Le menu dégustation à été un festival de saveurs pour nos papilles gustatives. Des mets goûteux, de la variété bref une belle expérience culinaire. Le service est aussi excellent.

Wonderful food & atmosphere, excellent service, ambiance that invites lingering. I've been coming here for 3 years & it just keeps getting better. I recommend the tasting menu + dessert cake.

Great service. Amazing food! Easily one of the best meals I've had in Montreal. I went to le Nil bleu to celebrate my friend's birthday, the staff was super friendly & everyone in my table was amazed by the rich flavours that they offer. They loved the ambience of the place. Simply amazing restaurant, a must in Montreal!

Our birthday restaurant since forever. These are not the flavours I cook at home & for me that's the delight of a restaurant experience.

The food was great, but the service was slow & had a surprisingly hard time splitting our bill. We were a big group, but it still shouldn't be so hard to split shared platters, especially since that's what they encouraged us to get.

très bonne nourriture au Nil Bleu. L'entrée, légumes caramélisés, humus & compote d'aubergines, entre autres, était délicieuse (J'en aurais fait mon plat principal !). Les pétoncles, un peu trop cuit, étaient cependant très goûteux. L'agneau, arrosé d'une sauce aux dattes, était vraiment très bon. Le décor, reflétait le style typique du resto . Le service était courtois, sans plus. C'est un restaurant qui vaut le détour (je ne suis pas de Montréal).

Excellent. Bonne bouffe bon service beau décor. Changerais la musique pour celle de l'afrique. Le choix n'allait pas avec le reste de l'expérience. Je recommande le menu dégustation.

Incredible experience. Both my date & I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience & are already talking about our next outing to Nil Bleu. The staff was very well versed in the menu & offerings of the evening & were pleasant & never far. I would reccommend the Nil Bleu for anybody looking for a new dining experience.

Très bon repas, menu dégustation délicieux au fil des ans. Très beau décor. Bruyant & tables de deux très collées sur les autres. Nous avons littéralement mangé avec nos voisins de table & leur bébé.
