Beautiful chic decor. Amazing food. Fantastic cocktails. Wonderful experience. You need to like different spices & flavours in order to truly appreciate the experience. Highly recommend the tasting menu !
We first discovered Le Nil Bleu when staying at the Kutama Hotel ( which we also recommend). We had never tasted Ethiopian food before & it was love at first bite! This trip we were in Montreal for 2 nights & it was our dinner choice for the first evening.
Food is exotic & very flavourful. Service is friendly with just the right amount of attentiveness.
We highly recommend Le Nil Bleu!!

I've been going to this restaurant since 2003. The only thing that has changed is the decor. The food - is the same quality year after year. Not many restaurants keep good things going, they always feel the need to change things. Here, I was crazy for this food then, & I'm still as crazy for this food now. Always amzingly tasty, awesome portions in a very exotic decor. HIGHLY recommended - FOREVER recommended !
Simply the best Ethopian cuisine west of Addis Ababa & north of Washington, DC. Amazing offerings, lovely ambience & superior service ... have had nothing but amazing times there for nearly 30 years. Highly recommend checking it out (or returning if you're already a devotee)!
Absolutely amazing! We came here for a bachelorette & our party consisted of both vegans & non-vegans & everybody was blown away by the selection & how good the food was.
Highly recommend the tasting menu (both vegan & regular). Incredibly selection of dishes on both & they have a nice balance of protein & vegetables.
Live the Nil Bleu! Lots of flavours & soooo delicious! My favourite dishes are Tatare with 28 spices & the Beef cooked with onions & spices, woww! Highly recommend

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!!
I went here last night for my Birthday. We ordered the tasting menu & it was amazing. We paired it with several drinks & it made for a wonderful night. They brought me a small dessert with a sparkler & sang for me. It was very nice & we will be returning again. I highly recommend this restaurant
We visited the restaurant to celebrate our anniversary & I have to say the staff made the night memorable! We were given the best table in the house by the window facing Rue St. Denis & from the moment we walked in were made to feel special. Each server made sure to acknowledge our anniversary, & our main server even made us complimentary drinks which we superb to celebrate the occasion. The food - spectacular! We had the tasting menu which I'd highly recommend - it was wonderful blend of spices. We will definitely be returning in the future.
