La nourriture était délicieuse & originale. C'est différent de ce que nous sommes habitués de manger. Nous avions pris le menu dégustation étant donné que nous ne connaissions peu la nourriture éthiopienne.
C'est le restaurant préféré de mon copain & moi. À chaque visite, nous apprécions la nourriture, le service sur place, l'ambiance, etc. C'était rendu notre coup de coeur. Nous avions eu l'idée de faire un souper/baby shower à Nil Bleu. Malheureusement, lors de la réservation... c'était super compliqué. Nous avions fait une réservation de 16 personnes & ce, 4 semaines d'avance. Pas assez de personnes pour réserver la salle privée.... Pas de problème! Nous avons accepté d'opter une table dans la salle principale qui se retrouve au premier étage. L'employé au téléphone m'explique qu'il doit attendre voir s'il y a des réservations dernière minute avant d'accepter ma réservation de 16 personnes. Je n'ai pas trop compris pourquoi fallait attendre... il n'arrivait pas à m'expliquer non plus. Il me disait qu'il pouvait juste me confirmer 2-3 jours avant la date du souper... Je leur ai écrit pour manifester notre désir de fêter l'arrivé de notre enfant, mais aucune réponse de leur part. Je pense que le fonctionnement pour les réservations de groupe était trop compliqué. Malheureusement, j'ai réservé ailleurs... je trouve cela dommage que nous n'avions pas pu aller à notre restaurant préféré.
Un service vraiment incroyable ! C'est à noter Une belle décoration & ambiance Le menu découverte est vraiment sympathique & vaut son prix Bémol sur le fait qu'on des serveurs (différent de celui que nous avons eu tout du long) nous a proposé des desserts & a répondu oui quand nous avons demandé si c'était compris dans le menu or cela ne l'était pas & nous avons dû paye
Un service hors pair, un repas d'un goût inegalé, une soirée mémorable. Ce n'était pas ma première expérience au Nil bleu ni la dernière. Je vous le recommande chaudement!
Wow we had a very good experience at this restaurant ! The vegan platter for 2 comes with 4 starters & 5 portions to try as main ! Really tasty & service was 5 stars. I highly recommend !!!! Also loved the ambience, perfect for a date !
Went there for a birthday dinner. We ordered the share-able dinner course for two. The food was absolutely delicious, beautiful presentation & good service! I recommend trying their house cocktails, we loved them.
Authentic flavourful food, great price, & excellent ambiance. The owner, Lidya, was so kind & shared her experience with me. The staff is uber professional & attentive. I often order through UberEats to support local businesses, but got to visit in person for the first time this past Saturday, & so glad I did. Highly recommend!
We ordered online via doordash & were beyond impressed. We had the ten item vegan meal & the food was superb. I have had Éthiopien food in Manhattan, Boston, Toronto & other major cities & they do not compare. The flavour in the dishes is exceptional & the ingredients are so fresh. I cannot wait to visit in person.
Always a pleasure to have a meal at le NilBleu. I have been going there for several decades & have never been disappointed. It's my families go to place to get our fix of fine Ethiopian food.
The tasting platters had lots of is a fun eating experience with friends. Very warm & helpful service. The location is enchanting & looks like a great place to be for supper of drinks, though we were the only ones dining today for lunch. I am told by my Ethiopian friends you can't find truly authentic Ethiopian food in MTL, & apparently this place uses more white flour than teff flour, but that's technically hearsay. Nevertheless, we had a very enjoyable experience here
