Nil Bleu est l'un des plus jolis restaurants de Montréal ! La décoration, l'ambiance ainsi que la musique y sont très originales & typiquement africaines ! La fine cuisine éthiopienne y est servie avec soin & courtoisie ! Des plats avec ou sans viande sont suggérés au menu. La propreté du restaurant ainsi que des toilettes y est impeccable ! Bravo aux propriétaires & aux employés( es ) pour leur magnifique travail, leur fidélité & leur dévouement !

Service was good (for instance offered wet towel to clean hands before the meal, & wi-fi credential, even without me asking for it). I ordered the vegan two courses tasting menu for one person, as I know nothing about Ethiopian food. The size of everything was indeed for tasting, however in light of the relatively high price ($35), I was expected more. Most of the items were not that spicy (good for me). There was only one really too spicy to my taste - not sure what it was (color was dark brown). It was interesting experience, but personally I'll likely keep it as one time experience. They are not take-away friendly (I tried). The place is not too large' the mirrors make it seem to look larger. It was busy, though. It worthwhile mentioning that the google entry is outdated: - there is no Israeli cuscus on the menu.

Un restaurant unique au Québec, car la gastronomie africaine est rare chez nous. Un des meilleurs resto à Montréal, surtout si vous êtes audacieux au niveau gustatif.

The vibe is upscale comfortable, & the food is out of this world: well made, beautifully presented, & fulfilling to vegan & carnivore palettes. The drinks, even off menu, were well made & balanced. The wait service was professional. The host had some quirky remarks & unpredictable energy.

The food is excellent & so worth the experience but we were disappointed by the service during this visit. With a reservation, the host seemed quite bothered by our arrival & then we were offered dessert twice when our main course had not arrived yet. The wait in between appetizer & main meal was over 30 minutes. We felt quite forgotten by the waiter. We had to work to get our bill after eating. The service detracted from the delicious & flavorful food the restaurant provides. We will return but will hope for a more welcoming host & mindful waitstaff.
