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.

Love me a good speakeasy. This one was a bit too easy to find but it made enjoying the delightful cocktails even easier. Thomas was a gracious host & Leo behind the bar a true mixology craftsman. I enjoyed the house negroni & based on that, followed it up with Leo's choice. He picked the Side Car for me. Direct hit! Way to go Leo!! Chill video, no pretension, amazing cocktails, $1 oysters for 5a7. Good spot for cocktails after work. Shared plates look delicious but I was solo & the plates would have been better shared so I skipped out for an excuse to come back. The Prix Fixe looks reasonable too. Come with a large party & share family style after work or before a night on the town.

Amazing, chill place for nice food. The four course meal is worth every penny. Only thing is I wish the beef dish was hot when served. Still tasted amazing though.

Visited for the 4 course dinner. All the food options we tried were phenomenal, it's an amazing deal for $45. From our cool menu on a vinyl, to the first plate all the way to the desserts, we were very impressed & plan on visiting again soon.

Visited for drinks at the speakeasy. Had reservations at nine, but the speakeasy wasn't opened yet. Sat at the bar in Vandale. The bartender was incredible & made a drink specifically for my taste that wasn't on the menu. The art is exceptional & makes for a very enriching experience. Spent a lot of the time looking around on the walls & enjoying our drink. The speakeasy is located downstairs right when you walk in. The speakeasy was very dark in a 20s intimate style. The drinks were absolutely phenomenal.
