Service is perfect. The staff is very attentive. Shoutout to the server who refilled my glass 6 times , not letting me stay dehydrated.

Food- the menu changes frequently so you need to check the website for latest menu. Some dishes are also served by piece - like the caviar with potato knish.

We ordered 4 dishes:
- mackerel on sesame rice with horse radish (our favourite. Great flavour)
- red dates with foie gras & pistachio (this was fantastic, it's on the sweeter side but it has wonderful flavours)
- morcilla with peppers (this is very similar to Korean blood sausages . Peppers were great)
- veal sweetbread (unique flavours. The little bits of meat were a bit too salty. It overpowered the natural flavours)

Unforgettable dinning night in Montreal?Love the Caviar topped Knish?Swordfish & Dates stuffed with foie gras the most. The foie gras mousse was so smooth, pairing perfectly with the sweetness of the dates. Finished the meal with pistachio semifreddo?nutty, refreshing, & the perfect sweet ending.

The restaurant isn't big, but it feels cozy. The service was wonderful too: when they noticed we might have ordered a bit too much, they kindly offered to make one dish a half-portion. Little details like this make the experience so thoughtful. Definitely will come back agian?

A lot of little things led to a disappointing meal. I was debating on two drinks, I decided on one. The server brought the other. It was good but not what I ordered. The mackerel dish was served raw. The menu never said that. My wife said it was good. I just don't like raw mackerel. The tomato tart was awful. They did comp it though. Of the three hot dishes we ordered, two (the tart being one) were served lukewarm. The special, pork belly (the other one served lukewarm) was equal parts fat as meat. The tongue dish & the date dish were both really good. The worse part is for what we spent to leave hungry, not worth it.

Must order ossetra caviar knish, mackerel, foie gras stuffed dates; salad radicchio, zucchini; FABULOUS GUINEA FOWL WITH ITS FOIE GRAS, ASPARAGUS, excellent Berkshire pork with corn & truffles. Flan with blueberries & whipped cream. Sophisticated wine list at all price points, & a knowledgeable staff to advise. We prefer Beba to Mon Lapin & Boulud (both of which are excellent!)

Like many other digital warriors & #googlemapsinfluencers, I kept up to date on the Canada's top 100 restaurants list. Beba did not disappoint

The mackerel app was a stunner & the date stuffed fois gras over the top!!!
Number 7 lived up to its rating.
Everything was delicious! Server was terrific & the tiny, warm, cozy atmosphere makes it feel even more special!

The service was excellent. Thank you to the bar tender for sending me your restaurant & bar list. You're a real one. Our server was really funny & I'm glad she took the time to tease me & tell I'm wrong about a few things. That kind of service is honest & refreshing.

The food however was really up & down. While I did enjoy the mackerel. I was very disappointed to have been served it with such an oxidized blood line. While it looks much fresher online in their photos! This should not be the case at the #7 best restaurant in Canada. Maybe don't order this dish on a Sunday. The knish was a bit dry for my taste. I would prefer it to be more moist. As a life long lover of knishes I was dying to try these & it turned to be my least favourite dish here. I had much better ones earlier in the day in Mile End.

The upside for was the octopus, clams & cannellini beans. This dish I will be raving about for a while. I also thought the foie gras dates were exceptional. Normally I don't like giving negative reviews. However I was looking forward to this meal a lot. I travelled here for my birthday dinner from across the country & I'm leaving kind of disappointed. I probably won't be back at this price point for inconsistent quality.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end- a culinary delight. The knish imperial osetra caviar & the foie gras dates are not to be missed. Our server Michael & host Pablo were extremely personable & knowledgeable. The atmosphere was comfortable & quaint. We will be back.

Overall a positive experience, service is professional & attentive. Radicchio Salad & Involtini were great(eventho there were low quality pine nuts on the involtini), the beef cheek with sweetbreads & tomatoes was a big disappointment:there was no salt on the tomatoes, the sweetbreads were under cooked & the beef cheek portion was very small...& that for 60 (!!!!) $,it really pissed me off. It's a bit of a Bobo restaurant, a cool place for people who wants to feel cool. I would suggest to go for a date rather than with friends.

The server/bartender was charming, funny, attentive, helpful & professional. If I could give 10 stars out of 5 for service I would .The food was excellent. The ambiance was perfect. It can be great for a date, dinner with friends or family or business diner. I loved the fact that it wasn't too loud. It is worth the detour to Verdun from Montreal.
