Located in Old Montreal, Vandale invites you to discover the cuisine of renowned chef Alex Payon as well as the cocktail menu of bar chef Jake Cristofaro. Located on McGill Street, a stone's throw from the Square Victoria metro and the Old Port, the Vandale restaurant opened its doors in September 2021. The kitchen offers classic dishes revisited with talent using local products.

Designed by the renowned Speakeasy team, the interior of Vandale Restaurant housed in a historic building, reflects the hip sensibilities of the Old Port and Griffintown. Arranged on several levels, this restaurant allows you to observe the 'Street Art' of a dozen Montreal artists. The spectacle is all at once in the hall, on the walls and in the open kitchen. The Vandal Team awaits you there.

Review Summary

Vandale receives high marks for a refined experience with food that many say is cooked to perfection, generous portions, and a crowd favorite like the lamb, while the ambience and décor deliver a stylish speakeasy vibe that keeps the room feeling lively; the drinks and cocktail program are a standout feature with artful presentations and even interactive mixology workshops in the basement that add a cool, immersive element; some notes point to occasional service hiccups such as long gaps between courses, uneven attentiveness, and a few issues around payment or ordering, though overall the staff are described as friendly and capable; the venue's originality, murals, and wine focus create a memorable setting, and the whole experience is often described as value for money, making Vandale a must-try in Old Montreal with plans to return for more dishes and drinks.

Went to this restaurant because the event of Montréal à table. We tried the table d'hôte menu. & it was good. Everything was tasty & well presented. The cocktails were very funky. They based on some classic cocktails & they made it into tasty & well presented cocktails with some funky ingredients. They also have a opened kitchen which you could see the staffs working in it. & it was a good experience. They also have another bar inside there basement. I think personally it was way too dark. They only lighted the bar with a few candles (& you could barely see the person who was sitting infront of you). But the cocktails were tasty. Overall why did I only give three stars, the food was good but it wasn't something I would come back for it. & the basement bar need to improve the lighting.

Un de mes endroits favoris pour aller manger quelque part en fin de semaine. Très belle ambiance & très beau cadre, cocktails toujours excellents. N'hésitez pas à vous laisser suggérer quelque chose. Service 5 étoiles, bouffe toujours réconfortante. Je n'ai jamais été déçu ! Merci !

Quelle superbe découverte pendant l'évènement Montréal à table. Resto super moderne & branché, musique au top & pas trop forte donc parfait pour avoir des conversations. Service impeccable du début à la fin, & la nourriture était juste divine. La carte de cocktail est également à tomber. Franchement une place à découvrir.
