We had a fabulous experience in the private dining room. The service was great, & the food was delicious. The team was incredibly easy to work with & so accommodating to all of our needs.
The room itself is really nice, with plenty of space for a sit-down dinner as well as separate little lounge areas for guests to hang out. There's also a very nice, private bathroom right off the room, which is convenient & a great added touch.
We will definitely book there again. We've also dined in the restaurant many times & have always had wonderful experiences.
Bella was an amazing server. Super friendly, attentive, & on point the whole time. She made the experience way better with her great energy & solid recommendations. Easily one of the best I've had!
Nous avons fait beaucoup de restaurants à Montréal & je dois admettre avoir été déçu lors de notre visite. Nous y sommes allés suite à une critique dans La Presse. Le service était plutôt prétentieux, très impersonnel & à notre arrivée, nous sentions qu'il fallait se dépêcher. Suite à une discussion avec le serveur, nous avons constaté un changement de ton mais l'attitude restait plutôt froide. Je préfère les restaurants où l'ambiance est chaleureuse & accueillante & je n'ai pas trouvé ces qualités chez Kif kif. De plus, les choix de pourboire était 18%. L'option 15% n'y était pas. Il fallait entrer le tout manuellement si nous voulions laisser 15% ou moins... Plutôt gênant de calculer devant le serveur. Je laisse toujours un pourboire. C'est vraiment la première fois où j'avais envie de ne pas en donner. J'aurais dû. Puisque je suis plutôt gentil & poli, j'ai donné 18%. Ce n'était pas du tout mérité.
The starter were good with nice pita & muhammara. Everything else was incredible mediocre. The chicken schnitzel was WAY too thick. The drinks were decent. I wouldn't return too much other good food in MTL.
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.
I'm leaving this review after my second time at Kif Kif & I promise I will be back. The food is exceptional. We were 4, ordered 8 dishes to split & a cocktail each. Everything was delicious! The hummus was creamy & perfectly seasoned, the muhammara (walnut pepper dip) naturally & wonderfully sweet, the falafel rich in flavour yet not too oily, the schnitzel perfectly cooked & just the right kind of crispy... The vibe of the restaurant is intimate & slightly chic without being overly over the top fancy. Just the right kind of place for a night out with friends, or a loved one. I'll definitely be back to re-order everything & try the rest of the menu.
Oh, & the pitas! O.M.G. Freshly baked in their stove oven, stretchy, aromatic, just incredible. Order an extra one, you won't regret it.
The food isn't cheap but it's worth it. You can taste quality in each & every dish. Also, you can find some parking on a street right behind the restaurant. I'm glad it's not in the Plateau - parking & accessibility is so much easier!
I had a great dinner at Kif Kif last night. The food was flavourful, fresh, & delicious. The service was excellent, & I enjoyed the space. We ordered a bunch of items, but the highlights were the hot, perfectly charred pita bread & the super creamy hummus. Falafel was crunchy, & tasty too. I'd like to go back & try more dishes. Thank you Kif Kif!
