The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and inviting, with attentive, friendly service that makes guests feel welcome.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé le cadre qui était très joli & moderne, la nourriture qui était très bonne & les serveuses qui étaient adorables. Petits points perfectibles : un des plats de viande légèrement salé, un peu d'attente pour le vin, erreur dans la commande mais rien de très dommageable dans cette expérience culinaire. Mais cela nous donne tout de même envie de revenir car l'univers de ce restaurant change par rapport à ce qu'on a connu.

We come to Nil Bleu every time we visit Montréal. We had a really nice dinner & the food was excellent as always.

As we were finishing, we were asked to hurry up as another group was waiting & was angry they were not seated. Our total time for a group of 7 was about 1 1/2 hours & our bill was over 400 dollars. Our reservation was for 7:30, but we were accommodated to arrive at 7 as we were ahead of schedule. I am wondering what would have happened if we arrived at our regular time & only had one hour to dine.

Feeling hurried at the end took away a bit from the overall pleasant dining experience.

LOVED Le Nil Bleu! We are vegetarians, & totally enjoyed our experience at Le Nil Bleu. The ambiance was warm & inviting, lovely candlelight & live jazz—an unexpected plus. The two musicians were awesome—really enjoyed sitting near them, such talented guys, & obviously having a great time themselves. We got the vegan tasting assortment for two—allowing us to try everything we wanted—All so very good! We will definitely visit again, whenever we visit Montreal!

Rien à dire sur la nourriture, vraiment délicieuse. Il serait plus judicieux d'apprécier cet endroit un autre jour que celui de la St Valentin. Notre table était située entre l'allée des serveurs & les escaliers. Pour pouvoir m'asseoir, il a fallut déplacer mes voisins respectifs de devant & derrière tellement l'espace était étroit. Je suppose que c'est l'effet marketing de masse, & l'effervescence des prix qui vont avec.

Ce resto est presque parfait. Il nous change de la cuisine traditionnelle. Les mets sont savoureux, parfumés, différents. Le personnel est gentil, attentionné, les prix sont très abordables. C'est un bel endroit chaleureux & confortable. Allez-y ! Vous aimerez l'expérience & vous récidiverez, j'en suis persuadée. 😀

Le choix des épices & leur variété rend la cuisine éthiopienne particulièrement savoureuse. Le Nil Bleu sait allier présentation traditionnelle des plats & souci de modernité. Un mélange parfaitement réussi.

Excellent repas plein de saveurs. Le repas vaut le détour. Mais...gros mais : Très longue attente. Mauvaise gestion des commandes. Délicieux breuvages. Malheureusement, le fait d'avoir des petites portions (vins entre autres..) comparativement à nos voisins de table pour nous insister à commander plus... Le fait d'avoir 2 nocives en soirée c'est pas fort non plus.
