What a delightful experience. We had the tasting menu & every single item had an interesting & unique flavor to it. The staff are lovely. The restaurant is actually on two floors, so there is ample seating & the atmosphere stays calm & quiet

I didn't know what to expect having never had Ethipian food but boy was I surprised, it was an amazing experience, staff was great & the food even better.

Great restaurant to discover Ethiopian food through their discovery menu in a more formal setting. The waiter took in our spice tolerance levels into account & subbed the spicier items on the menu (berbere chicken) with a less spicy protein option. It was very tolerable, & so he welcomed us to come back & try the chicken versions next time.

They have a vegetarian friendly menu & the waiter explains everything that's on our plates, from a meat tartare, lamb stews, sautéed beef, salads & lentils/pea options. All served on a platters with traditional sourgum'crepe'. Enjoy the meal eating eith your hands, or ask for utensils if that's what you prefer. The shared meal was very filling.

Dessert options were more'western' & rich: chocolate-passion fruit mousse cake, chocolate & pecan cake, lemon & matcha tart or a coconut & white chocolate square.

Le Nil Bleu is guaranteed to exceed expectations, & most recently rolled out the red carpet for a special & unforgettable evening.

All it took was the simplest form of advance notice, via'Her favourite place for Her birthday'... & their team took care of everything in nothing less than a world-class & high quality way.

Supreme cuisine, stellar service, & the most sublime ambience that could be hoped for. Bravo, encore +1

Je viens depuis 19 ans à Montréal - j'ai pris mes habitudes sur le Plateau, sur Saint Denis & cette année j'ai découvert le NIL BLEU - une restauration excellente - une de mes trois préférées de Montréal - en plus de la restauration, le lieu pour y séjourner est parfait - les suites sont parfaites pour un déplacement professionnel. merci
