Vallier Bistro - Montréal

Several months ago, my partner and I stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to have a drink at the bar while we were killing time in the area. We were impressed by the decor and the friendly staff, so we vowed to come back for a meal sometime. Finally, yesterday we decided to try dinner here and we were not let down. We ordered the Calamari, Brussels sprout Caesar salad (which was delicious), French onion soup, and Steak. Everything was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the service was once again friendly. We enjoyed the vintage style, live plants, and natural light streaming in from the large windows.

We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking from the W Montreal to Old Montreal and decided to have lunch there one day. The atmosphere was welcoming and it seemed to attract both locals and tourists. The restaurant was quite busy and loud. The service was attentive and friendly, but unfortunately, the food was not up to par, except for the French onion soup which was amazing. The veggie burger and fries I ordered were barely edible. The fries were limp, soggy, and lukewarm. My husband ate some out of hunger, but I found them unappetizing. The veggie burger was small and thin, and the cumin flavor was overpowering. Despite being served on a nice bun with arugula and a Dijonnaise sauce, the overall taste was disappointing. My husband's Brussels sprout Caesar salad was also just okay. As experienced travelers and food enthusiasts, we were a bit let down by this restaurant. However, we both agreed that we would return just for the French onion soup.

Had a decent time here, came for lunch. The poutine is overhyped and was a disappointment. It was sufficiently cheesy but the duck was dry! I did enjoy the salmon tartare though.

Great looking place. Tried the poutine with duck, different ? loved the dessert, vanilla creme brulle, yummy ?? great service too???

Had the good fortune to stumble upon this gem down the street from our hotel the last night of our visit. Great experience, even with our two boys (9 12) in tow. Service was fantastic, food was wonderful really well executed, we were especially pleased with the cocktail /wine menu suggestions. Thank you so much we’ll be back next time in Montreal!
