hile it’s impossible to find a definition for Le Vallier in English, allow me to translate the classy ambiance and high quality cuisine served at this new resto, just steps from Victoria Square.

Owner Valliler Dufour has melded the traditional French atmosphere with the sleek and crisp NYC interpretation of the brasserie to create a restaurant that serves not only the best in French cuisine, but also within a sexy, modernist atmosphere that the elite MTL foodie crowd has since swarmed. Snazzily dressed gentlemen and equally adorned ladies flock for scrumptious lunchtime sandwiches and cappuccinos, as well as equally delicious evening meals. –E.J.
