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 offers a classy speakeasy vibe with a moody yet welcoming atmosphere, inventive cocktails and a diverse menu that ranges from generous share plates to satisfying mains, plus a notable private wine selection. The experience is frequently praised for attentive, friendly service and striking presentation, with guests often citing the ambiance, decor and the quality of drinks as standout features. Several reviews call Vandale a hidden gem and a memorable night out, though a few note higher prices and occasional service hiccups or slower pacing, particularly during busy times, and a drink detail not aligning with expectations. Overall, the venue delivers delicious food, well crafted cocktails, and a distinctive, immersive setting that many would return to for the atmosphere as much as for the flavors.

Great vibes, unique marketing & atmosphere & reasonable happy hour prices. There are $1 oysters Thursday happy hour (only?) & the staff are quick & friendly with the service. The menus are delivered in fun record sleeves & the murals of the space are colorful & pop! The space is not wheelchair accessible, there are a few steps to enter the first door, & heavy second door & stairs required for the bathrooms. There are multiple seat options with different levels of back rests for the bar versus table, & different levels of light & noise depending on where you are in the space. Overall I would recommend for the happy hour special but seemed pretty average for the normal bar/food service.

The food was amazing, the service was really cordial. This place has a perfect blend of cool yet chill atmosphere. The beef dish we had was spectacular, please keep it in the menu (they rotate menus often). Highly recommended.
