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.

To begin with the ambiance was super cool & well designed. We took the 25$ menu & it did not disappoint! The food was amazing & portions were fair! Our waiter was clearly a great human being! Not only was he nice but kind & welcoming! Our drinks were very well made & the presentation was very unique! I had an amazing time & will definitely go back

Great place in Old Port serving excellent food for a resonable price. There are a lot of choices on the menu, with different types of fish, seafood, meats, & veggies, which is suitable for everyone with dietary restrictions. We got the 4 course menu for 53$ & had lots of food. I especially loved the scallops, they were phenomenal with the celeriac purée. Cocktails are a form of art here, thoughfully imagined & created with passion. They are researched & well balanced with unique flavours that work perfectly. A place that is artfully decorated with local artists artwork. Don't forget to visit the Speakeasy downstairs! It's a vibe!

L'expérience & l'ambiance sortent vraiment de l'ordinaire. On entre dans un univers artistique qui va des murs jusqu'aux plats & aux boissons. On se sent à l'aise, bien accueilli & bien servi. Les plats sont magnifiques à regarder & délicieux en bouche. J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé tout ce qui m'a été servi, tous les ingrédients de chaque plat se marient très bien. Texture, goût, équilibre, tout y est à chaque fois. Les cocktails sont élaborés, goûteux & uniques. Il y a un véritable génie artistique derrière tous les cocktails. Il y en a un pour tous les goûts. Il y a même un speakeasy sur place. L'ambiance est superbe, on pénètre dans un concept de bar caché. On se détend, on passe un bon moment avec le personnel. Vraiment de belles soirées en perspective. Je vous conseille vivement d'y faire un tour.
