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.

Vraiment apprécié mon expérience les cocktails & la nourriture étaient super bonnes. Je recommande.

La nourriture est vraiment pas cher ce qui est cher c'est les cocktails. Mon repas m'a coûter 20$ & une cocktail m'as aussi coûté 20$.

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 :)

Très bons tapas, la formule 3 ou 5 plats à partager représentent un excellant rapporte qualité prix. Le resto est aussi original en terme de décoration. Les murs sont recouvert de murales psychédéliques. Avant le repas, nous avons aussi eu la chance de faire un atelier de mixologie pendant 2h dans le speakeasy au sous-sol, nous avons adoré notre expérience. C'est l'activité idéale pour une date ou un événement spécial.

Cela fait 3 ans que l'on vit à 50 mètres du Vandale, & nous n'y sommes jamais allé pensant que ça allait être cher & trop class.
Nous avons été attirés à l'intérieur par l'offre de prix sur le menu 3 services, & quelle belle surprise !
Nous avons super bien mangé, c'était copieux pour le prix. Le prix des boissons est tout à fait correct (surtout pour le quartier), déco sympa & service nickel 👌
Quel regret de ne pas y avoir été avant 🥹
