Review Summary

Le Nil Bleu is described as an exceptional Ethiopian dining experience in Montreal, with flavorful, authentic dishes that showcase rich spices and generous portions, and a tasting menu that allows guests to explore a wide range of flavors. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and inviting, with attentive, friendly service that makes guests feel welcome. The vegan options are highly praised, and the presentation and quality of ingredients are frequently highlighted.

Excellent food (although the menu was a bit intimidating to read), & indoor dining was classy without overdoing it. Service was impeccable too. Def. going again.

Très beau décor. Excellent service. Ambiance agréable. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & avons eu le détail de la composition des plats proposés. C'est important pour l'expérience. Très copieux & la qualité est au rendez-vous. Nous avons adoré & nous recommandons.
Attention le menu dégustation est pour 2 personnes, donc si vous y allez a deux uniquement il faut que l'autre personne le choisisse également. Si vous êtes seul a choisir le menu dégustation, vous ne pourrez pas avoir un tiers des plats proposés.

The food was unusual & delicious.
We had the spicy sole.
Their wine list is well priced too.
My whiskey sour was not up to scratch but the food was worth it.
The interior is well designed & comfortable

We first discovered Le Nil Bleu when staying at the Kutama Hotel ( which we also recommend). We had never tasted Ethiopian food before & it was love at first bite! This trip we were in Montreal for 2 nights & it was our dinner choice for the first evening.
Food is exotic & very flavourful. Service is friendly with just the right amount of attentiveness.
We highly recommend Le Nil Bleu!!
