This was my third time going. Since learning about Le Nil Bleu it has become a must go restaurant every time I come to Montréal. Food is fabulous, service is always really nice, atmosphere is relaxed & fun. If I had any complaint, it would be that some of the tables can be a bit crowded, but it's a small restaurant, which is part of the charm, so it's no big deal. I only mention it because I am 6 feet four inches tall (1.93m) so with some tables my chair feels like I'm in the way, but it has never seemed to be a problem to staff or others, so maybe I'm just over thinking it? Upshot is, this place is absolutely wonderful. Also, don't sleep on their speciality cocktails. I'm particularly fond of the Mango Mule.

We ordered the vegan tasting sampler for two. There were four smaller appetizers & five larger mains. We loved all of the appetizers but were not as keen on the mains. To be fair, I think the meat tasting menu would have been better & I was keen to try it, but my dining companion wanted the vegan so I agreed. I'm sure the food is worth five stars but I'm just not vegan.

One of the best meals I've ever had. If you're in Montreal & haven't been here, you are missing out. If you're thinking of coming to Montreal, this should be the reason why. Go for the tasting menu, because everything they have is 10/10. 5 star service. Our waiter set us up with a great pairings & took great care of us all evening
