Bistro Nolah propose des plats authentiques inspirés par les traditions culinaires riches de la cuisine cajun et créole. Le menu présente des incontournables tels que le jambalaya mijoté, le gumbo épicé et le poisson-chat noirci agrémenté de mélanges d'épices audacieux. Les clients découvrent une approche directe des plats réconfortants qui privilégie les saveurs robustes et les méthodes de préparation traditionnelles. Les plats signatures incluent souvent des beignets frits et des sandwichs po-boy aux crevettes qui représentent le patrimoine culinaire varié du sud des États-Unis. La cuisine maintient des normes élevées pour la qualité des ingrédients afin de garantir que chaque plat capture la chaleur et les arômes distincts des recettes classiques du Bayou. Cet établissement demeure une destination pour ceux recherchant une véritable cuisine du Sud préparée avec précision technique et constance.
Bistro Nolah est largement reconnu pour sa cuisine réconfortante du Sud inspirée de la Nouvelle-Orléans, authentique et pleine de saveurs, de nombreux clients louant la grande qualité de plats tels que le poulet frit, la poitrine de bœuf fumée ainsi que les crevettes et gruau de maïs. Bien que l'atmosphère intime et chaleureuse ainsi qu'un service exceptionnel et attentionné soient les points forts pour la plupart des visiteurs, le petit espace peut parfois devenir assez bruyant ou donner une impression d'étroitesse. Bien que quelques convives aient noté que certains plats tendent à être très épicés et que les prix se situent dans la fourchette supérieure, la majorité des clients le considèrent comme une destination gastronomique de premier plan dans l'Ouest de l'île. Les réservations sont fortement recommandées pour obtenir une table, surtout pour leur populaire brunch du dimanche, car le restaurant demeure un choix fréquent pour les occasions spéciales et les repas mémorables.
We absolutely enjoyed Bistro Nolah, one of the best restaurants that we have tasted in a long time. We had Hush Puppies (Cornbread) & Fried Chicken for appetizers. The fried chicken was really flavourful down to the very fibre of the chicken. For dinner, we ordered the shrimp & grits, pan seared scallops (special on the menu) smoked brisket. & for dessert, we had the beignets (the best donuts that you will ever taste in your whole life). Every single course of the meal which they make completely in house including the bread & the special butter was absolutely gorgeous & extremely flavourful that wakes up every single taste bud in your palate.
& our waiter Chris was very attentive & fantastic to us. One of our children has Celiac disease & cannot eat gluten so he could not eat any of the appetizers except one (Chris was also very knowledgeable about the gluten & the non-gluten menu choices as well btw.) & had to wait for his main dish which took a bit of time to arrive as the night was quite busy. When we asked if our child can have his plate first before the rest of us, Christ promptly went to the kitchen & got our child's dish to serve it to our child. & he even remembered that my child might not be used to the spiciness in the dish & they set the spicy sauce on the side so not to make the dish too spicy for him. My child ordered the Blackened Catfish & it was so delicious my child finished every single morsel on his plate even the vegetables asparagus. He finished the food so fast we couldn't even take a photo.
We are so glad that we found this place which is nestled away in a small plaza. It's one of our most enjoyable gastronomical experience inside a beautifully decorated dining room. It's our first time visiting this restaurant & tasting Southern comfort food New Orleans. We will definitely be back.
We went to Bistro Nola last night & had an excellent experience from start to finish.
We shared a few appetizers including the mac & cheese, fried chicken, & gumbo sausage, all were absolutely delicious & full of flavor. Perfect for sharing & a great way to start the meal.
For mains, we had the smoked brisket, braised short ribs, & blackened catfish. Every dish was cooked perfectly & packed with rich, authentic flavors.
Dessert was on another level. We tried the Mississippi mud pie, pain perdu, & beignets. Everything was amazing, but the Oreo mud pie really stood out.
Service was fast, friendly, & very smooth all evening. The restaurant was packed, so we were really glad we made a reservation.
