Best Indian Restaurant in Montreal - A True Royal Rendezvous!
Hands down, Rendez-vous Bistro is the best Indian restaurant I've experienced in Montreal & possibly in all of Canada. The moment I stepped in, I could feel something special about the place. What I didn't expect was that the chef & owner hails from the royal family of Bilaspur, Rajasthan, the very same state where I was born. It was like a beautiful cultural connection unfolding on my plate.
& here's the twist: the server had the same name as me! Shaurya was absolutely phenomenal, guiding me through the menu like a true connoisseur.
I ordered a LOT & loved all of these:
Dahi ke Kebab - unlike any I've had before; crisp outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside.
Laal Maas - fiery, bold, & deeply authentic. This one took me straight back to Rajasthan.

Paneer Lababdar - rich, creamy, & loaded with flavor.

Dal Makhni - slow-cooked perfection. Easily one of the best I've tasted.

Methi Chicken - aromatic & unique, with a lovely hint of bitterness from the fenugreek.

& to end on a sweet high - the Kesar Pista Kulfi! Served with such elegance & bursting with rich saffron & pistachio flavor. A royal dessert that looked & tasted like luxury.

Every dish had a soul, a story, & a serious amount of flavor. This place doesn't just serve Indian food it redefines it. Montreal, consider yourself lucky to have this gem. & if you're from Rajasthan like me, you'll feel right at home.
Felt Royal 👑 having that royal food!

Absolutely incredible thali experience!
The flavors here are truly unmatched in Montreal - rich, royal, & deeply satisfying. Every dish in the thali was perfectly spiced, unique in taste, & clearly prepared with love, care, & attention to detail. You can tell nothing is mass-produced; each item felt handcrafted to perfection.

The staff were warm & welcoming, & the chef personally came over to ask for feedback, which shows how committed they are to understanding & meeting the expectations of their guests. This level of hospitality, combined with the outstanding food, makes it an easy 10/10 for taste & service. A must-visit if you're craving authentic, soulful Indian food.

The food was one of the best Indian restaurants we have been to & we have been to many as we are from the UK where Indian food is one of the post popular cuisines & have also been to India. They used fresh ingredients which was reflected in the flavour. It was unique & authentic. The staff & service were wonderful & couldn't do enough for us. I would highly recommend paying them a visit if you are in Montreal.

I recently dined at Rendez-Vous & had an exceptional experience! I ordered the paneer, garlic naan, & some ice cream for dessert. The paneer was perfectly cooked, flavorful, & fresh, & the garlic naan was soft with the right amount of crispiness-an excellent complement to the dish. The ice cream was a delightful way to end the meal. The ambience of the restaurant is fantastic-modern yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. The service was top-notch; the staff were attentive, friendly, & ensured we had everything we needed. I remember served by LEA & she had attention to detail when told about my dietary preferences. The location is ideal, easy to find, & well-connected. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine. Highly recommend!"

I went there with my friends & I tried Dal Makhni with Garlic naan, Dahi kebab, Sofiyana paneer, chaat paapdi. Ambience was great. Every single dish was among one of the best Indian dishes I have tried in Canada. Coming from New Delhi I can confidently say that everything was authentic. The chef is very humble & passionate for his work. I had a long conversation with him about his process. 10/10
