My family tries to eat Ethiopian food in every city that we visit, & I can honestly say that Le Nil Bleu was the best we've ever had. The flavors were incredible, & each one of the dishes in the vegetarian combination was exquisite. The atmosphere was wonderful, the staff was lovely, & we give it our very highest recommendation!

We've eaten Ethopian food LOTS. This was good, but not outstanding. It was the most pricy we've had by far. Overall, it was the service that put us off. The guy just clearly didn't know how to relate to customers on any level, which made interactions uncomfortable - that, & he'd disappear for long periods at a time. With lots of competition, we'll give this a pass next time. At those prices I expect good service.

Savoureux, unique, rapport qualité-prix impressionnant, magnifique intérieur, belle ambiance. Les cocktails maison sont délicieux également. Prenez les plateaux dégustation, ça vaut la peine!

Très beau concept dans la façon de servir la nourriture. Les saveurs sont superbes. Nos entrées étaient parfaites. Nos drinks sublimes. Malheureusement la viande était trop cuite (filet mignon, agneau) Le poulet avait des os, pas pratique quand on va chercher la viande avec notre morceau de pain & qu'ils ne sont pas visibles. Il serait important de mentionner que certains des plats sont épicés. On a eu un peu froid près de la porte d'entrée. Mais sommes tout excellente soirée.

Dès l'arrivée sur place, on est formidablement bien reçus! Accueil chaleureux, attentif & fort sympathique. Idem pour le service aux tables. L'atmosphère est feutrée, apaisante & agréable. Puis vient le repas : nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation 2 services Viande & Légumes pour 2 personnes, & c'était tout simplement délicieux! Chaque bouchée offre un riche éventail de saveurs & de parfums. & c'était copieux à souhait. Presque impossible de terminer l'assiette principale, car en bout de ligne, malgré leur légèreté, les crêpes sont quand même assez consistantes. On en ressort bien repus! Il nous a fallu prendre une petite marche pour rentrer chez nous.
