A hidden gem in The Plateau area of Montreal. If you're looking for something different, & mind-blowing flavours, give this place a try.
The restaurant is a Pan-African fusion restaurant; a hybrid of Saharan, Congolese, & Mozambican cuisine. The flavours of the unique spice blends were outrageously good. You can tell the sauces are very thoughtfully prepared. & the small, well-curated menu shows that they want to specialize in what they do, rather than offer a hundred different things & miss the mark on some. Also, a well put together all-South African wine list.
We will definitely come again!Voir plus
Amazing place with very unique dishes. The only comment would be the amount of food per dish, felt like they could have been more generous. But totally recommend & worth paying a visit!Voir plus

We had a wonderful experience at Le Virunga! Excellent & unique flavors & dishes. The service was TrueType outstanding. A memorable evening. I would recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!
This restaurant was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip to Montreal. The food was unique, & displayed an affection for food culture that rivals some of the best in the city. This is absolutely a must!
Tres joli table , unique en son genre à Montréal . Excellent & attentif service / à refaire
Le Virunga immediately jumped out when we were planning a special trip to Montreal & looking for unique dinner options. With an incredibly imaginative menu, & from what we could see online, a really warm & welcoming interior, we jumped at the opportunity to make a reservation. We've travelled extensively & eaten at some of the best restaurants in North America, Europe, Latin America, & Southeast Asia, & Le Virunga exceeded our expectations. Here we had among the most unique & delicious cocktails we've ever tried, for starters. The portions of the mains were beyond generous; in hindsight, I wish we had thrown etiquette to the wind & ordered literally all of the appetizers instead, just because we would have been treated to that many more plates/flavours. The atmosphere is incredible, the decor is both comfortable & whimsical, & the service is exemplary. I cannot fault Le Virunga on any count - it was a wonderful night, plain & simple. If we were locals, this would be a repeat spot for certain.
J'ai apprécié la décoration, l'ambiance, l'accueil, la musique, la propreté du restaurant (incluant toilettes).
Le service était très chaleureux & les plats servis étaient chauds comme je les aime & savoureux. Je pouvais identifier la saveur de chaque ingrédient du plat en bouche & l'explosion des saveurs en bouche est une expérience unique. Ma réservation était pour une personne seule pour le menu table d'hôte dans le cadre de l'évènement MTL à table. Ma table était bien située & j'ai reçu la même attention & le même temps de service que les autres tables qui avaient plus d'une personne.
La carte des boissons non-alcoolisées est très riche, j'ai commandé un d'jino pour l'association fruit de la passion & citronnelle qui était bon mais, ma petite déception était de n'avoir pas pu goûter la citronnelle car le jus de la passion était la saveur dominante de la boisson.
bravo !!! Une expérience unique! Un accueil chaleureux! Des mets délicats & fins, tout était franchement magique ! Du début à la fin nous avons été émerveillé par cette atmosphère de douceur & de saveurs exquises! Merci pour cette soirée de rêve. Merci !!!
Je recommande vivement. Cuisine originale & raffinée, vins fantastiques, service personnalisé, un endroit unique à Montréal
Warm welcoming atmosphere. Excellent meal. Unique mixology. Looking forward to next visit.
Le Virunga ! Toujours aussi bon, créatif & magnifiquement présenté! Le service est aussi exceptionnel!
C'est une expérience unique à chaque passage!
J'adore & recommande vivement, ce restaurant, à tous ceux qui veulent découvrir la belle gastronomie africaine!!!
Bravo Mesdames! Continuez de nous éblouir & à très bientôt!
Cuisine délicieusement unique, ambiance feutrée & service sympathique. Une expérience à répéter!
The food & drink were all very good, with flavors & spices that tasted deliciously unique. Loved the Mandela cocktail. The wait staff was welcoming & efficient.
Expect delicious food from different regions i Africa prepared with a twist. This makes the experience truly memorable & unique. The staff are also super friendly.
Excellent cocktails, friendly service & a unique & thoughtful menu.
Unique menu & great food prepared & served by warm people in an intimate, cozy space.
Delicious & carefully prepared. The appetizer of pulled tilapia was small, but had an excellent & unique flavor. The main course of braised goat was a more normal sized portion & was tender & flavorful. I would absolutely go back
I had an amazing dining experience at Le Virunga. My previous encounters with African food have been with Ethiopian cuisine only, so this place was a real discovery. The service was excellent, & each item on the menu was explained by the waitress. The food itself was similarly excellent. I had the Poulet d'Amours à la Moambe. The chicken was tender & easily fell off the bone, & was complemented by the palm nut sauce. The desserts here are also unique & not to be missed (where else will you be able to find plantain doughnuts)? I cannot recommend this place more enthusiastically, & will definitely be returning in the future with more friends. This is a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Montreal.
Amazing place! We had no idea what to expect, & it turned out to be even more tasty & unique. Subtle flavors of Africa is the best way to put it. The service was also excellent. Small, romantic setting with nice modern African music playing. If you are looking for something new, with a twist of adventure, check this place out. Don't forget to get the Poutine with goat on top! The soup is amazing as a starter too.
Je suis allé au Virunga plus d'une fois & la nourriture & l'ambiance étaient toujours très bonne. Chaque repas est une expérience unique dont il faut profiter en attendant la prochaine. Fortement recommandé si vous êtes sur le plateau & que la banquise ne vous tente pas
