Moins savoureux que dans le passé. Les plats de viande trop cuits & les mélanges d'épices moins équilibrés.
Peut-être que la pandémie a eut des effets sur les effectifs en cuisine.

J'ai decouvert ce restaurant en livraison ubereat pdt la pandemie, le repas delicieux & copieux! J'y suis allée pour la 1ere fois pour manger sur place & quelle deception!! La portion du menu decouverte pour 2 etaient minime!! C'etait la quantité pour une personne, le pain il avait donné juste 2 morceauz chacun puis la serveuse en a ramené par la suite! Apres avoir termine le menu decouverte, nous avions encore faim, allors on a du ajouté 3 entrées! Je ne pense pas revenir manger sur place & ca ne me donne meme plus le gout de commander a emporter non plus! Est ce qils ont changé leur politique & revus les qtités a la baisse pour des questions economiques? Probablement...Je donne quand meme 2 etoiles car le gout etait bon!

first of all, a big thanks to Le Nil Bleu for accommodating a party of 10 with less than 2 hrs notice. food is INCREDIBLE, service is 10/10, fantastic value for the money, even the desserts were amazing. the tasting menu was a fantastic choice, & there is a vegan version available. all dishes are made without nuts, as well. can't say enough good things about Nil Bleu, from really great food to warm, welcoming & attentive staff. 5 stars!

3rd visit there, we always take the sampling menu, food was delicious as always. Only complaint was although service was very prompt & courteous, it did take a long time for our food. But I'm guessing kitchen was overwhelmed as place was packed, because wine & water service was not lacking. Girls were great.
Thanks for a great dinner, we'll definitely be back.

Nous retournions à cet excellent restaurant pour la première fois depuis le début de la pandémie. Nous avons trouvé que le menu dégustation était encore meilleure qu'avant! Malgré l'évidente pénurie de personnel qui rendait sa tâche extrêmement difficile, la jeune serveuse a été tout au long du repas d'une amabilité & d'une gentillesse exceptionnelles!
