Kitchen Galerie has always thrived on reinvention. Originally opened in 2007 and now helmed by chef Vincent Stafford, the Villeray-Little Italy bistro sits a stone’s throw from Jean-Talon Market and leans into that proximity with a menu shaped by whatever’s freshest that day. The vibe? Part open-kitchen theatre, part neighbourhood dinner party, where foie gras might be poached in a dishwasher and served next to oysters topped with more foie gras—because why not. Stafford, along with partners Alexis Dangléant Bourguignon and Vincent Arsenault, keeps the spirit of the place intact while pushing toward more modern techniques—fermentation, unexpected cuts, low-intervention wines. Regulars swear by the beef rib and tartare, but the tasting menu is where things really take off: a curated trip through whatever the kitchen’s excited about that day. Service is friendly, unrushed, and just sharp enough to keep things humming. It’s not just a meal—it’s a night out that feels like a shared secret.
