Food & Wine Quality is High. A little expensive. Presentation of Food&Wine well above average. Service is Good. Wine was not the style I am familiar with & like but it is well made & of a decent quality. The Restaurant has a comfortable clean feel to it, nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly & somewhat knowledgeable. You feel the Welcome.

This might be one of the best fine dining experiences my family & I have ever had! We had to call out the chef to personally thank her.

We feel a lot of pride to see an African woman be the head chef at such a fine dining establishment.

We had the tasting menu, with the wine pairing, every single dish stood out to us! You can taste each & every single ingredient in the meals. So beautifully presented & combined with amazing wine that is perfectly paired each time!

The waitress was also incredibly patient, & explained every single thing about the dishes, answered all the questions we had about each dish & wine.

Truly a 10/10 experience! & justifiably on the Michelin guide! But realistically, this place is better than many Michelin starred restaurants we've been to.

Le Virunga is an African inspired spot in the Plateau that pairs local Quebec ingredients with aromatic spices & bold flavors, it feels thoughtful & special without being fussy. Expect well-seasoned mains & tasty entrées, plus a wine list with a South African focus, which makes it a great pick for a date or a small celebration. A great little find.

Delicious, great-tasting wines in the tasting menu, & what delightful medley of notes & ingredients in desserts & wines.

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!

Went for the first time on Valentine's Day w. A set menu. They were attentive to making adjustments for any intolerances or allergies. It was just excellent!! However, service was a little long we got our food at 11:30pm (reservation at 9pm) but time went by fast thanks to the service checking in, great wine & music

THIS PLACE IS CRAZY GOOD! The dishes (the appetizers, the goat main, those plantain beignet fritters), the paired wines... & the lovely service. I come here every year for my birthday meal & this might be our favourite Le Virunga meal yet!

Delicious food, service & presentation! We tried multiple dishes as well as both desserts, & everything tasted extremely comforting & delicious! The service is really good too, the server took her time to explain everything to us about the dishes & we also had some help pairing a perfect wine with the dishes! Highly recommended!!
