⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 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.