Overall, great value, amazing food, & a fantastic atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.
Gumbo: Très bon, remplis de saveurs de qualités qui se mélange bien, très bien assaisonnées. Grosse portion. Note : 8.5
Mac & cheese : incroyablement bon, c'est le mac & cheese que l'on connaît avec les macaronis & le fromage, mais le goût est unique. J'en voulais plus. Note: 9.5
Brisket qui comprends purée de pomme de terre, champignons , oignon : bien tendre, la purée est juste incroyable, les champignons accompagnent parfaitement bien le brisket, je pense que les oignons étaient juste pour la décoration, sinon je l'aurais préféré plus croquant. Note : 8.5
Crevette créole servis avec riz épicés ( me rappelle le jollof rice) & légumes : c'est selon moi très épicés, mais mon compagnon l'a trouvé épicé mais tolérable. Remplis de saveurs qui se marient bien, très bon & la portion est parfaite. Note de mon compagnon 8.5
En tout, je reviendrai, très belle découverte de la cuisine de la Louisiane, on a bien voyagé. Les serveurs sont disponibles & à l'écoute, l'ambiance est romantique & pas trop bruyant. Merci à Domenique notre serveur.
On a pris de dessert, car on étaient bien remplis.

Vous pouvez manger pour $100 si vous prenez un seul entrée à deux & pas de dessert. Les prix sont assez abordable pour un restaurant haute qualité.

I absolutely enjoyed every single meal at Bistro Nolah! First of all, I had no reservations & was assuming I could just show up & be seated as it might not be too busy on a Sunday night but to my surprise it was full! Regardless & irrespective of the fact that I was not expecting them to accommodate us, they were able to make it work! The service was great & the food was even better. Everything was so hot & fresh when it came out. We started with the Mac & cheese, fried chicken, jambalaya & gumbo. Everything was delicious, I found the gumbo a little strong on flavour for my preference but the fried chicken was decadent. Perfect amount of chicken to batter ratio, very fresh & delicious honey glaze to top it off. For mains, we went with the jerk shrimp grits & braised short ribs. Both were delicious! Lastly, for dessert we enjoyed the bread pudding which was also delicious! Overall I would go back over & over just for the amazing food & service. It was beautiful to experience a little bit of NOLA here in Montreal!
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.
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
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.
We went on Saturday & ordered the hush puppies, shrimp creole, fried chicken, & Mississippi mud pie for dessert. I had the Hurricaine cocktail. Everything was delicious!! The staff is really friendly & attentive. Great place to eat!
My husband & I went to Bistro Nolah for our anniversary dinner. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're in a different place. The atmosphere is so zen, the decor brings you to New Orleans.
We have the grits & jambalaya as appetizers. I always wanted to try grits, but never had the chance. These grits will make you slap your mama. They are tasty, smooth & full of flavour. I could eat it morning, noon & dinner, with snacks in between. If I could, I would've sneaked in the kitchen to take the rest of it home.
The jambalaya has the perfect blend of spice & flavour.
Main course: brisket & catfish. The brisket comes with mashed potatoes & mushrooms, surrounded by two different types of sauce.
The catfish lays on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes.
Again, both dishes are packed with flavour & a right size portions.
Desserts: chocolate torte & bread pudding. One word: Decadent.
What I loved about the menu is the amount of gluten free items.
The food is well worth the price. Bravo Chef Richard! We will definitely return for brunch.
Decided to have a spontaneous night, drove here at 9:30 on a Friday night with my gf, forgot my Bistro Nolah gift card I received from my mom last Christmas, drove home to pick it up, drove back, just to be greeted unfortunately news by a waiter that their kitchen is closed & are only serving desserts & drinks at this time.
Ended up leaving & going elsewhere that also has indicated on google, closing time at 11:00pm (the same time as Nolah) but the kitchen was still serving food.
If I could reimburse a gift card & give the money back to my mom, I would
