Nous avons appelé notre restaurant Bistro Nolah, un diminutif de Nouvelle Orléans, par amour de la cuisine réconfortante servie dans le sud des États-Unis. Ce style de nourriture sera l'inspiration derrière certains plats qui seront servis chez Nolah.
Les avis convergent autour de Bistro Nolah, une expérience culinaire sudiste à Montréal, associant une cuisine créole et cajun authentique à une ambiance intime et chaleureuse rappelant la Nouvelle-Orléans. Les plats phares comme le gumbo, le shrimp and grits, la jambalaya, le fried chicken et le brisket bénéficient d'arômes riches et d'assemblages équilibrés, tandis que les accompagnements tels que les hush puppies et les beignets, ainsi que les desserts comme le bread pudding et le banana cheesecake flambé, font souvent l'unanimité. Le service est décrit comme attentif et professionnel et l'ambiance est conviviale, parfaite pour une soirée en amoureux, entre amis ou pour une célébration; la terrasse estivale est aussi très appréciée. Le brunch est fréquemment loué comme une excellente raison de revenir, même si certaines critiques soulignent que les informations sur les heures d'ouverture en ligne peuvent prêter à confusion et que le cadre reste petit et animé. Dans l'ensemble, la qualité constante, les portions généreuses et la présentation soignée convainquent les visiteurs de revenir, faisant de cet endroit une référence sur l'île.
Food decent & place is small. Don't ever go to celebrate & bring your own cake. Despite spending close to 600 for 5 people, they won't even let you take your cake out & take photos....not the most welcoming place I've ever experienced.

This Bistro is top notch , as a former chef & I can spot a good place. Our server was very well knowledged in all the menu items. The black& white photographs on there wall of New Orleans were a nice touch to the great food & excellent service . In my experience restaurant owners must be hands on & in this establishment 3 of the owners work daily. I spoke with Richard ( 1 owner) who was expediting the food , congratulating him & the staff for excellent meal & 5 star service.
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.
5/5 would visit again. I wasn't impressed with the crab cake appetizer. I enjoyed the shrimp & grits. The food surpassed the service. The waitress did not check in often so that meant getting our bill took a long time.
Absolutely outstanding experience at Bistro Nolah! The food was exceptional-flavourful, beautifully presented, & perfect for sharing. The staff were warm, attentive, & genuinely pleasant throughout our visit. We sat on the patio, which was gorgeous & cozy with its twinkle lights adding the perfect touch. Every appetizer we tried was delicious-this place truly delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!

Amazing service, delicious food & easy parking in parking lot! I would recommend Bistro Nolah for southern dishes !! I came yesterday with a friend for the first time, & we tried the hush puppies, peach &beets salad as appetizers. Our main dish was the blackened Catfish (my favorite & good spices!!) & the Braised short ribs (Tender & tasty) both were very good! Comming back soon :)
Best restaurant in the west island. It is my special treat few times a year! When esting inside, it can be a bit too dark & loud but it is also a small restaurant. Love it!
Realizing why this restaurant is so highly rated! Definitely deserved!
Partners Chris & Richard are totally invested in the smooth running of this great place. We sat at the bar, which was only available shortly before leaving work. Lucky us as we enjoy eating out, we were able to get a real feel for the place & chat with Chris. Myself, I realized I was in a little trouble ordering the jambalaya appetizer - really tasty but a little heavy for me. I ate too much. So when my entree came'blackened catfish'served on a bed of mash sweet potato accompanied with lovely fresh beans etc, I could barely finish. My bad. Food is amazing. Service great. Ambiance ; top notch. So, make sure you call & reserve - then enjoy

So 2 years ago I wrote the review above - thought it was time to update !
We have found our favourite go-to place when we need to feel spoiled ! Ahh the food is wonderful & the staff is really attentive & accommodating. Being Gluten Free- I present challenges which are quickly solved with absolute success- a big thank you to friends who keep us happily fed!!!
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

Thank you to all of the attentive & lovely staff who made brunch an unforgettable experience for our family & one of our highlights of visiting Montreal. Food was outstanding, hats off to the phenomenal chef!
Always a hit at Bistro Nolah! The food deserved a standing ovation. I had the lamb shank with oyster mushrooms & my wife had the seared scallops on a bed of sweet potatoe mash & pearled couscous. Service was also impeccable. Definitely recommend!
Decided to try bistro nolah, they defied my already high expectations, the hush puppies were delicious, but the cat fish was incredible, paired with the incredible service of our server Kelsey, would definitely sat it was a great experience I cannot wait to have again, thank you Bistro Nolah!
Best brunch spot in Montreal! We started off with Bread Pudding Pancakes & levitated to heaven. Then we got the Southern grits with poached eggs & chorizo & the angels started singing. By the time we finished our guava mimosa & the pancake bourbon sauce we couldn't come back down. Coming back fosho 🥞
