Nil Bleu is amazing! We stayed at the neighbouring Kutuma hotel during our visit to Montreal. The flavours were well balanced & thoughtful. It was shared with us that the spices are imported from Ethiopia & you can tell, each dish was so delicious. Highly recommend!

This is a jewel in the heart of Montreal. I came with the idea that I was going to enjoy a good meal … but what I experienced went far beyond my expectations. Bravo to the chef !

Le Nil Bleu, c'est une parenthèse hors du temps, une immersion savoureuse entre l'Afrique de l'Est & l'Inde, un festival de goûts authentiques, audacieux & parfaitement maîtrisés. Une adresse à recommander les yeux fermés, mais les papilles grandes ouvertes.
Il est des lieux où l'on ne se contente pas de manger : on voyage, on respire une culture, on touche du doigt une tradition. Le Nil Bleu, restaurant éthiopien installé au coeur de la ville, est de ceux-là. Dès l'entrée, les parfums envoûtants de gingembre, cardamome, cumin & berbère vous accueillent comme une promesse tenue.
La cuisine éthiopienne y est à la fois généreuse, raffinée & délicatement relevée, avec des accents indiens qui viennent subtilement enrichir l'expérience. Le fameux injera, cette crêpe moelleuse & légèrement acidulée, sert de base à une explosion de saveurs : lentilles mijotées, ragoûts épicés, légumes parfumés… chaque bouchée est un chapitre d'un roman culinaire.
Mention spéciale pour le doro wat, un plat de poulet aux oeufs durs baignant dans une sauce épaisse & piquante, à la fois intense & équilibrée. On y retrouve l'audace des mélanges d'épices, la chaleur du foyer, & ce petit quelque chose de mystérieux propre aux cuisines transmises de génération en génération.
Le service, tout en sourire & en attention, ajoute à la richesse de l'expérience. Ici, la tradition ne s'impose pas, elle s'invite à votre table, avec une élégance naturelle & une grande hospitalité.

Unbeatable experience for Ethiopian food. The atmosphere of the place & the presentation of flavours are all perfect.
Personally I think the tasting menu is the way to go, you get to experience a little bit of everything. We had it for 3 people & it was delicious. The cocktails were nice too.
I had one drink + the tasting menu, & paid $66 after tip. The price point is higher than other spots, but it really is a beautiful space, well made good & excellent service. Worth going!

This was my third time going. Since learning about Le Nil Bleu it has become a must go restaurant every time I come to Montréal. Food is fabulous, service is always really nice, atmosphere is relaxed & fun. If I had any complaint, it would be that some of the tables can be a bit crowded, but it's a small restaurant, which is part of the charm, so it's no big deal. I only mention it because I am 6 feet four inches tall (1.93m) so with some tables my chair feels like I'm in the way, but it has never seemed to be a problem to staff or others, so maybe I'm just over thinking it? Upshot is, this place is absolutely wonderful. Also, don't sleep on their speciality cocktails. I'm particularly fond of the Mango Mule.

Magnifique pour tous les sens.
Un accueil chaleureux, une décoration douce, une musique sublime, le paradis pour le palais avec le mélange des épices berbères sans oublier la présentation recherchées des plats. Une équipe attentionnée, toujours aux soins des clients. Cela a été une soirée merveilleuse...le paradis. Un moment inoubliable , je vous le recommande!
