I passed by this place twice today, i peaked in everyone was dressed causual & i was wearing a pair of shorts & a megadeth tshirt. So i walked in & said im not underdressed am i & the guy said nope i love megadeth lol. So we sat down & waiter took our order & said that he loved megadeth too. & i said to my son, im starting to like this place lol. The bartender brought me my drink & i kid you not, said nice shirt lol.
Anyways.. ill be honest i walked in & besides the steak skewers i had no clue what anything was at all. So i took a chance on the steak skewers & beef & lamb kefta. So the food came & i took a bite of the beef lamb sausage... perfect amount of spice & flavor & then i took a bite with the garnish which was packed with flavor. Then took a bite with the sauce. Excellent. Every bite was perfect. Same with the steak skewers meat was soft perfectly cooked & seasoned. The plates are small but are perfect.
My son had the large plate braised lamb. Again another flavorfull dish. Perfect size.
For dessert we had the chocolate bread [dont remember the name of it]. Soft nice chew lots of flavor & not too sweet.
Meal was excellent, service was great & everyone working was right on.
This is cozy dining place located near Westmount square. The service is good. Food was unexpectedly delicious. The plates were well prepared & presented & fresh. Chou salade was really tasty & crisp. The first pita with Labneh was a bit dry but still tasty; the second one was soft/literally fresh off the oven. The Beef skewers are so tender & juicy. Chicken schiztel was a big portion & very good. The baked rice did not taste much. Definitely coming back to try more.
very cute & lively restaurant, the service we got from Gabriel was fantastic, he checked in on all all night. Food was lovely as well, we got the hummus, grilled halloumi, braised lamb, crushed potatoes & the steak skewer.

Absolutely lovely dinner! I came with my family & kids & we loved all the plates. The schnitzel is 10/10 along with the potatoes, pita & hummus. My kids loved the steak skewers. Will recommend & will be back! My friends went the same week after my recommendation & loved it too!
I had an amazing experience at KifKif. The service was very good, with all the staff attentive & making sure we enjoyed the experience. The place itself is beautiful, a nice atmosphere with cool Israeli pictures. The food itself was delicious, amazing hummus, fluffy warm pita & the salmon skewer was delicious! The only thing is the portions are pretty small for the price, so you need a lot of dishes. The halloumi also was a little rubbery.
I would definitely go back for a special occasion!
Had a fantastic girls' night at Kif Kif! The food, service, & overall vibe were all excellent. The restaurant is beautiful, with a fun, lively atmosphere. Cocktails & wine were great. I had the chicken skewers with an amazing crunchy slaw, & also got to taste some delicious hummus with pita. The chocolate babka was a hit. Nidiné was a wonderful hostess & made the experience even better. Would absolutely recommend!
Sampled: vegetable slaw, pita with tomato & cheese-like a mini pizza, eggplant spread-served with pita, chicken skewers with yogurt sauce, beet salad, chocolate babka. Meal was great! Went early so it was quiet. Lovely ambience. Looking forward to trying their lunch menu.
The ambiance was delightfully relaxed with soft lighting & background music. We were greeted enthusiastically, & our coats were checked efficiently. Every dish we picked was exquisite - hard to pick a favourite.
The braised lamb, salmon skewers, & Moroccan cigars were favourites. The serving staff were friendly & efficient. Highly recommended! We will certainly be
back!
A wonderful dining experience!7
I was heavily anticipating a delicious meal & our entire party was not even close to being disappointed. In fact, Kif Kif was able to take us on a Mediterranean journey unique unto its own. From the moment we walked in & were greeted by Nadine (hostess) & Dan himself (chef who happened to be up front at the time) to the extremely courteous service of our sever Abby, the hospitality was perfect. Of course, the true highlight was the series of dishes we were treated to. The dips are a must (all three). Hummous was creamy & authentic, the Muhammara was a table favorite & the carried eggplant was out of this world. But what really tied it all together was the pastry like Pita bread that came out of an authentic Italian oven, piping hot & fresh & would literally melt in your mouth.
We then moved on to other divine sharing dishes like the ever so tender flank steak skewers, the signature chicken schnitzel & the raw salmon which makes any other ceviche look mundane & plain. The meal was also complemented with crunchy slaw, smashed potoes & a fantastic zucchini labneh side that popped.
Mission accomplished...everyone was stuffed, but you know what they say:'Everyone has room for dessert'. So we indulged & we went with Dan's suggestions. The table shared the chocolate Terrie with Halva, a milk pudding drizzled with the perfect amount of rose water, & a chocolate Babke which was the star of the show.
We rolled out of Kif Kif extremely satisfied needless to say & with the wine (& a cocktail) the bill seemed fair. Thank you again to Dan & his team. If you have not yet experienced this local wonder, you should make your rezzie now. We will be back 10000%.
Our family had the absolute pleasure of dining at Kif Kif during our visit to Montreal, & it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We discovered the restaurant online the day before & decided to stop by in person to check availability. Not only were we warmly greeted, but we had the chance to meet the manager, Pierre, who made us feel instantly welcome. When we returned for dinner tonight, he greeted us with the same kindness, setting a wonderful tone for the evening.
The moment we walked in, the restaurant looked absolutely stunning - beautifully prepared & ready for guests. Within minutes of opening, the space filled up, a clear sign that this place is well-loved. We were taken care of by Avalon, an incredibly lovely, kind, & attentive host who made us feel at home from start to finish.
We ordered a selection of dishes to share: hummus, Moroccan cigars, green salad, & three types of skewers - chicken, salmon, & beef. Truly, every single dish was exceptional. Each plate was thoughtfully prepared, rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, & beautifully presented. You can feel the care & passion in every bite.
Kif Kif is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression. The warm hospitality, stunning atmosphere, & delicious food all came together to create an unforgettable experience. We'll absolutely be returning on our next trip to Montreal.
Thank you, Kif Kif team, for such a wonderful evening, & wishing you all the very best!
