We had the most lovely & delicious meal. The people that work here are extremely accommodating & make you feel welcome. We stayed in the hotel above the restaurant for two nights & wish we could have spent a week. Highly recommend both the restaurant & the hotel!

Une expérience absolument sans faute au Nil Bleu. De l'accueil chaleureux au service attentionné, tout était impeccable. L'assiette est aussi belle que savoureuse & l'accord avec le vin était tout simplement parfait. Le rapport qualité prix demeure imbattable pour une telle finesse. Véritable institution montréalaise, c'est un incontournable que je recommande sans aucune hésitation. Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette soirée mémorable !

I've been dining at Le Nil Blue for nearly nine years, & it remains one of those rare places that never disappoints. The atmosphere is elegant & welcoming, with a high-class feel that still manages to be comfortable & relaxed. The staff are always kind, attentive, & genuinely friendly, which makes every visit enjoyable.
One thing that always stands out is the cleanliness of the restaurant - everything is well kept & organized, which adds to the overall quality of the experience. The food is excellent, full of flavor & depth. Their dishes have a real punch to them, with a special blend of spices that brings out incredible taste, especially in their vegetarian options, which are seasoned beautifully.
What impresses me even more is their consistency. Despite the high quality of food & service, they have kept their prices reasonable &, as far as I can remember, they haven't changed them in the nine years I've been coming here. That kind of honesty & dedication to customers is rare today.
Blue is truly a gem - great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff, & remarkable value. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
