Africa Meets Quebec At This Not-To-Be-Missed Montreal Restaurant
For our last night in Canada, for this trip, we were having a'reunion' dinner for my partner & some of his old school friends, one of who lives in Montreal. She had chosen this really interesting, Michelin Guide-listed restaurant, where'produce from Quebec meets sub-Saharan African spices & ingredients'.

It's a small place, really nicely presented, with a short, but very interesting menu, with some ingredients I'd never heard of, but was very willing to explore. The service was low-key, freindly & efficient - good thing as our table of 7 had a lot to catch up on!

For my starter & main, I chose:

- Dhahabu: Sweet corn velouté, Lobster bisque & Vidal cloud, mofo sakay, spiced crumble

- Diosso: Braised veal shank with lumba-lumba, coconut taro mash, wilted spinach

The velouté was rich & bursting with flavour - really good & nicely spiced.

The diosso was really nicely presented, very rich with deep umami flavours - a really good & satisfying dish.

I really enjoyed the food & judging by the empty plates all around me, so did everyone else.

A thoroughly good night of food, friendship & reminiscing. Thank you Le Virunga!

Très belle découverte, excellent accueil, service attentionné & chaleureux , plats fins & créatifs. Cadre agréable & cosy. Seul petit bémol: musique un peu forte. On reviendra avec grand plaisir !

Une magnifique découverte ! Très gentil accueil à notre arrivée, peu de tables ( Nous avions réservé), éclairage doux, musique ambiante pas très forte. Le menu nous a été parfaitement expliqué, d'autant plus que nous ne connaissions pas plusieurs ingrédients.
Les plats étaient très goûteux, pleins de saveurs mélangées mais qui gardaient une cohérence. Le dessert au maïs & sirop d'érable nous a conquis. Le titre que j'ai mis dans les photos ne rendent pas justice à la complexite & aux ingrédients de chaque plat.
Seul petit bemol: j'ai été surprise que mon plat soit aussi relevé, j'aurais aimé être prévenue.

Une très belle soirée.
Tout était délicieux (un des meilleurs desserts à vie!) & l'ambiance particulièrement agréable. J'aime beaucoup le côté intime d'une « petite » salle : c'est feutré, pas bruyant, tout en douceur. Merci pour cette magnifique soirée.
