| - Oh happy day I get to be the first to review this fabulous eatery.
I can't quite figure Vallier out. It's in Old Montreal which you would think would draw tourists but I haven't seen too many every time I've been there.
The space has high ceilings, big windows, cozy tables or a diner style counter to enjoy some of the best food in Montreal at. I love a good counter.
The menu is just big enough for variety but small enough to be executed perfectly every time. Gourmet burgers, meat loaf with fois gras (seriously?), mac n' cheese with sharp cheddar, duck shepard's pie, roast beef and the list goes on.
The duck salad (with beets, warm potato, greens and raspberry vinaigrette) is quite possibly my favorite meal in Montreal (so far).
Staff is friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu. The last time I was there the bartender (an adorable, bilingual little guy) described so many items from the menu that I had to take a deep breath and not order one of everything.
Regular rotation of wines by the glass on the chalkboard near the kitchen.
Oh and the kitchen - small and proudly displayed at the end of the bar - it appears to be a well oiled machine that churns out beautiful food to every plate.
Great for a date, after work, closed on Sundays so don't fight your way through the snow only to be heart broken.
Bring the foodie in your life here and watch them fall in love.
