Located in Old Montreal, Vandale invites you to discover the cuisine of renowned chef Alex Payon as well as the cocktail menu of bar chef Jake Cristofaro. Located on McGill Street, a stone's throw from the Square Victoria metro and the Old Port, the Vandale restaurant opened its doors in September 2021. The kitchen offers classic dishes revisited with talent using local products.
Designed by the renowned Speakeasy team, the interior of Vandale Restaurant housed in a historic building, reflects the hip sensibilities of the Old Port and Griffintown. Arranged on several levels, this restaurant allows you to observe the 'Street Art' of a dozen Montreal artists. The spectacle is all at once in the hall, on the walls and in the open kitchen. The Vandal Team awaits you there.
Vandale offers a classy speakeasy vibe with a moody yet welcoming atmosphere, inventive cocktails and a diverse menu that ranges from generous share plates to satisfying mains, plus a notable private wine selection. The experience is frequently praised for attentive, friendly service and striking presentation, with guests often citing the ambiance, decor and the quality of drinks as standout features. Several reviews call Vandale a hidden gem and a memorable night out, though a few note higher prices and occasional service hiccups or slower pacing, particularly during busy times, and a drink detail not aligning with expectations. Overall, the venue delivers delicious food, well crafted cocktails, and a distinctive, immersive setting that many would return to for the atmosphere as much as for the flavors.
Le plat principal était tiède, & pas chaud. Dommage. La serveuse nous a dit qu'il n'y avait pas de pain, alors que nous en aurions voulu. C'est très étrange de couper là-dessus... & la musique était trop forte.
Sinon cela a été une belle découverte.

Tres belle soirée. Dommage qu on nous demande de garder nos couverts en nous répondant qu on mangerait la suite avec nos doigts. Excellent service avec Amandine qui a rattrapé le tout. Excellente cuisine
Le menu 4 services pour MTLATABLE était délicieux. Les saveurs se mariaient parfaitement ensemble, les produits semblaient frais. Le carpaccio a été un coup de coeur pour toute notre table. Son assaisonnement & la texture en bouche avec les câpres frites, la moutarde étaient parfaits. Le tiramisu au Nutella en dessert était gourmand mais léger, & a bien fini le repas.
Un de mes endroits favoris pour aller manger quelque part en fin de semaine. Très belle ambiance & très beau cadre, cocktails toujours excellents. N'hésitez pas à vous laisser suggérer quelque chose. Service 5 étoiles, bouffe toujours réconfortante. Je n'ai jamais été déçu ! Merci !
Succulent repas!
Portions généreuses & goûteuses. Personnel sympathique.
Montréal à table nous a permis de découvrir un nouveau restaurant fort intéressant.
Had a very nice time & dinner. Please try to secure the upper level side though as some of our personal items fell on the guest dining on the floor level...
We went to Vandale during the Mtl à table & it was amazing! Our waiter David was super nice & present even on a crazy busy night. The food was good & the ambiance/decor is unique & well done.

Super service! Très bon choix d'accord mets & vin. Les desserts seraient à repenser, tarte citron = pâte trop cuite & la garniture de citron très liquide. Le tiramisu manquait de doigts de dames & je cherche encore le goût du Nutella. Merci !
