J'adore ce restaurant. Il est toujours aussi bon qu'il y a 10 ans. L'accueil a été très chaleureux & c'était agréable de parler avec notre serveur de l'Éthiopie & de l'histoire de la région. Merci & à la prochaine!

For the past 20 years, this has been my go-to whenever friends & family are visiting Montreal because I can trust that the cuisine & the experience will be impeccable & spectacular. I am amazed to see that Le Nil Bleu has only gotten better since the pandemic, with even bigger & more diverse sharing platters, even more perfect & varied spice blends & an even more impressive wine list. I can't imagine the reviewers saying that the service is poor or slow. I've never once had a problem in all these 20 years. We are always treated like special customers & have often been offered a free dessert or digestif. I've never had a problem being served the wrong thing even when our party has been large & the restaurant has been full. If you want a fast food meal with a tablecloth on the table, go to one of the myriad "smashburger" joints. If you want a culinary journey to one of the world's richest cultures complete with tasteful decor, enjoyable music (sometimes live!) & healthy, delicious food that can please meat eaters, gluten free eaters & vegans all at the same table, at pre-pandemic prices, look no further!

Such an incredible meal & experience. We came here for my birthday dinner & the host was absolutely wonderful. Very fun & amusing. The staff was all incredibly pleasant & knowledgeable. We got the vegan tasting meal & lamb Berbere (sp?). Everything was absolutely incredible.
