My wife & I had a bit of time to kill before our dinner reservation & we randomly came across Le Speakeasy on our walk through the area. They had just opened for the evening & were very kind to accommodate us without a reservation.
We really enjoyed the ambiance & vibe & our server was world class. We only had time for a cocktail each but wished we could have stayed for more.
No spoilers from me....just come & experience what Le Speakeasy has to offer. You won't regret it.

I got the gnocchi & creme brûlée which were delicious. The wait staff was excellent, some of the best service I've ever had. The vibe of the place was fun & different than many places I've been before.

The service was great, our servers were super easy going & kind. The mocktails were very delicious, would definitely recommend the mango tiki for something refreshing! Portions were quite generous & food was really filling. They made the appetizers to be generous enough to share with your whole table without problem. The vibe was very relaxed & inviting, with some good music & cosy decor. If you want some place to enjoy a good conversation & great food with friends this is perfect!

My partner & I came here for the MTL à Table 2025 edition & I wasn't disappointed. The food was good & the service was great. We were super full as the portion was quite big & that was definitely worth $50/person. I love the atmosphere & the decoration were quirky but in a speakeasy-ish cute vibe. The only downside was the drink; I think I got a very average Nestea taste-like iced tea while I ordered a special mocktail.
Also:
-Paid-parking on the street
-Super cute menu printed on vinyl disks
-Tricky speakeasy entrance from the street, you gotta know how to get in

Group of 3, we went for MTL à Table! It was a very good tasting menu! The portions were pretty big considering it was 4 courses. The gnocchi & short rib were fantastic! The Staff, decor & vibe are great- there was just a super extra loud table next to us. All in all a very pleasant discovery !

The actual speakeasy wasn't open. The vibe at the restaurant portion is fine but nothing noteworthy. Great drinks though

Overall, our night for 2 was amazing. We went on Friday April 11th from 7pm to 9h30.

Excellent: service was truly amazing (she was funny, kind, attentive), ambiance & vibes were immaculate, our gravlax entrée left us speechless, good portions for tapas style, the matcha crème brûlée wow!, cocktails are expensive (?20$) but definitely worth it, & 3 course for 25$ was a steal. Focaccia was amazing too.

Good: the main dishes lacked a little flavour… the pasta was good, but nothing that can't be whipped up at home under 30 mins.

To be improved: our main dishes took quite a long time to arrive, but understandable as it was busy & the server made sure to check up often.

Disappointed: we were left disappointed by the Asian short ribs that really lacked flavour & sauce. Mainly we were disappointed because the rice was quite undercooked.

But we left this place happy, we ate well, had great cocktails, & for 150$ in total it was worth it (tip & taxes incl.) for 2x 3 courses, 2 cocktails & a beer, foccacia & saucission extra (great portion). We'll come back :)

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.
