Un grand classique, toujours aussi délicieux! Je prends toujours le plat dégustation végé depuis 25 ans que je fréquente ce restaurant & la qualité est toujours au rendez-vous.
Absolutely perfect. Cocktails are dangerously refreshing & colorful. Food was delicious, service was impeccable. Restaurant & bathrooms were spotless. I have nothing bad to say about this place. I would recommand without hesitation.
I really liked the ambiance of the restaurant, the music, lightning & workers was nice. Really clean also. I'm putting two stars out of 5 due to really high prices & really small portions. I ordered a vegan serving for two including an entree to share for two & everything was so small... Note: the vegan option was not more expansive than the meat option. It was delicious though & really pretty to look at to take photos but it was a scam. Ended with a 87$ receipt & not even a half stomach full. We finished going somewhere else after to be able to feel satisfied. Queen Shaba on avenue du Parc in Montreal do way better than Le Nil bleu. Bigger portions & more decent prices. Even the alcohol was more expensive than most places I went in Montreal for Ethiopian foods.
Even the wait to finally be able to eat took 35 to 40 minutes at least. Really slow service.
It was my first time to dine in & try Ethiopian food, & surprisingly, it was so taste. Highly recommended for sure! The ambiance is so cozy & clean, & I love the design of the toilet. The crew & servers are so polite.
Nourriture délicieuse. Service impeccable. Attention de vérifier les heures d'ouverture, certaines heures disponibles sur Libro ne devraient pas y être.
Food was great but we had to wait about 20 minutes before being seated, although we had a reservation.
Additionally, we had a full 40 minutes of waiting between the appetizers & the main dish.
It felt like the place was understaffed or badly managed or both.
I feel sorry for the bussing & serving crew.
Had the tasting menu, if you are new to Ethiopian cuisine, would suggest to take this. The portions are enough. Some of the items could have been better. Overall a good place to visit. It gets quite full, reservation is recommended.
