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!
Good experience at Kifkif, could have been great.
The schnitzel, the grilled zucchinis, hummus & eggplant dips were really good. The salmon crudo was also super fresh & tasty.
We did feel like the service felt rushy sometimes. Taking out the plate right after we finished the last bite is not very pleasant. Why the rush, I would have loved to get another spoon of the green sauce!
The desserts were a miss because we did not have the full description : the chocolate terrine was actually chocolate & olive oil (bold combination but unfortunately not to our taste), the almond cake was actually almond & labneh (again not really to our taste).
The babka however was a great way to finish the night.

Restaurant is beautiful inside, staff is so friendly & kind & the food is absolutely amazing. The pita bread, dips & meats are fantastic. Great spot in Westmount,
We loved the food & atmosphere here! We sat at the bar & talked to the bartender a lot, she was super attentive! The muhammara & eggplant dips were delicious. We got the schnitzel as our main & loved that too! We're already planning to come back to try more things on the menu.
Servers seemed overwhelmed
The place is modern, tables packed together, no thought put into noise reduction.
Wrong rests for the 95 yr old couple I dined with.
Food was excellent, but no explanation that only one pita came with each dip.
Une excellente expérience dans ce nouveau restaurant de Westmount. Cuisine délicieuse, service courtois & sympathique. Les dips sont magnifiques & que dire des cigares marocains. Il est certain que nous allons revenir!
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%.
