Great service & very fresh ingredients! We did enjoy the food however we did feel like the dishes did not live up to the price point.View more

During the past few years, this Montreal neighbourhood hidden gem has progressively ascended the' Top 100 Best Canadian Restaurant' ranking list. Currently, it occupies the #7 spots, just behind our Ontario-own Pearl Morissette, Alo, Edulis, 20 Victoria street…etc.
By pure luck, dining options for our relatively large party of 6, required special handling by the smallish & cozy restaurant & its compact kitchen. This resulted in our being offered a fixed price, pre-arranged'omakase' menu, consisting of communal size dishes for sharing. This menu will be specially crafted in person by Montreal celebrity chef/owner Ari Schor himself! A nice surprise & welcoming privilege!
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly & graciously by the wait staff & the two owner brothers, Ari & Pablo. After exchanging hand shakes, hugging & verbal pleasantries, we all settled down, ordered our pre-dinner cocktails & eagerly awaited the arrival of our culinary feast.
We were presented with the following dishes:
Appetizers:
- Potato Knish with Imperial Osetra Caviar
- Montadito of Mackerel with sesame, salted butter & horseradish
- Involtini of Zucchini & Swiss Chard with yogurt & pine nuts
Mains:
- Drunken Guinea Fowl & Liver marinated in Sherry
- Tagliatelle served with Chanterelle, braised Zucchinis & Pamiagiano
Reggiano
- Gloucester Old Spot Pork chop with creamed corn & black truffles
- Rabbit with Octopus, Chorizo & Potatoes
- Wild Mushroom Paella
Desserts:
- Strawberries with Marsala Zabaglioni & Amaretti
- House made Vanilla Icecream with roasted Pistachios
Our intriguing French & South American Hispanic fusion fare, with a touch of Chinese theme thrown into the mix, was both rustic yet refined. Dishes' progression was a balanced blend of subtle flavour creations intermingled with some concoctions packed with relatively bold & complex taste profiles.
The Shanghainese scallion pancake taste-alike potato Knish topped with salty caviar was a great overture to our meal.
The Chinese drunken pigeon clone main -'Drunken Guinea Fowl with Sherry' was IMO a clever,masterful touch! The delicious meat, tender & moist…..the medium rare, velvety smooth & creamy foie, exceptional!
I am normally not a fan of rabbit, finding it usually overcooked & dry. Yet, Beba's rendition was a pleasure to eat. The well seasoned meat was nicely seared, flavourful & juicy. Same applies to the pork, which was also perfectly executed, caramelized crust on the outside & moist juicy meat inside. The pile of shaved Black truffle topping was super-generous & the sweet Chilean creamed corn sauce, delightful!
Overall, it was a satisfying & sumptuous meal with generous portions, encompassing some creative, intriguing & unfamiliar ingredient composition & flavour profile
The only downside to our meal was the rather underwhelming, blend tasting & mushy textured pasta dish plus the loud &'funky' background music, which featured African tribal like songs to crackling Caribbean percussion to mellow Hispanic. What a weird mix?!
An evening of good food, warm attentive service & great company! A near perfect total package!View more

My better half & I dined at Beba this evening & it was unforgettable. The staff is extremely attentive & knowledgeable (& very graceful working in such a tight space) the food was incredible, every dish was better than the last. The tomato tart will be on my mind for a very long time. It capped our night off in Montreal perfectly. We can't wait to come back. Thanks 🙏View more

A lot of little things led to a disappointing meal. I was debating on two drinks, I decided on one. The server brought the other. It was good but not what I ordered. The mackerel dish was served raw. The menu never said that. My wife said it was good. I just don't like raw mackerel. The tomato tart was awful. They did comp it though. Of the three hot dishes we ordered, two (the tart being one) were served lukewarm. The special, pork belly (the other one served lukewarm) was equal parts fat as meat. The tongue dish & the date dish were both really good. The worse part is for what we spent to leave hungry, not worth it.View more

Petit resto. , cuisine ouverte avec les clients, plusieurs serveurs pour offrir bon service, carte des vins élaborée, moins de 10 plats offerts, bonnes explications du menu & lors du service.View more

Must order ossetra caviar knish, mackerel, foie gras stuffed dates; salad radicchio, zucchini; FABULOUS GUINEA FOWL WITH ITS FOIE GRAS, ASPARAGUS, excellent Berkshire pork with corn & truffles. Flan with blueberries & whipped cream. Sophisticated wine list at all price points, & a knowledgeable staff to advise. We prefer Beba to Mon Lapin & Boulud (both of which are excellent!)View more

Great, creative food & very good service. Only negative was the loud music. A bit expensive, but worth the experience.View more

Le service était excellent! L'ambiance correct mais niveau bouffe c'était plutôt décevant étant donné le prix. Pour 2 personnes avec une bouteille de vin nous avons payer un peu plus de 420$(incluant le tip) à ce prix là je m'attends à plus de wow disons. Au dire de notre serveuse le menu change couramment nous avons peut-être été malchanceux qui sait. Malheureusement pour plus de 200$ par tête je ne ferai pas un deuxième essais.View more

Read reviews & it sounded great. Food was excellent- well prepared & seasoned. Goat ragu & sweetbreads were outstanding. It is quite pricey- we had 3 small dishes & one larger plus 2 cocktails & 2 glasses of wine for 2 was over 300 Canadian with tax & tip. Neighoirhood is funky. Would recommend for special occassions.View more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile. I actually got introduced to this restaurant from looking at Chef Vincent Gee (Sushi Nishinokaze)'s posts, & I decided to give it a try because of this. Upon further research, I found that this restaurant was very highly ranked in Canada's 100 Best Restaurants!
Beba is a small, intimate restaurant in the heart of Verdun serving food & drink inspired by the Spanish & Italian cultures that settled in Argentina?. Argentine-born brothers Ari (former chef de cuisine, Liverpool House) & Pablo Schor (former barman at Vancouver's Bao Bei) share sophisticated versions of their Italian- & Spanish-inflected childhood favourites.
The menu for this restaurant changes every week, so I wasn't able to look on Instagram for any inspirations to help me order.
My buddy & I tried:
•empanada
•bone marrow pan con tomate, anchovy
•strozzapreti lamb ragu, fava beans, mint
•pork chop kohlrabi, pancetta, white wine
My favourite order here is the bone marrow. It's so delicious & fatty, & it goes so well with the sourness of the anchovy, taste of tomato, crisp of bread.
The empanada was delicious too. The strozzapreti was a bit too salty in my opinion, & not that special. The pork chop was prepared pretty well; despite being a thick cut of pork chop, the meat was all nice & tender.View more

1. Montadito - $28
Two slices of mackerel with a touch of salted butter for richness. The sesame-topped bread feels like a mini bagel. A mild spicy kick from the horseradish. Worth a try!
2. Tagliatelle - $33
Italian wide noodles served with tender guinea fowl ragu & Parmigiano Reggiano. Savory, rich, & a nice fusion of French & Italian flavors. Slightly on the salty side.
3. Macreuse de boeuf - $85
Lean yet tender flat iron steak, served with morels & potatoes. The charcutière sauce, with its mustardy, savory flavor, really hits the spot-especially for a Chinese palate. Are those bits of cured meat & pork jelly in the sauce? Feels like a chef's hidden masterpiece 🔍
4. Flan - $13
Classic caramel flan topped with whipped cream & dulce de leche (tastes a bit like Werther's candy). The caramel is noticeably bitter, & the texture is thick & dense. A single bite is super smooth. A bit too sweet for me personally, but I'd still recommend trying it!View more
