Cuisine exceptionelle. Le service est un peu lent car il n'y a qu'une personne pour s'en occuper. J'avoue qu'elle est excellente. Mais nous avons attendu un petit peu. Comme c'etait soir de match du Canadien pendant la finale de la coupe Stanley... c'est acceptable... Je dois dire que ma femme & moi etions le seul groupe totalement "blanc". Si la cuisine de ce restaurant attire autant d'Afro-Canadiens, elle doit etre proche d'authentique. Je dois dire que ce fut un vrai regal!!! Nous avons ete tres bien recu. La bouffe est geniale. Un peu epices, mais pas trop. Just ideale pour apprecier les saveurs africaines. J'y retournerai certainnement.

Très bon accueil & service. Décoration chaleureuse, ambiance tamisée... Le menu qui mêle saveurs québécoises & africaines est très intéressant. Mon plat de mouton était très bon. Le dessert de moelleux au chocolat : un délice! Très bons vins d'Afrique du Sud...

Nous avons soupé au Virunga dans le cadre de Montréal a Table. Une jolie découverte où les épices exotiques & la banane plantain ont la part belle. Malgré tout, les saveurs manquent un peu de relief. Je m'attendais à quelque chose d'un peu plus explosif en bouche. J'ai pris une quenelle de crevettes en entrée, du veau en plat principal & un moelleux en dessert. Le service est irréprochable & la carte offre de belles options aux végétariens/vegans, ainsi qu'une sélection de vins intéressante. Merci!
