Had the mtl à table menu plus a drink. Everything was delicious, in particular the bobotie! Portions were maybe a little small for the price but that would be the only critique.

Il s'agit d'un petit restaurant très chic, avec une ambiance propice à la discussion que ce soit en amoureux ou entre ami(e)s. Le restaurant est beau, l'accueil & l'ambiance sont chaleureux, le personnel est souriant & très courtois, que dire de la nourriture !!!! À chaque visite, je suis impressionnée par l'ingéniosité ainsi que la saveur des plats. Le Virunga est un incontournable offrant une garantie de satisfaction. Merci pour l'expérience culinaire que vous nous permettez de vivre ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

Excellent service du début à la fin. Nous avons eu du mal avec un des plats principaux & ils n'ont rien dit, ont pris une nouvelle commande & l'ont ramené rapidement. On a beaucoup aimé les choix offerts sur le menu, & nos assiettes étaient délicieuses - tout comme les drinks. Très belle découverte! Bon rapport qualité-prix pour l'expérience & le lieu intime.
