Ca fait environ 20 ans que je vais dans ce restaurant & j'ai toujours beaucoup apprécié. Cette fois-ci je suis très déçue: les portions ont diminué & les prix ont augmenté. De plus, c'était très bruyant. J'ai eu une facture salée & nous avons manqué de nourriture: 2 portions pour 3 personnes! Je suis déçue & je ne pense pas que je reviendrai.

Reservation process was simple & straightforward. Everything was excellent as always. The only downside is that it was crowded (perhaps typical for a Friday evening). We were a couple seated in between two big, loud groups, & the tables were close, so we could barely hold a conversation. I wish we'd been seated a bit further from the others. We would've stayed for dessert but decided to leave for this reason.

Première visite. Agréable surprise. Nourriture excellente, ambiance agréable, propreté des lieux remarquable.
Juste temps d'attente entre l'entrée & le plat principal un peu long.

J'y retournerai

Good food , quite big portions. Service really bad, except one guy, who was the one bringing & explaining the food. Long time before order was taken, things were forgotten & took really long to refill our empty water glasses. NO good at all from that perspective.

La qualité de ce restaurant ne se dément pas au fil des années : une cuisine originale & savoureuse à laquelle les épices apportent une touche d'exotisme féérique. Le seul parfum de ces épices à notre entrée dans le restaurant suffit à nous mettre en appétit. & le fait de n'avoir besoin ni de couteau ni de fourchette pour manger les plats déjà découpés sur des rouleaux d'un pain léger & moelleux complète l'atmosphère rendue très agréable par un judicieux choix de vins.

Ma troisième fois à ce restaurant & je n'ai pas encore été déçue. Le Nil Bleu est un incontournable pour un repas végane exceptionnel! Tous ceux à qui j'ai recommandé ce restaurant ont été enchantés! Des saveurs exotiques qui nous font voyager sans sortir de Montréal, j'adore & j'en redemande!
