Really beautiful food, kind service, lovely people & a pretty terrace. Thoroughly enjoyed our supper here. The lamb with turmeric (Yebeg Alicha) was my favourite but I'm glad we got the tasting menu so I got to try so many great dishes!

Première expérience en cuisine éthiopienne. Très belle expérience & tout était très bon. L'endroit est bien décoré & confortable. Belle petite terrasse mais nous n'avons pas pu en profiter à cause de la pluie.

Best Ethiopian food (& Ethiopian restaurant experience) that I ever had! The interior is very chic & modern, with food very artfully arranged on the platters. We had the tasting menu for two, & it was just the right amount to feel the right amount of full. We enjoyed a bottle of South African wine, which we did not have a chance to try before, & it made for a lovely pairing. Staff was excellent & attentive; no problem at all not being able to speak very good French. We felt like guests rather than customers. If we were local, this would be a regular spot for us. Next time we are in Montreal, we will be back.

Great hotel in a walkable neighbourhood close to great shopping, parks, & cafes & restaurants. The room was very comfortable & the service was super friendly & attentive. We'd recommend hotel Kutuma for those looking for a comfortable stay in Montreal's Le Plateau. Blue Nile restaurant, attached to the hotel, is also recommended for an excellent meal. Food, service, decor all made for a memorable experience.
