Nous y étions dimanche soir dernier pour célébrer un anniversaire. EXCELLENT service de la part du serveur, Kevin, & de toute l'équipe (la dame gérante & le jeune homme qui assistait le serveur, même le livreur croisé à l'entrée nous a accueilli avec chaleur! ). Non seulement nous étions attendus mais notre arrivée était préparée & nos moindre besoins anticipés. Le tout avec une immense gentillesse & politesse. À l'heure où le service s'est perdu dans plusieurs établissements montréalais, celui de l'équipe du Nil Bleu a contribué a égayer notre soirée. Nous les remercions tous & bien entendu, nous y retournerons.

I love Ethiopian food for their vegan dishes! The vegan tasting menu consist of:

a platter with 4 small appetizers
Bouticha: chick pea mousse
Yetiamtim salad: tomato salad (tangy & refreshing)
House salad: caramelized veggies (warm & sweet)
Yeberdjane: marinated eggplants (cold)

& 5 flavours served over Injera
Yekik Alicha: turmeric split peas
Zucchini Sire: zucchini & beets
Yatakelt Watt: carrots, potatoes & cabbage
Yemesser Watt: berbere lentils (spicy)
Gommen: spinach, onion & garlic
The stewed vegetables seasoned with spices are all delicious. For those who want gluten-free, they have rice or quinoa for substitution.

Ethiopian Sun is a mix of mango, orange, pineapple & peach juice.

It's a generous size dish. They also have vegan dessert but I was full. :P
