Nous y étions dimanche soir dernier pour célébrer un anniversaire. EXCELLENT service de la part du serveur, Kevin, & de toute l'équipe (la dame gérante & le jeune homme qui assistait le serveur, même le livreur croisé à l'entrée nous a accueilli avec chaleur! ). Non seulement nous étions attendus mais notre arrivée était préparée & nos moindre besoins anticipés. Le tout avec une immense gentillesse & politesse. À l'heure où le service s'est perdu dans plusieurs établissements montréalais, celui de l'équipe du Nil Bleu a contribué a égayer notre soirée. Nous les remercions tous & bien entendu, nous y retournerons.View more

I love Ethiopian food for their vegan dishes! The vegan tasting menu consist of:
a platter with 4 small appetizers
Bouticha: chick pea mousse
Yetiamtim salad: tomato salad (tangy & refreshing)
House salad: caramelized veggies (warm & sweet)
Yeberdjane: marinated eggplants (cold)
& 5 flavours served over Injera
Yekik Alicha: turmeric split peas
Zucchini Sire: zucchini & beets
Yatakelt Watt: carrots, potatoes & cabbage
Yemesser Watt: berbere lentils (spicy)
Gommen: spinach, onion & garlic
The stewed vegetables seasoned with spices are all delicious. For those who want gluten-free, they have rice or quinoa for substitution.
Ethiopian Sun is a mix of mango, orange, pineapple & peach juice.
It's a generous size dish. They also have vegan dessert but I was full. :PView more

From the moment we stepped inside Le Nil Bleu, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth & genuine hospitality. Located in the heart of Montreal, this gem of an Ethiopian restaurant exceeded all expectations & left a lasting impression on our entire family.
The service was, without a doubt, off the charts. We were greeted with such genuine enthusiasm & attentiveness that we immediately felt welcomed & valued. Our server was knowledgeable, patient in explaining the menu, & incredibly attentive throughout our meal, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. This level of service is a true testament to the dedication of the staff.
Beyond the exceptional service, the spotless cleanliness of Le Nil Bleu was truly remarkable. The entire restaurant, from the dining area to the immaculate bathrooms, was pristine. This attention to detail speaks volumes about the care & pride the owners take in their establishment.
& then there was the food… simply authentic & beyond all expectations. Each dish was a vibrant explosion of flavors, clearly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients & traditional techniques. The injera was perfectly spongy, the stews were rich & aromatic, & every bite was a delight. It was a true taste of Ethiopia, & we savored every moment. Even the coffee, a cornerstone of Ethiopian culture, was exceptional - a rich & aromatic end to a perfect meal.
Le Nil Bleu manages to be both quaint & upscale simultaneously. The ambiance is charming & inviting, with thoughtful touches that elevate the dining experience. From the tasteful décor to the subtle details in presentation, it's clear that every aspect of this restaurant has been carefully considered to create a memorable occasion.
If you're looking for an authentic Ethiopian culinary experience in Montreal, look no further than Le Nil Bleu. It's more than just a meal; it's an experience. We left feeling completely satisfied, impressed, & already planning our return. Highly, highly recommended!View more

Interesting experience! You receive small portions of food on a big crepe that you use to grab the vegetables & meat. The menu is filled with diverse tasty Ethiopian dishes. (the prices are pretty high though) The waiters were very kind & the restaurant is clean & nicely decorated. Would absolutely recommend the Doro Watt, chicken with berbéré sauce.View more

Excellente découverte!
Nous avons recemment soupe au Nil Bleu & tout était parfait - la cuisine éthiopienne authentique, l'ambiance chaleureuse & le service attentionné. Chaque plat était savoureux & bien présenté, avec un équilibre subtil d'épices. Le personnel était accueillant & prêt à expliquer les spécialités du menu, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui cherchent une expérience culinaire différente & mémorable!View more
