Many diners highlight the mackerel, foie gras stuffed dates, and flan as standout dishes that showcase high-quality, fresh ingredients and masterful execution. While the service is frequently described as warm, knowledgeable, and professional, a minority of guests have noted occasional inconsistencies in communication or food preparation. Although some visitors find the pricing high for the portion sizes or encounter a noisy environment, the overwhelming majority of reviews reflect a memorable, high-level dining experience that makes the restaurant a must-visit for food lovers.
what an incredible restaurant. I had to go here twice in a row when I was in Montreal. It was that good. It blows my mind they don;t have a Michelin star yet. They were on point on every single aspect: service was incredible & attentive, the cocktails were outstanding, the bartendress was also very open to making spontaneous cocktails & she did a phenomenal job. The food on both days were incredible: this restaurant was definitely the highlight of my Montreal trip. The neighborhood itself is meh, but the restaurant is a gem, it could easily mop the floor with Michelin star restaurants in NY for example. I did make reservations on both days & it is highly recommended. The restaurant is small & fills up quickly. On the second day I did the chef's tasting menu & it was wonderfully assembled.
The entrées were the highlight of the meal. The food was good overall, but I wasn't too impressed with the octopus. I actually enjoyed the entrées much more than the mains. Next time, I'd come back just for a few entrées & drinks to share with a friend or two.
The restaurant is quite small, so it's not ideal for large groups. It has a charming terrace with only about five or six tables for two, which makes for a cozy atmosphere.
It's definitely on the pricier side. Our bill came to around 250$ for two people, & that was just for the food no drinks included.
The service was good overall. It was a little slow at times, but our waiter was friendly & attentive.
I stumbled upon Restaurant Beba while walking around the neighborhood & decided to give it a try for dinner. The atmosphere was incredibly inviting & the service was attentive without being intrusive. Everything we ordered came out perfectly cooked & the flavors were well balanced. It is definitely a solid spot if you are looking for a high quality meal in a relaxed setting. I will definitely be bringing my friends back here next time we are in the area.

The food was overall very good, & the service was generally quick & attentive. We were really enjoying our meal until we noticed that our rabbit stew was partially undercooked. There appeared to be blood on the bones, & one portion of the rabbit meat was clearly undercooked.
We mentioned this to a staff member who came by to wipe our table. He reassured us that someone would look into it. When our server returned, we explained the issue again, & she went to discuss it with the kitchen staff.
When she came back to our table, she did not apologize & seemed quite dismissive. She told us that the chef said it was normal to sometimes see blood on the bones. However, she did not address the undercooked portion of rabbit meat that my partner had left on his plate, nor did she appear interested in discussing the matter further.
We went on to order dessert, but we were disappointed by how the situation was handled. Given that it was a small restaurant with only a few tables, we did not choose to escalate the matter further & make other guests uncomfortable.
As a Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant, we had hoped for a higher standard of communication & customer care when an unexpected issue arose. While we enjoyed much of our meal, the response to our concern left us disappointed.
Delicious food & amazing service. Reservations highly recommended as they are extremely busy & popular.
The Montadito was probably my favourite dish & the cocktail was absolutely amazing (vermouth & olives). My server/bartender was on top of everything despite how busy he was. The rest of the staff are also extremely attentive, clearing plates immediately, refilling water, wiping down the table, etc.
It was only me at the bar & I was given the option to have half portions while also having more room to try other dishes. I decided to order everything full size, no regrets, but for my next visit I'll definitely take that route. There were so many other dishes I wanted to try after watching the other guests eat!
Overall I highly recommend this restaurant. If you are in Montreal this is a must try. I will definitely be back!!
The Perfect restaurant. The service is incredibly thoughtful & attentive. The food is packed with flavor making you want to savor every bite. To top it all off the music playlist throughout the night makes you want to dance around with joy. The team is super nice & has great recommendations for local happenings. Make sure you chat with them!
My partner & I had such an amazing experience at Beba! The customer service was phenomenal! The food was excellent & the staff were wonderful! They were attentive, knowledgeable & friendly. They provided great recommendations from the menu & always checked-in on us. As mentioned above, the food was excellent! It had different flavours but were not overpowering each other. Would come back here again & I highly recommend this place to anyone who is going to Montreal.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Beba never disappoints.
Every time I go, I'm reminded why it's one of my favourite spots in Montreal. The service is always warm, attentive, & effortless - you really feel taken care of. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish is thoughtful, balanced, & packed with flavour. You can tell there's passion behind everything that comes out of the kitchen.
The ambiance is just right - lively but intimate, with that easy charm that makes you want to stay all night. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a mid-week dinner, Beba somehow makes it feel like both.
Highly recommend it to anyone who loves great food, genuine hospitality, & a place that truly gets it right.
Our dinner at Beba was an absolute delight, largely thanks to our incredible server, Evan. From the moment we sat down until the handshake at the end of our meal, his attentiveness was unmatched.
Evan walked us through the entire menu, passionately describing each dish & offering his personal favorites, which did not disappoint!
The food was 100% fantastic. We ordered the montadito, maitake, spaghetti, lapón, & steak, & every single plate was a winner. Beyond the amazing meal, Evan was kind enough to share recommendations for other local spots to check out during our time in Montreal.
We are so happy we had him as our server; he truly made our night enjoyable & memorable. We can't recommend Beba, & especially Evan, enough!
