Rarely a restaurant will fill 5 stars out of five on all levels. Le Nil Bleu is one of this 5 stars. Despite the 30 years restaurant's lifelong, i didn't know about it. A small place beside a small hotel. PROS: 1. The decor is luxurious, upper & lower level, even the corridor to the bathroom & the bathroom itself are nicely decorated
2. Spotless clean everywhere; before the meal, we were handed white warm towels on a plate to clean our hands
3. I took the tasting dish, so small quantities to taste a bit of everything. It was delicious, flavourful, i couldn't finish the second plate, i was full.
4. The waiters are bilingual, very respectfull, they explain every dish.
Thank you Francis & thank you Stefano, who came out in the street with me to help with parking details.
5. Paid street parking or free after 9 pm

Sans conteste notre restaurant préféré à Montréal. Tout y est parfait : le personnel est toujours gentil & serviable, la cuisine est excellente, le cadre est soigné & calme.

Le menu dégustation est un bon moyen de découvrir la gastronomie éthiopienne lors de sa première visite. Pour notre part, Yebeg Alicha & Yebeg Watt étaient ensuite nos plats préférés. Leurs desserts valent également le détour !
