Absolutely perfect. Cocktails are dangerously refreshing & colorful. Food was delicious, service was impeccable. Restaurant & bathrooms were spotless. I have nothing bad to say about this place. I would recommand without hesitation.

Le serveur avait l'air bête & bien que nous ayons choisi les plats les moins épicés, on avait la bouche en feu

Belle ambiance, repas excellent. Service légèrement lent (mais efficace) surement du au manque de staff (comme tout les resto de nos jours)

I really liked the ambiance of the restaurant, the music, lightning & workers was nice. Really clean also. I'm putting two stars out of 5 due to really high prices & really small portions. I ordered a vegan serving for two including an entree to share for two & everything was so small... Note: the vegan option was not more expansive than the meat option. It was delicious though & really pretty to look at to take photos but it was a scam. Ended with a 87$ receipt & not even a half stomach full. We finished going somewhere else after to be able to feel satisfied. Queen Shaba on avenue du Parc in Montreal do way better than Le Nil bleu. Bigger portions & more decent prices. Even the alcohol was more expensive than most places I went in Montreal for Ethiopian foods.

Even the wait to finally be able to eat took 35 to 40 minutes at least. Really slow service.

I'll never go back at Le Nil bleu ever again.

It was my first time to dine in & try Ethiopian food, & surprisingly, it was so taste. Highly recommended for sure! The ambiance is so cozy & clean, & I love the design of the toilet. The crew & servers are so polite.
