Great decor & atmosphere! More importantly, the food was excellent. My brother & I had the tasting menu & we enjoyed the variety of flavors. We'll be back.
Decore was lovely, food was delicious, our server was remote, perhaps tired. Unfortunately the restrooms are down a long slippery set of stairs with no grab bars in the stalls which makes it difficult for mobility less abled people.

Quite simply, this restaurant is superb. Having been to Ethiopia itself several times, we can say the food at Le Nil Bleu is as good as - & often better than - the dishes served up in the restaurants of Addis Ababa! The decor of the place is calm & charming, the service impeccable & the ambience just right...above all, the food is exquisite &, for us, it's a must-visit destination each time we visit Montreal. A true gem.
Food & service was amazing! I came here for my birthday with two friends. Damien, our server, was awesome! He explains some of the dishes, told us about the Afro-Jazz nights on Fridays. Best service I've ever had! The restaurant is nicely decorated & clean. Highly recommended!!
This was our first experience with Ethiopian food & we really enjoyed it. The ambiance / decor was nice & we were able to take the Sampler platter which allowed us to try a variety of different dishes at a very reasonable price.

Excellent service efficace & sympathique. Nourriture excellente & quantité généreuse. Décor agréable, pas trop bruyant, il est facile de tenir une conversation. Propreté impeccable.

La nourriture? EXCELLENTE!
Nous avons choisi les plats de dégustation végétalien & laissez moi vous dire que c'était simplement magnifique. Les portions sont généreuses & les assaisonnements sont très savoureux.
Nous avons bien aimé notre expérience.

Ce restaurant est un bijoux. Non seulement la bouffe est très variée & savoureuse, mais le décor a beaucoup de classe. On croirait un restaurant au menu coûteux, ce qui n'est pas le cas du tout. De plus, nous avons eu un service hors pair de Damian. C'est certain qu'on va en parler à nos amis & qu'on y retournera.
Excellent petit restaurant ethnique! Délicieux ! J'adore le pain injera qui est la base de tous les repas éthiopiens. Service un peu lent quand nous y sommes allés hier, mais autrement courtois.
Prix raisonnables. Joli décor...

Décor faisant écho à l'Afrique. Serviettes humides chaudes avec odeur d'épices ouvrant l'appétit. Présentation originale des plats typiques & menu découverte avec différentes saveurs bien dosées . Belle expérience de partage de repas à la mode éthiopienne ( sans ustensile). Très propre.
Attente à la porte de 45min malgré notre réservation. Temps entre les services de plus de 35min. Niveau sonore très élevé malgré l'ambiance feutrée. Une petite attention ex une boisson à l'entrée, des bouchées entre les longs services pour compenser ces longs moments d' attente auraient été apprécié.
Nous y retournerons mais pas un samedi ou un vendredi!
Love this place! Brought a friend for her first experience & she loved everything about it! The service is friendly & professional, the decor is beautiful & the food is amazing with exotic flavours in every bite. I'll keep on coming here & bringing new people to discover this place.
Service impeccable, décor chaleureux & moderne, nourriture fantastique, bonne carte des vins, super localisation à 3 min du metro sherbrooke.
Très bon choix pour les végétariens, intolérance au lactose, intolérances au gluten, allergies aux arachides.
Bravo!
