A truly culinary, exotic experience that transports one to the finest of what Ethiopia has to offer.

I had Ethiopian food in Dubai at several Ethiopian restaurants THERE, & NOT ONE could hold a candle to Nil Blue in terms of ambience, professionalism of service, taste of the food, & quantity.

The VERY FIRST restaurant I went to upon my return to Montreal, wasNil Bleu, which also has an extensive wine list, & provides exquisitely blended cocktails as well.

J'adore ce resto! La dégustation végé est goûteuse & en format plus que satisfaisant. Le prix est très correct étant donné la qualité. Je recommande & si vous n'avez jamais mangé de nourriture éthiopienne, ici, c'est un exemple excellent, on ne se trompe pas! & maintenant, ils ont en plus une terrasse. J'avoue que le decor ne rend pas justice à ce merveilleux pays plein de beautés, mais bon... Longue vie!
