The Blue Nile was recommended to us, so we went while enjoying an overnight in Montreal. It was a warm evening in October, & we were seated by the front window with a great view on Rue Denis. The serving staff & chef were exceptionally attentive, & the food & drinks were delicious. I look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommended.

Our experience was truly delicious. The atmosphere was inviting & our waiters were adorable... I mean great LOL. We enjoyed the vegetarian sampler for 3. The quality & quantity was perfect for the 3 of us. I understand why reservations are recommended.

Authentic flavourful food, great price, & excellent ambiance. The owner, Lidya, was so kind & shared her experience with me. The staff is uber professional & attentive. I often order through UberEats to support local businesses, but got to visit in person for the first time this past Saturday, & so glad I did. Highly recommend!

Je suis venue manger le mercredi soir avec deux personnes de mon entourage. Ce n'était pas prévu mais la curiosité & les nombreux avis ont joué sur notre choix. C'était la première fois qu'on testait la cuisine éthiopienne . Agréablement surprise ! Encore merci à Romain qui s'est occupé de nous tout au long du repas & qui a su nous faire des très bonnes recommandations. Trés bon restaurant de qualité avec des saveurs inimitables !

Very good Ethiopian food. They use only teff injera, keeping it thin. Vegan mix (lentils, veg etc) & ribs good, excellent kitfo. Spicing & preparation slightly adjusted for Canada, but done well (other Ethiopian restaurants are sometimes heavy-handed with spices or oil...not here). Service was excellent, warm & helpful. Nice atmosphere. Recommended!
