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.

The food is a bit underwhelming but for the price of 25$ for 3 course it's acceptable! Our server wasn't very attentive however the atmosphere is lovely

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 :)

Belle découverte ! L'endroit est super original avec une déco qui sort de l'ordinaire & crée une belle ambiance. Le service était correct, rien à redire. Les plats étaient bons & convenables, & surtout on en ressort rassasié sans se sentir lourd, ce qui est appréciable. Le dessert au Matchaaaa j'ai adoré ! Les cocktails sont un peu chers, mais ça reste une belle adresse à tester pour l'expérience.

J'ai trouvé ce restaurant à la last minute & c'est une belle découverte! Leurs plat sont succulent, tout est bien travaillé! Groooos + pour les gnocchis maison mamamia! Le manager Théo est super convivial & accueillant merci à lui pour les petites attentions! La déco est dingue, haut plafond que j'adore, & j'ai adoré la playlist qui est la mienne personnellement! Le prix des plats est étonnant pour la qualité, en plus menu 3 services ou 5 services dispo que dire de plus! Belle carte de vin. Bref on reviendra de sûr, il faut qu'on goûte les cocktails qui ont l'air insane!

Loved my experience when we went earlier this summer. The food was honestly amazing, especially at that pricepoint! Good way to get a cool 4-5 service dinner without having to cringe at your bill at the end of the night (I don't drink booze so that also helps). Service was very slow, but the waitress was alone due to a staff not showing up & we felt really bad for her. Shit happens. Overall a great night nonetheless.
