The whole staff was spectacular & very attentive, especially the bartender! I had the Gravlax & Poitrine de Canard, they both came out wonderfully! I also enjoyed their wine selection, though the cocktails are definitely where it's at, they have a very knowledgeable bartender for sure!

Go there, enjoy the atmosphere, & savor the deliciousness!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The food was some of the best I've had in a long time, & the service made it even better. Kevin behind the bar was fantastic - friendly, attentive, & made incredible drinks. Mateo was equally amazing as our host/server & made us feel welcomed the entire night. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about giving people a great experience. This place deserves way more recognition & popularity than it gets. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding food, drinks, & service.

Kevin, I'll see you at my wedding. #Witness

We enjoyed not only the cocktails listed on the menu, but our bartender Oliver was also able to craft a custom cocktail with Pisco (not commonly offered at bars), as we had explained we had recently returned from a trip to Chile & Peru. We also ordered the duck & the pear salad, which were both excellent. All the staff were friendly, & it was a clean & classy environment. We will definitely return - with friends!

Nice time for our final visit of the evening. Had a few drinks (all delicious) & 2 rounds of bruschetta & focaccia which hit the spot! The speakeasy is closed in December I guess (not sure when else) so we just sat at the ba

Barmans condescendants, très mauvais service. À éviter.

We visited Vandale Speakeasy & were really impressed by the food - everything we ordered was delicious, well-prepared, & beautifully presented. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the kitchen. Our share plates arrived before our tasting plates & utensils, which made things a bit awkward. Our food even showed up before our drinks, despite the bar being fairly empty (we were told the bartender was backed up). Water glasses went unfilled all night, & there were long waits between each of the three courses.

What stood out most, however, was the nonchalant attitude of both our server & the bartender. There didn't seem to be much urgency or attentiveness, which dampened what could have been an otherwise fantastic dining experience. Honestly, it makes sense the place was empty on a Friday night.

The food alone makes Vandale worth a visit, but we hope the service catches up to the level of the kitchen.

Hidden gem in Montreal! Stopped in for the Atelier Mixology class in the basement of this restaurant (which was equally amazing). Had a drink at the bar before we started - absolutely delicious. The barman was kind, funny, & made the best drinks. These were not just generic beverages but rather artfully crafted, highly complex drinks. After the class, we decided to stay for dinner as it smelled SO good coming back up the stairs. We all opted for the 3 course meal - wow. Every course was more amazing than the last. I can't recommend this place enough! Merci!

Really cute spot surprisingly not too busy when we went. The restaurant has lots of space , cool decor, & great people watching if you are seated by the window. The servers & bar tenders were great, service was perfect we both got the 5 item options (would definitely have been fine with the three as it was lots of food) & enjoyed everything. I would say the least favourite would be the arincini & the broccoli Cesar salad , not because they were bad but perhaps just less exciting flavor wise. Collectively we had the Tiki drink (very light & tasty), caipirinha (delicate, light, depth of flavour), a glass of wine, Negroni(the strawberry infusion was a delightful twist) , & an old fashioned (well balanced & came with a small fire on a plate to roast a marshmallow on which was a fun feature). Also ordered spicey naked & famous but it was waaaaaaaaaay too spicy so we sent it back & they replaced it no questions asked but be warned it is truly habanero forward lol.
The food portions were generous & timing between plates well timed to enjoy the ambience , drinks, & company. Would definitely go again :)
