Every thing we had was absolutely delicious & the staff was so kind! Even gave us some other local places to stop at while we were in town for vacation. Would recommend go back again just for the dates alone
Beba is what happens when Argentina, Spain, & Italy have a dinner party in Verdun & nobody goes home. Named after a grandmother - the highest possible endorsement a restaurant can receive - this intimate little room on Rue Éthel operates like a love letter written in foie gras-stuffed dates & finished with a dulce de leche flan. You don't just eat here. You correspond with someone's abuela.
The menu changes weekly, which sounds like a commitment issue but is actually the most romantic thing a restaurant can do. It means they care more about what's good right now than what looks safe on a laminated card. The wine list alone could put a sommelier into a beautiful, dissociative spiral - natural, obscure, brilliant, & somehow reasonably priced for the sheer audacity of the selection.
The service is warm without being theatrical, the music is perfect without being loud, & the whole experience has the rare quality of feeling both effortless & deeply considered. Beba is not a restaurant you stumble into. It's one you tell people about in a hushed, slightly possessive voice, like a very good secret you're only sharing because you trust them.
This is a highly-rated restaurant in Verdun, Montreal; I don't think it quite lived up to the hype. Service was efficient, but we found our server to be a little dismissive & she encouraged us to over-order. Food quality was variable. The fish was excellent, as others have noted, but the pasta was uninspiring. The salad was fine & well-presented, but the dressing was similar to a Caesar dressing I make myself. The stuffed dates were delicious, if drenched in a bit too much olive oil. The wine list was extensive, but sold at a high price point. Overall, an interesting establishment, but expensive & our party of four did not feel this to be a Michelin-rated experience.
It was our first time at Beba & we had a lovely night. Cute date spot. Definitely a place to go as a pair & not group (at least for me). We had the tasting menu, which was 5 courses. The plates & quantities are small but with 5 courses we were very satisfied. We started with a dirty martini which they made perfectly & the sommelier helped us choose a good bottle of white. Our favorite dishes were the Montadito & the foie gras stuffed dates. The fish was delicious too. We later regretted opting out of the Oso bucco since the tables around us got it & it looked so good. But that's just over indulgence !Service was excellent. Loved the environment & space, it really gave cozy small Brooklyn vibes with moderate volume Brazilian music playing in the back .Overall a lovely experience, I would for sure go back.
We enjoyed a superlative experience at Beba. The service, atmosphere, & food all added up for a very speical night. Every dish was unqiue & very well composed. The dates with foie gras will live on in our memory, & we will absolutely return to Beba when my wallet can withstand. Kudos to the sound system, well placed sound panels so its not to loud in there, & a great playlist that set the vibe. Music can be overlooked in some places, but no so at Beba - they clearly put time & energy into getting the sound right so that it makes the mood. Great restaurant!
Great neighborhood restaurant. Went by myself worried that there were multiple items I wanted to try & it would be too much food. To my relief, they offered (without asking) that most of the dishes could be in half order, which was perfect. My favorites were the mackerel, you have to get it, & the date stuffed with foie gras. Both were incredibly unique & incredibly good. The knish with caviar was also something I never envisioned that also worked well. While the beef cheek was also good, it was not as insanely unique as the other three dishes. Would love to go back.
Excellent cocktails ('tea for one', & another with vermouth & olives, plus an excellent non-alcoholic cocktail), excellent food, especially the dates stuffed with foie gras. Weirdly bad short ribs though - not sure how they could mess that up so badly. Very small servings of mostly excellent food (except for the short ribs). Bill for three came to $550. We'll definitely treat ourselves to restaurant Beba again when we feel like spending a lot of money for a great evening out. Good music playing, not too loud to talk over.
Walked in, not too hungry, looked at the menu. Smallish. A few things I'd like, a few not at all. A bit wary. Was advised to order between five & six items for a party of two. Menu sectioned into small, medium & large plates. Ordered three (actually four - since the moment we tasted the mackerel - we placed an order for one more, it was THAT good) small plates: knish; mackerel & dates. Two medium plates: coppa de testa; tagliatelle. Flan for dessert. Blew my mind. All of it. It was quite a surprise. I tried things I'd never enjoyed in the past (mackerel) & ended up ordering another, so good. The flan was maybe the best I've ever had. The service was absolutely perfect. It was small & homey & just right. Every single person working there was friendly & welcoming. Spoke with Ari, one of the owners as we were leaving & just gushed about everything. He was delightful. Regarding the negative reviews I read, & I always read reviews from the bottom up, you must have eaten at another Restaurant Beba, because this was on par with May Day in Burlington, Vermont. Spectacular. Next time I'm in Montreal, this is the first place I'll go. Thank you so much for such a delightful & enjoyable evening, all the way around. Kudos to all who are a part of this wonderful enterprise. Oh, & the Ketel One martini's were perfect.
