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.

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.

Découvert grâce à un TikTok, on a voulu essayer. Nous avons pris le menu à 25$ EXCELLENT! Je suis moi-même compliquée au niveau du goût, mais en mariant les saveurs ensemble c'est super bon. Mon coup de coeur est le plat principal ❤️ super bon. Nous vous attendez pas à de grosses portions! Serveurs très polis & expliquent bien le menu.

Nous sommes venus pour le menu à 25$, & franchement, pour le prix, c'était bien bon ! Ça fait plaisir de voir de plus en plus de restaurants à Montréal offrir de la bonne nourriture à des prix plus abordables !

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

The food was amazing, the service was really cordial. This place has a perfect blend of cool yet chill atmosphere. The beef dish we had was spectacular, please keep it in the menu (they rotate menus often). Highly recommended.

Went here for a girls dinner for a 5à7 on a Thursday. Wednesday's & Thursdays from 5PM-8PM they have $1 oysters & drinks have special pricing. The oysters were okay but the rest was phenomenal! We took the table d'hôte $25 & both beef options were to die for! The pasta was also very good. The staff were also very attentive & kind. Honestly for the price - 100% worth it.

Ambiente top. Purtroppo non siamo riusciti a sederci perché era tutto prenotato.... vi consiglio di prenotare.

La cuisine était vraiment bonne mais les portions beaucoup trop petites. Toutes les convives sont ressortis du restaurant en ayant faim... De plus, nous souhaitions acheter une bouteille de vin & le serveur nous a proposé de goûter le vin avant de confirmer notre choix de bouteille, & une de ses collègues est arrivée en disant que non ce n'était pas possible. Pas top niveau relation client...
