We named our restaurant Bistro Nolah, an acronym for New Orleans, out of a love for the style of comfort food they serve down south. This style of food will be the inspiration behind some of the dishes we will be serving at Nolah.
Reviews portray Bistro Nolah as a cozy, welcoming spot with a warm New Orleans vibe and attentive service. The menu shines with Creole and Southern favorites such as gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp and grits, fried chicken, brisket, and catfish, with several dishes praised for being flavorful and well cooked. Brunch and tasting menus are highlighted by many guests, and desserts like bread pudding and banana cheesecake are frequently praised. The space is small and intimate, which can feel bustling at times but also adds to the charm; reservations are often recommended. Overall, Bistro Nolah delivers high quality, flavorful Southern dishes, a strong drinks program, and a memorable dining experience that makes guests eager to return for both brunch and dinner.

1st time experience with my girlfriend & her husband. Was recommended by a co-worker & drove from the east end to try this spot.
WOW!!! EVERYTHING was on point! The blackened catfish, the fried chicken & the Creole shrimp plates were extraordinary. The grits are so good, creamy & rich with a mascarpone cheese.
I'm a critique when it comes to taste & quality. All 3 of us were in AWE. Aw wonderful experience for the taste buds.
We shared the bread pudding with the bourbon sauce. OMG
We will definitely be back for the terrasse in the summer 😊
No photos for food. We simply enjoyed the culinary experience !!
Troisième visite & toujours aussi satisfaite. Le repas était délicieux, le service impeccable du début à la fin. Le menu brunch sort de l'ordinaire...on est loin du 2 oeufs bacon. L'été, la terrasse est superbe; un portion couverte permet de manger à l'extérieur même en cas de pluie.
Simply delicious! From the entrées, to the mains, & finishing with the desserts you simply can't go wrong.
If I were to criticize anything it would be their chocolate torte (-0.5 star), not very chocolatey (sadly a complete letdown) when compared to the Mississippi mud cake which was devine!
Chris, our waiter was excellent!
I wanted to go back & called to make a reservation & was informed that they only do reservations online & it requires a credit card to do so. (-0.5 star)

Went back & had another good meal. Chris was again our waiter & was great! Even my children enjoyed the food! The staff are friendly.
The only complaint with our meal would have been the fried chicken. It was super juicy, but not crispy at all.
Update
Went for another meal & it sadly did not live up to previous visits. Not sure we'll be going back.
I had the jerk shrimp with grits, I thought it wouldn't be filling but turned out to be a good portion. The mac n cheese lacked seasoning it was not what I expected but tasted like homemade.
Went for a dinner on a Sunday night. Making the reservation was easy & service was great. I have dined here before & the food is consistently delicious. We ordered the bao buns, mac & cheese, & shrimp & grits.

The food here is always incredible. So much flavor & really good quality. The restaurant is small & I think this adds to its charm as a must eat place in the West Island & perhaps the whole city! We had the shrimp Creole & the shrimp with grits & they were both deliciously seasoned & beautifully plated. We had the fried chicken as a starter & it was juicy, tender & just the right amount of sweet & spicy.
Service & atmosphere is great small & quaint restaurant. The food itself is awesome everything is fresh & you can taste it. Grits are awesome & so are the desserts makes me feel like I'm having some real home cooking definitely recommend southern food in Quebec is rare & this place does it for real so if your like me & love some southern comfort food come check it out you won't be disappointed

We visited Bistro Nolah & the experience was truly unforgettable. Everything exceeded our expectations-the food was exceptional, the service was warm & attentive, & the atmosphere made the whole meal even more enjoyable. A wonderful place to dine & definitely worth a visit.
X-cellent. Period. Lobster, shrimp'salad' ain't a salad, eats like one of best tartares around. Superb gumbo, crab cakes, oysters, bread, fried chicken, jambalaya, desserts etc etc...Plenty of parking, great staff, brunch equally good....one of best in west, enjoy. We do.
Had dinner last night November 19th
Me & my friend . Wished I'd remembered the servers name cause he was amazing 😀
The service was spectacular!!!!Food was above my expectations & I've been to New Orleans ♥?
We had cat fish tacos, shrimp & grits & octopus with black rice. I don't even like rice, but I ate every bite. We finished with my guilty pleasure bread pudding. To DIE FOR.
Check it out!!!! You won't be disappointed
Our brunch at Bistro Nolah was honestly amazing. We ate at the bar & every dish hit perfectly. We went for the surf & turf Benedict with salmon & beef & the Southern Breakfast. It was unreal. Everything tasted very flavourful, looked great, & made the whole meal unforgettable. We felt extremely welcomed & big thanks to Dominic for the great customer service & hospitality.
