Review Summary

Reviews describe L'Afrique de l'Est as a warm, family run spot delivering authentic Ethiopian cooking that consistently delights with injera that soaks up flavorful stews and a wide range of meat and vegetarian options. The experience is characterized by generous portions, a welcoming BYOB policy, and a homely, almost family gathering ambiance created by the couple running the place. The restaurant is also noted for catering large events with a huge variety of dishes that impress guests. Positive notes are balanced by concerns about price and portions for some diners, occasional long waits even when seating is available, and reports of a space that can feel a bit untidy with slow service in some visits. Overall, L'Afrique de l'Est is seen as a go to destination for truly authentic Ethiopian food in Montreal, especially for groups or couples seeking a warm, convivial, wine friendly meal and a memorable injera soaked experience.

5.0

I attended a party where this restaurant catered the food. I don't remember the specific dishes we had, but it didn't even matter because every single bite was delicious! I had never had Ethiopian food before, but I will definitely be having it again. I'm so glad I got to try something new from an authentic, locally owned spot!

Unassuming spot that is one of the best in the neighbourhood, serving flavourful, authentic, fresh food that's made with love & worth the wait. Lamb, ground beef, whitefish & lentil dishes were all highlights, served on a large platter with plenty of warm injera. The owners are so kind. & it's BYOB
