I have to say, this place is worth every penny you spend. The food is outstanding, the ambiance is beautiful, & the service is truly A1.

In my humble opinion, this is the best Mexican food in Montreal. Everything we tried was exceptional. The duck tacos, ribeye tacos, & ceviches were absolutely amazing.

Make sure to save room for dessert you'll be pleasantly surprised. Every dish was prepared with care & packed with flavor.

If you're looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend Balam. Good food, great atmosphere, & memorable moments. Highly recommended!

Balam at Royalmount offers a vibrant, elevated dining experience, serving sophisticated, contemporary Mexican cuisine in a stunning Tulum-inspired setting. The atmosphere is energetic & stylish, making it perfect for a festive night out.

The food is exceptional, seamlessly blending traditional Mexican flavors with modern techniques. Must-try dishes include the rich rib eye tacos & expertly prepared ceviches, all using fresh, high-quality.

What truly elevates the experience is the service, particularly our server, Jaime. Jaime was fantastic-attentive, professional, & genuinely warm.
He guided us through the complex menu with insightful recommendations & ensured our drinks were promptly refreshed.

Jaime's excellent service made our evening feel seamless & personalized, turning a great meal into a truly memorable occasion.

I went to balam for an anniversary dinner with my fiancé & had the best experience. The food is incredible, I recommend the fish of the day plate & the ceviche, both were to die for. & the service was outstanding, everyone was so kind & accommodating. We will be returning!!

We sat at the bar & had an amazing time. Received great service from all the staff. The food was delicious, elevated & authentic which is hard to find. I loved their ceviches & fish tacos. The cocktails were refreshing. They had a dj which created an amazing atmosphere & ambience. Will definitely return with friends & family.

Sadly, the service was here was just terrible.
We waited for so long we decided to leave after our appetizers. We had the queso fundido with chorizo which was good & the Balam ceviche which was also good but missing lime juice in my opinion. I was looking forward to trying the fish tacos but the server never came e back to take our order. We asked for the check which never came either so we had to go inside to pay.
The restaurant itself is beautiful & the food is ok but we won't be coming back.

Le gigot d'agneau était absolument délicieux ! La viande était tendre à souhait, avec une sauce braisée savoureuse & une purée de patates douces qui complétait parfaitement le plat. Un vrai coup de coeur, même si la portion aurait pu être un peu plus généreuse.

Nous avons aussi pris le contre-filet à la parilla, accompagné d'une purée gratinée & d'oignons croustillants - très bon & rassasiant. En entrée, la guacamole classique & le Balam ceviche : frais, goûteux, & bien équilibrés. Mention spéciale au ceviche, que mon mari a adoré.

Les cocktails (Reina del Sur & L'aube du Balam) étaient beaux, originaux & délicieux. Service rapide & attentionné, ambiance agréable avec un bon DJ. Très belle expérience, hâte de revenir pour essayer les desserts !

Probably the best ceviche I've ever eaten...Wow!!! Not sure of the name but it had Mango in it....WOW SUPER FRESH.

A must try!!

Food is excellent 👌🏾

On my return visit different outcome! We were over charged & the waitress made mention of the old menu??? Again BEST ceviche I've ever had but the service really disappointed the guests I brought & myself as well. Will I return we'll see...
