McGill Street, in Old Montreal, is dotted with plenty of wonderful places to eat, drink and be merry. Surrounded by some of the most beautiful and unique buildings in the city, this is always a pleasant of the city area to visit. A mainstay on the street since December 2006 is Vallier, a restaurant that constantly delivers top notch service and delicious food.
When Vallier opened, Montreal was still in the beginning of its comfort food revolution. This restaurant was on the forefront of the comfort food trend, with their versions of updated favorites. It was over five years ago when I first tasted their Mac & Cheese and became obsessed with their delicious take on Sheppard’s pie (they use duck confit instead of beef and I can’t tell you enough how you absolutely need to try this). Though the menu has evolved over the years, these items that many of us love have become the new classics.
The service is incomparable, as a team of waiters are present from the minute you’re seated, all the way to end of your experience. From taking your order and checking in at the right time, all the way to folding your napkin while you’re away from the table, it’s paying attention to the littlest details that make service at Vallier stand out from the rest.
If you’re looking for a consistently outstanding, savory culinary experience in a unique environment, for any type of evening out, you should give Vallier a try. Photo Credits: Vallier, David Giral Photo
