Food was Delicious. Prices were high. I have been to comparable Ethiopian restaurants where prices were half or less.

Nil Bleu/Blue Nile is superb - so good, we went twice during the same trip to Montréal! Beautifully prepared Ethiopian food in an elegant, comfortable space, with friendly, attentive service. The two-course tasting menu offered a great selection of nine dishes from the larger menu - all were excellent & beautifully presented, with the Kitfo & eggplant appetizer both standing out. The Yebeg Alicha is now my all-time favourite lamb dish, anywhere (& the reason we went back & ordered à la carte!). The menu also offers extensive vegan/vegetarian options, & the drinks were top notch. Can't wait to go back!

Growing up in Ethiopia, I know what authentic Ethiopian food should taste like. My meal at Nil Bleu on St-Denis in Montreal truly brings back those memories every time we dine there. The food is always absolutely finger-licking good, the injera was perfect, & the spicy flavors were spot on.

Even my Canadian grandchildren loved the experience of eating Ethiopian style. A wonderful & authentic dining experience. Highly recommended.
