I've been coming here whenever I can for almost 20 years, & it never disappoints! One of my very favourite restaurants not just in Montreal, but across all the many countries I've visited.

Really beautiful food, kind service, lovely people & a pretty terrace. Thoroughly enjoyed our supper here. The lamb with turmeric (Yebeg Alicha) was my favourite but I'm glad we got the tasting menu so I got to try so many great dishes!

Everything is so flavourful & is served quickly & with care. The staff are amazing & you really feel taken care of. I got the Doro Watt & Lamb Alicha - both offered a little something different & were so so good.
Trust me - Have a dinner at Nil Bleu & walk in Lafontaine afterwards. Perfect night

Had a great stay at Kutuma! Staff are super welcoming & friendly. Our room was lovely & spotlessly clean. Location was great, less than 5 mins to the metro which will take you all over town. Would recommend!
