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.

We had the best time at Le Speakeasy! We booked a surprise 60th birthday dinner & the staff really made it feel special. Kevin was our waiter for the evening & was kind, attentive, & knowledgeable - I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a great meal & cool atmosphere in Old Montreal!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The food was some of the best I've had in a long time, & the service made it even better. Kevin behind the bar was fantastic - friendly, attentive, & made incredible drinks. Mateo was equally amazing as our host/server & made us feel welcomed the entire night. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about giving people a great experience. This place deserves way more recognition & popularity than it gets. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding food, drinks, & service.

Kevin, I'll see you at my wedding. #Witness

In from out of town for F1 race. Le Speakeasy just reopened after a major renovation, & the place is suite! Their take on an American Speakeasy with a French twist. The food was unreal, best duck dish I've ever had in my life. Perfect medium rare, & perfectly cooked, crisp potatoes. It came with this parsnip puree that was incredibly flavorful. I licked the plate! Kevin & Mateo helped us out & they both were incredibly helpful & knowledgeable about the new menu. 5/5, will be back!

Dans son tout nouveau décor, le Speakeasy est l'endroit parfait pour une belle soirée, autant en couple qu'entre amis. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & soignée, & le service est toujours impeccable à chacune de mes visites. Je recommande particulièrement le tartare de boeuf ainsi que la poire pochée au vin rouge, qui sont honnêtement mes plats préférés & la raison pour laquelle j'y retourne aussi souvent. Une adresse à découvrir absolument!
