18% de pourboire proposé au minimum par la machine. Avec un total d'environ 65$ par personne. Le calamar en entrée n'est pas spécialement bon ni frais. Les plats principaux sont juste corrects. Les desserts sont congelés, & très fades. le fondant au chocolat n'est pas fait maison, ni la sauce chocolat. La présentation & les goûts du pouding chômeur sont peut-être à revoir. Je ne recommande ni les entrées ni les desserts. Les plats principaux sont ok.
I gave a 3 because although the food was decent (not amazing, but still good), the way the waiter used his kindness against us was way too much. Let me explain. As a waitress, I totally understand what suggestive selling is; however, too much of that is not good. For almost every meal or drink we ordered, the waiter had something to say about it. Regardless if it was insisting that we take on a bigger portion, strongly recommending a wine while ordering food, insisting on another drink, suggesting to add a protein to a meal, & the cherry on top, strongly (& when I say strongly, I mean it) suggesting the way we should split bills between us. This waiter has no idea what our relationships all are between us nor does he know our individual financial means. I found it truly insulting that this waiter almost forced us to split the whole bill in equal amounts when we all ordered different things, did not share at all & definitely do not have the same means. In no way is this his responsibility to decide upon that. We were all really confused about it & thank god, after my friend refusing his offer twice, he ended up bringing one bill for the whole table. Not the best, but at least now we could decide how to split it. I know what was this waiter's name, but since he was really nice overall, I don't want to put the whole blame on him. I am not sure if this is how employees are trained there, but that is not the way to go. Apart from that, as I said the food was good, but portions could have been bigger for the price. I was expecting way more flavours for "higher-end" food based on the prices. Atmosphere was all right, the music was loud, but it was okay for a restaurant. I am not sure if this is a tourists trap, but as someone from this city, I would not recommend unfortunately.
Un bistrot très sympa Nous avons pris notre dernier dîner à Montréal Une cuisine de qualité Nous avons été accueilli & servi par Greg qui a été aux petits soins pour nous Nous recommandons !!
