Suite à la recommandation d'amis, j'ai décidé d'essayer le Nil Bleu. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le décor, malgré l'étroitesse des tables & chaises (un peu compliqué de circuler). Le service était parfait & très courtois. La présentation des plats étaient très bien, les crêpes étaient délicieuses & originalement servies que j'ai bien aimé manger avec les doigts (une serviette humide était très utiles). J'avoue par contre que c'était un peu cher pour les variétés de nourritures.
À refaire !?!? pas sûre!

EXCELLENT food! Ambiance not quite as nice on lower floor (as main level). Women's washroom very cold, & only cold water available.

J'aime beaucoup la nourriture du Nil Bleu. C'est une belle expérience culinaire & belle ambiance.

Par contre, nous étions proche de la sortie d'urgence avec une réservation. J'ai trouvé cela désagréable. Il faisait froid & on était loin de tout.

Le spécial st valentin offrait une table d'hôte avec comme dessert une fondue au chocolat pour 15$ de plus. Je croyais que c'était une fondue servie à la table. Il fallait se déplacer jusqu'à l'avant du restaurant pour deux brochettes de fruit & le chocolat n'était pas fameux.

La nourriture était excellente. La présentation originale. Mais pour un repas du midi, le prix exorbitant qui a été chargé était identique à celui que l'on charge le soir. Le local était peu chauffé & nous avons gelés des pieds & des mains. Je ne pense pas y retourner.
