Excellent, accommodating & kind service. Food was PAS MAL- SUPERBE! I got the mackerel bagel & the tagliatelle pasta. Wow.
Nuanced flavors that were distinguished & fresh. Fish was fresh & pasta made in house. Every staff checked in on me at the bar where I sat. Made friends with guests. Non pretentious but the food tastes pretentious. Go go go. I found them on the Michelin guide website. Everyone said they're amazing. No lies were told.

Beba- Michelin level on its day. A small, but intimate space, & compact kitchen means that inconsistencies arise day by day. However, to me, that makes the experience more exciting, knowing I am having a unique meal rather than one that has been practiced thousands of times.

The food was terrific, with a focus on local ingredients. The Mackerel, was a standout smaller dish & was a unique fusion between Eastern sushi & western flavors & techniques. We also had a confit beef cheek with morel mushrooms that was the best bite I have had this year.

Drinks were unique & exciting, & the server did not push us to order alcohol, which I feel often happens at too many smaller/more expensive meals.

While you should expect to spend $100+, I felt that the priority of highlighting fresh local ingredients was worth it, & felt that Beba never skimped out on the expensive ingredients in a dish (peep how many morel mushrooms we got!).

Excellent food & seasoning. Mackerel is one of my favorite entrees, fatty, creamy & hint of horseradish balances everything. Octopus is perfectly cooked & full of umami flavor. Beef cheeky & mochella are the best combo, red wine sauce blends all ingredients together. Flan is out of the world, smooth, rich, flavor explodes in you mouth with each bite. Cute & nice staffs, amazing services. Definitely worth visiting if you are looking for a nice fine dining experience.

The highlight of the day is the mackerel, very fatty & full of umami flavor; second highlight is the beef tongue, so tender & seasoned perfectly, hope there was some other refreshing vegetables or something slightly acidic to balance the richness though. The rabbit dish was so so mediocre, we couldn't even finish more than two pieces, the meat has a weird raw chicken texture even though it was definitely cooked by sous vide. Flan had a bitterness in it but it's good in a strange way!
Service was kinda slow but kinda typical.

I enjoy a food adventure & that's why I like to try different restos.
Unfortunately this didn't make it for me.
We started with the Knish with caviar . A knish is a mashed potatoes & onions wrapped in pastry. It was one very small bite & it was topped with a very bland caviar…not the good stuff…very overrated & overpriced…$39.
Next we ordered the mackerel. It was 2 small slices on a very little sesame bread with fresh horseradish & a big blob of butter. Way too much butter.
Then we had the Rabbit, which was very tender, & mildly flavoured.

We didn't really care for the cocktails or the wine so this place didn't hit its marks for us.

Fantastic! Service was phenomenal - this team is so hospitable. You must get the knish with caviar & the mackerel.

I enjoyed the appetizer, especially the mackerel that everyone talks about. The blend of different ingredients meshed together very well, & they were fresh & you can tell each ingredients are carefully picked. Main course is somewhat less interesting.

One thing is though, I called specifically to ask for a spot away from the bathroom & they put us right in front of the staff bathroom with a lot of traffic & I had look at the toilet over 10 times during our meal which was very unappetizing.

Amazing birthday meal here! Similar flavours & menu to mon lapin. My fav dish was the mackerel dish, which seems inspired by a lox bagel.

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 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.
