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.

Une cuisine incroyablement délicieuse & rafinée. Un cadre intime qui amène à vivre l'expérience unique qu'offre le Speakeasy. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner pour continuer de découvrir la carte

A fun restaurant'hidden' behind a secret door. The food was good & the maitre d' was friendly but the food came very slowly. I think the chef need helpers or maybe a simpler menu.

Food was great but service & kitchen were very slow. It took 2 hours to get drinks, appetizers & mains. Took 10 minutes to get a coke.

The atmosphere is what sets this place apart. The folks who work here go out of their way to make every guest feel like he/she is part of a secret club. We try to get in every time we're in town.

It can be a little noisy. The painted brick walls are really not designed for sound dampening. &, there are a lot of stairs, which can present a challenge for folks with mobility impairments. However, it is well worth putting up with these things to be part of this club.
