Review Summary

Vandale is widely praised for its unique speakeasy atmosphere, creative decor, and consistently delicious, generously portioned cuisine that features French-inspired dishes. Visitors frequently highlight the exceptional quality of the cocktails and the specialized mixology workshops offered on-site. While most guests experience attentive and welcoming service, feedback regarding the speed and coordination of service is occasionally mixed, with some noting delays during busier periods. Despite these minor inconsistencies and the building's challenging stair access, it remains a highly recommended destination in Old Montreal for those seeking a memorable, immersive dining experience.

If I could put 10 stars for the service, the food & the atmosphere, I would. It was an incredible experience. The young woman who looked after our table really went the extra mile. I've rarely experienced such excellent service & she gave sound advice. Unfortunately, I don't know her name, but she works on Friday evenings. I'd like to thank her again. She managed to turn our evening into an exceptional experience.

So, I highly recommend this restaurant for its choice of dishes & cocktails, its originality, the warm welcome we received & the friendliness of the staff. Moreover, the prices were affordable.

Nous avons passé une soirée absolument exceptionnelle au Speakeasy! Du début à la fin, tout était parfait.

La cuisine est tout simplement incroyable : des plats savoureux, parfaitement présentés, préparés avec des ingrédients de qualité & des saveurs qui dépassent les attentes. Chaque bouchée était un vrai plaisir.

L'ambiance est tout aussi remarquable. Le décor est magnifique, chaleureux & élégant, avec une atmosphère unique qui donne envie d'y rester toute la soirée. Que ce soit pour une sortie en couple, entre amis ou pour une occasion spéciale, c'est l'endroit idéal.

Un énorme merci à notre serveur, David, qui a rendu notre expérience encore plus mémorable. Son professionnalisme, son sourire, son attention aux moindres détails & ses excellentes recommandations ont fait toute la différence. On sent qu'il aime son travail & qu'il tient réellement à offrir un service impeccable.

Le Speakeasy offre une expérience complète où la qualité de la cuisine, l'ambiance & le service sont tout simplement irréprochables. C'est sans hésitation l'une des meilleures expériences en restaurant que nous ayons eues. Nous y retournerons très bientôt & le recommandons à tous ceux qui recherchent une soirée parfaite. Un immense bravo à toute l'équipe, & un merci tout particulier à David!
