If you're looking for the best Ethiopian food in Montreal, look no further than Blue Nile! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was truly exceptional. Nedia went above & beyond, making us feel like valued guests. She even walked us out personally & thanked us for coming-such a thoughtful touch! As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. The vegetarian options were bursting with flavor, especially the gomen, which was absolutely the best I've ever had. Each dish was perfectly spiced, fresh, & beautifully presented, making it clear that the chefs at Blue Nile know exactly what they're doing. The entire experience-amazing food, impeccable service, & a welcoming ambiance-earned them a solid 5 stars in my book. Highly recommend this gem to anyone craving authentic, delicious Ethiopian cuisine in Montreal!

Absolutely incredible restaurant. The food, the vibes, the staff were all amazing. Definitely one of my top meals of 2024. We had the tasting plate & if I could've licked the plate I would've. Definitely recommend for a date night or with friends. Also the price & the quality of the food is fantastic too. Thank you Nil Bleu!

Un très bon éthiopien qui remplit presque toutes les cases. Deux mini bémols : niveau service, c'est très impersonnel & peu en rapport avec la culture. Niveau confort, certaines banquettes ont une mauvaise assise. Pour le reste, on valide à 100%

The food was so flavourful & colourful. Our waiter Kevin was top notch. The service was incredible. We can't wait to come back. The entrees were beautifully presented as well. My favourite was the lamb & crispy fried beef but every single item was delicious. What a wonderful experience for our table of 11 people.

this is a beautiful restaurant, & the service & the food are well-aligned with the atmosphere. from the hot towels (you will be eating with your hands after all) to the cocktails (yum!) to the mixed plates of delicious, well-spiced food & rolls of the sourdough bread, injera, everything was delicious. no room for dessert, though!

Une belle découverte lors d'un diner d'affaire. Ambiance feutrée & agréable, décoration raffinée, service excellent, courtois & sympathique, & cuisine pleine de saveurs & de surprises. De plus, au regard de l'endroit & de la qualité du service & de la cuisine, nous avons trouvé les tarifs extrêmement raisonnable. Bravo à toute l'équipe du Nil Bleu, nous ne pouvons que vous recomander & revenir bientôt!

This place is among two of my favourite Ethiopian restaurants in Canada! As a vegetarian person of Indian origin, this to me feels like soul food! Absolutely incredible!
