Review Summary

Le Nil Bleu in Montreal delivers a warm, refined Ethiopian dining experience with a welcoming service and a cozy yet stylish ambiance that many reviews describe as transporting and intimate. The menu features a generous tasting approach that showcases a spectrum of flavors, with a shared injera centerpiece, richly spiced stews, and a range of vegan options that satisfy both meat lovers and vegetarians. Cocktails and wines complement the dishes, and the desserts provide a polished finish to each meal. The staff are repeatedly praised for knowledge, attentiveness, and friendly hospitality, making occasions feel special whether dining as a couple, with friends, or with family. The atmosphere, decor and music often earn compliments for being calm, elegant and inviting, and the option to dine on a terrace is noted as a pleasant bonus. Some comments mention slower service at times or portions that could be larger for bigger groups, but overall the experience is described as consistently delicious, well presented, and memorable with an emphasis on authenticity, freshness and hospitality.

Je recommande chaudement. C'est ma table préférée à Montréal. Des mets délectables accompagnés d'un service attentionné. Les choix vegan valent le détour.

Très belle expérience. Le décor mériterait d'être un peu moins lounge & un peu plus cohérent avec l'expérience culinaire. Mais sinon tout était parfait.

The food is very good & an enjoyable experience.
It's unfortunate that the cocktail I had before diner upset my stomach.
It's usually due to low quality alcohol.
I had the Blue Nil.

I had the vegan platter, a cocktail, & something chocolate-pecan for dessert. Everything was delicious, service was attentive despite how busy they were, & the atmosphere is lovely.

Super service ! Menu varié & délicieux. Ambiance calme & romantique. Ils ont même compris que c'était pour un anniversaire & nous on apporté un shooter sans que l'on ne demande rien. :)
