Beba is a restaurant in the heart of Verdun inspired by Spanish and Italian cultures. Our menu is based on the best ingredients available throughout the year, anchored in old world cooking techniques and a guiding principle of simplicity.
Reviews describe Beba as a small, intimate Montreal restaurant where inventive fusion flavors drawn from Italian, Spanish and Argentine traditions are creatively executed and rotate with the seasons. The menu focuses on shareable dishes like knish with caviar, mackerel, dates stuffed with foie gras, maitake mushrooms, pasta and guinea fowl, with the signature flan often topping recommendations. The open kitchen, warm atmosphere and attentive service are widely praised, with guests noting a homey feel and a well curated wine list. Reservations are advised due to limited space, and while a few comments call out occasional noise, pacing or value concerns, the overwhelming takeaway is that Beba offers a consistently high quality, memorable dining experience that many would return for again.
I enjoy a food adventure & that's why I like to try different restos.
Unfortunately this didn't make it for me.
We started with the Knish with caviar . A knish is a mashed potatoes & onions wrapped in pastry. It was one very small bite & it was topped with a very bland caviar…not the good stuff…very overrated & overpriced…$39.
Next we ordered the mackerel. It was 2 small slices on a very little sesame bread with fresh horseradish & a big blob of butter. Way too much butter.
Then we had the Rabbit, which was very tender, & mildly flavoured.
We didn't really care for the cocktails or the wine so this place didn't hit its marks for us.
At times service was great & others was choppy (long time for bread, return of server, coats). The food was good (especially the tagliatelle pasta which was incredible) but not spectacular as other places in montreal-very inventive but at times stretched too hard. The octopus was a little tough, & frankly the by the glass wine menu was tiny relative to the immense bottle menu.
We had a fabulous experience at Beba, the food & staff were exceptional. The fresh ingredients were served in unique & creative ways. The wine list was excellent. The staff truly made us feel appreciated & welcomed. We loved every minute!!
Beba was our favorite dining experience when visiting Montreal last weekend! These people are passionate about cooking delicious food! Awesome music playlist, great staff & ambience & the food is the star of the show. Don't skip the salad. It's perfect! Also shout out to the bartender who makes the most delicious canned NA celery soda mocktail. Thanks for a great meal!
The food was good but a bit too spicy 🥵 for my taste & they unfortunately don't mention it. For the first time in my life I was shocked how spicy 🔥 two different pasta 🍝 dishes can be. Besides that the food was actually very good. I would of really appreciated a warning ⚠? in the menu or from the staff about the heat level. Otherwise the service was great & the over all vibe was ok.
In this category of elevated comfort food, Beba is the place of excellence to visit. Phenomenal dishes, impeccable service. I went 2 nights in a row. The 3rd visit a few months later didn't disappoint. So did the 4th, the 5th visits. Each & every time, I tried new dishes with unique flavours that just hit right.
The good was delicious. Staff were so nice & professional. The service in between each course was a bit slow but overall I very much enjoyed & would definitely come back.
Service exceptionnel. Un des meilleurs, selon mon expérience. Plats parfaitement équilibrés, aliments de qualité. Beau décor & bonne musique, mais sans prétentions. L'accent est vraiment porté sur le service & la qualité de la cuisine. Un must

I liked that the staff were welcoming & I could try various dishes without having to pay for the full size by getting smaller portions. The foods were prepared & served to bring the most out of each ingredient's characteristics & flavors. I liked the cozy neighborhood-spot vibe but it could be bad for a big group. Will visit again.
Magnifique expérience - les saveurs, la diversité ses plats & des vins, le service !
J'y retournerai certainement pour faire découvrir cet endroit à mes être chers
Every single dish I tried was delicious. I really appreciate that they offer portion options for solo diners & it made it so much easier for me to be able to try a wider variety of dishes.
One thing that truly surprised me was the appetizer with dates & foie gras. I'm usually not a fan of foie gras, but since it was so highly recommended, I decided to give it a try-& it's definitely the one that suits my taste the most.
The steak & the clam & beans dish i had that day were also excellent. I'd love to come back & try their new menu!
I've lived in Montreal for five years & have explored much of the city's fine dining scene, but my experience at Beba last night was truly in a league of its own.
The food was clean, sharp, & exceptionally well-balanced. You can tell that every single dish is thoughtfully constructed & organized with precision. The layers of flavor were sophisticated & sharp, & the chef's intentions were clearly communicated in every bite.
Having visited countless restaurants over the years, it is rare to find a place that offers such a seamless experience from start to finish. From the genuine guidance during the menu selection to the moment we left, everything was handled with perfect care. It has been a long time since I've experienced such a flawless, cohesive evening, & for me, that is the highest compliment I can give.
Cozy small place, the food here is impeccable, all the dishes are clearly made with attention to every component & its combination. I LOVE FUN TASTES!! Fantastic service right from start, Mikaela at the door & through the dinner was incredible, super sweet & warm. Our bartender & waiter Nizar was fantastic as well & really gave us a great experience. 10/10 would come back again! Perfect for date night
Beba was a good time. Good food, friendly service, good music. Mind you, a little noisy for a Wednesday evening, but one can't really blame the restaurant for that. We would definitely return.
Very impressed with everything from the quality of the ingredients to the execution of the dishes & an amazing service. Highly recommend asking for the tasting menu if you are a first time visitor.
