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.
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!!
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!

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.
Excellent restaurant. Probably the best in Montreal & in Canada. Mackerel & beef tartare is out of this world. Our waitress was exceptional & service was overall incredible,. Highly recommend.
Along with my sister-in-law, we celebrated my husband's birthday at Beba. Everything from the wine suggestion, to the food, to the service, was impeccable. Everything that we ate & drank was delicious. The food was top notch. The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. We three left satiated & happy. Highly recommended!
Wonderful meal & experience. The restaurant is small & charming, like an old school bistro in Europe. Great music soundtrack of old standards played at a volume that allowed for easy conversation. The food was excellent & plates are to be shared; knish with caviar, confit Cornish game hen over a bed of buttery veggies, tagliatelle pasta in a game hen w/offal ragu & an amazing flan for dessert. We were very full & satisfied! Highly recommended!
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.
We had a fantastic dinner at Restaurant Beba. The food, drinks, service, & ambiance were all superb. The knish w/caviar was of course great. But, the mantadito w/mackerel was fantastic. Next, we had the roasted maitake mushroom w/tallegio dish, which was super interesting & unique. The radicchio & escarole salad was perfect, as others have noted. & our bigger dish was the bacalao w/clams & octopus in a light tomato (?) sauce. It was spectacular. We sat at the bar & had the good fortune of meeting & being taken care of by Pablo, the co-owner, who was lovely! But, all the servers were sweet, caring, & always there for whatever you needed.
We loved the very relaxed & chill atmosphere, including the fun music. This is NOT a stuffy place. It was relaxed & lovely, but everything was done faultlessly. Highly recommend.
The food was absolutely delicious. The small bites, like the savory fish on the sesame rice cakes (or whatever that incredible appetizer was!), were perfectly crafted.
Beyond the delicious food, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely welcoming, making the whole dining experience feel special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal paired with a fantastic atmosphere & first-rate service!
Food was amazing, the waiter Mikael was really nice & very informative. He helped us pick the right foods & pair it with the right wine. Would highly recommend.
Food was bursting with flavor. Chefs utilize seasonal & simple ingredients showcased in such a beautiful way. Service was excellent. Highly recommend. Would go back! Thank you Beba
Really surprised to see the reviews re. service; we came here a few weeks ago & found the service absolutely exquisite. The bartender (Kathleen?) was super sweet (she suggested'Pisco
Sours' with a splash of passionfruit, which were phenomenal) & Marie -Eve was engaging & attentive, constantly topping up our glasses, making sure the table was wiped after each service, getting our coats whenever we wanted to smoke. She took time to explain how each item was prepared & the source of the ingredients- which made us want to try every last thing on the menu, a truly enthusiastic presentation. We felt pampered the whole time we were there by a warm & welcoming staff who clearly take pride in their work & are passionate about the dishes & vibe they create. Ambiance/seating/lighting was chill & comforting. Highly recommend the mackerel-bagel-fusion dish & pheasant with fava beans. We had a superb time🤍
Quiant little French restaurant in Verdun which services rustic Quebecois dishes. Recommend the Mackeral & Knish. Some of the dishes like empanadas & pastas appear to be seasonal so be sure to check menu in advance. Restaurant is small & lively, reservations are highly recommend.

Beba is a MUST eat. Had their Guinea fowl appetizer dish & it's to die for. Something similar to the Chinese drunken chicken but more delicately executed. Thumbs up to the Chefs. We had an excellent experience. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful dinner here on the patio! The food was great but the service was even better. Evan did a wonderful job & was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. He was super kind & made us feel relaxed & comfortable. The cocktails were also excellent! I am gluten free & they were also very accommodating for this. Overall it was a great night & I highly recommend!
Beba never fails to deliver an outstanding dining experience. The waitstaff are casual, but seriously know their wines & propose superb pairings with the unique dishes that are Beba's signature. Incredible value, highly recommended.
