Really beautiful food, kind service, lovely people & a pretty terrace. Thoroughly enjoyed our supper here. The lamb with turmeric (Yebeg Alicha) was my favourite but I'm glad we got the tasting menu so I got to try so many great dishes!

Everything is so flavourful & is served quickly & with care. The staff are amazing & you really feel taken care of. I got the Doro Watt & Lamb Alicha - both offered a little something different & were so so good.
Trust me - Have a dinner at Nil Bleu & walk in Lafontaine afterwards. Perfect night

Had a great stay at Kutuma! Staff are super welcoming & friendly. Our room was lovely & spotlessly clean. Location was great, less than 5 mins to the metro which will take you all over town. Would recommend!

Un resto très sympa pour une sortie en amoureux ou entre amis. Le menu dégustation permet de goûter à un peu de tout. Belle décoration & propre. Les serveurs sont très à l'écoute & servent de l'eau à volonté.

Le Nil Bleu went above & beyond for myself & my group of 14. We were celebrating my birthday, & they provided an entire private basement for us with excellent service & food. Definitely coming back next year!
