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, friendly, knowledgable service. Great food with wide selection of interesting tasty dishes. Same for the wine. Had a very enjoyable meal.

Beba lived up to its high expectation. Our server explained the menu flawlessly & took care of us. Some of the dishes were out of this world - - most notably maitake mushrooms with chick peas & bone marrow. & they had fernet with cola, which I hadn't had in over a decade, or last time in Argentina. Didn't realize how small the place was. Magesterial.

appetizers were great especially need to try the mackerel one. The main dishes were just ok or even below average. Also the service was rushed - they were trying to get us out from the restaurant within first hour. It was my third time in the restaurant & the story is consistent.
Sherry
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)

The dishes were so unique & perfectly executed! Excited to come back to discover what's new! (Photos & menu from 2023.)

Excellent food, service & ambiance. Our reservation was at the bar which granted us the added experience of watching the food & drinks prepared! The menu is designed to be shared; however the person sitting next to us at the bar had come in on her own & they provided the option for 1/2 portions of everything so that she could still experience a variety of dishes without waste. Very impressed & looking forward to a return visit.

In this category of elevated comfort food, Beba is the place to visit. Phenomenal dishes, impeccable service. I went 2 nights in a row. The 3rd visit a few months later didn't disappoint. The originality remains with unique flavours.
Steve
Unbelievably terrific. This is a neighborhood restaurant that could thrive in any location. The brother-owners have created a welcoming atmosphere, but the menu is what they want to cook. & they're awesome cooks. The fish dishes were great, & the meat was Montreal flavor without being overly rich. Really great. Thanks for having us.

Great service & very fresh ingredients! We did enjoy the food however we did feel like the dishes did not live up to the price point.

During the past few years, this Montreal neighbourhood hidden gem has progressively ascended the' Top 100 Best Canadian Restaurant' ranking list. Currently, it occupies the #7 spots, just behind our Ontario-own Pearl Morissette, Alo, Edulis, 20 Victoria street…etc.
By pure luck, dining options for our relatively large party of 6, required special handling by the smallish & cozy restaurant & its compact kitchen. This resulted in our being offered a fixed price, pre-arranged'omakase' menu, consisting of communal size dishes for sharing. This menu will be specially crafted in person by Montreal celebrity chef/owner Ari Schor himself! A nice surprise & welcoming privilege!
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly & graciously by the wait staff & the two owner brothers, Ari & Pablo. After exchanging hand shakes, hugging & verbal pleasantries, we all settled down, ordered our pre-dinner cocktails & eagerly awaited the arrival of our culinary feast.
We were presented with the following dishes:
Appetizers:
- Potato Knish with Imperial Osetra Caviar
- Montadito of Mackerel with sesame, salted butter & horseradish
- Involtini of Zucchini & Swiss Chard with yogurt & pine nuts
Mains:
- Drunken Guinea Fowl & Liver marinated in Sherry
- Tagliatelle served with Chanterelle, braised Zucchinis & Pamiagiano
Reggiano
- Gloucester Old Spot Pork chop with creamed corn & black truffles
- Rabbit with Octopus, Chorizo & Potatoes
- Wild Mushroom Paella
Desserts:
- Strawberries with Marsala Zabaglioni & Amaretti
- House made Vanilla Icecream with roasted Pistachios
Our intriguing French & South American Hispanic fusion fare, with a touch of Chinese theme thrown into the mix, was both rustic yet refined. Dishes' progression was a balanced blend of subtle flavour creations intermingled with some concoctions packed with relatively bold & complex taste profiles.
The Shanghainese scallion pancake taste-alike potato Knish topped with salty caviar was a great overture to our meal.
The Chinese drunken pigeon clone main -'Drunken Guinea Fowl with Sherry' was IMO a clever,masterful touch! The delicious meat, tender & moist…..the medium rare, velvety smooth & creamy foie, exceptional!
I am normally not a fan of rabbit, finding it usually overcooked & dry. Yet, Beba's rendition was a pleasure to eat. The well seasoned meat was nicely seared, flavourful & juicy. Same applies to the pork, which was also perfectly executed, caramelized crust on the outside & moist juicy meat inside. The pile of shaved Black truffle topping was super-generous & the sweet Chilean creamed corn sauce, delightful!
Overall, it was a satisfying & sumptuous meal with generous portions, encompassing some creative, intriguing & unfamiliar ingredient composition & flavour profile
The only downside to our meal was the rather underwhelming, blend tasting & mushy textured pasta dish plus the loud &'funky' background music, which featured African tribal like songs to crackling Caribbean percussion to mellow Hispanic. What a weird mix?!
An evening of good food, warm attentive service & great company! A near perfect total package!

Really delicious & unique food offerings accompanied by great service & laid back vibes. The tomato & mackerel dishes were amazing!
Ron
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.
Alan
Read reviews & it sounded great. Food was excellent- well prepared & seasoned. Goat ragu & sweetbreads were outstanding. It is quite pricey- we had 3 small dishes & one larger plus 2 cocktails & 2 glasses of wine for 2 was over 300 Canadian with tax & tip. Neighoirhood is funky. Would recommend for special occassions.

Cute restaurant with good vibes & nice open windows. Service were great. The servers were very sweet & friendly.
Food was very creative, which is a plus. I really love the presentation, particularly the appetizers we tried. However, maybe our expectation for the top 100 restaurants in Canada is quite high; we actually think this restaurant is just'alright' for it's price range. I need to point out that the main dish, especially the fish wasn't that good. It's very salty & just not that delicious overall. I haven't had such a salty fish in major North American cities for a long time. I travel quite extensively.
The portion size is also relatively small. With two people paying nearly $300 after tax & tips, we still feel hungry after six dishes (we shared) & two drinks for each of us. Drinks were great, though!
Overall, it's still a good restaurant, but it requires some improvement to persuade me & my friend to come again.
Matthew
Stunning. One of the best restaurants in Canada. Perfect level of service, & the creative depth of their dishes is impressive. Can't wait to to back…
Ferris
The food was at best average. Dishes lacked passion. Favourably didnt blend well at all. Pricing was high for this quality.
Dessert was the only highlights (flume was good)
Was a Chef for 8 years worked in top restaurants in the country but this was a classic Montreal fine dining disaster. Service was horrible our server was rude condescending & injected too much of her opinion. Please kindly let go of the one with the tattoo sleeve on her arm. Her resting face was very unpleasant. Please garnish your dishes at this price point.
Said this before but I'll say it on this review as well Montreal fine dining is a joke avoid it if possible
Chan
Food is fabulous, wine by glass - very nice, match the goods well. Table was cleaned very dishes. Awesome experience
