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.
Across reviews, Beba is described as a small, intimate, almost homey spot in Montreal where warm, attentive service and a playful, richly flavored menu elevate a night out into a special occasion. Diners rave about standout bites like the knish with caviar, montadito with mackerel, dates stuffed with foie gras, and inventive pastas and seafood such as maitake mushrooms, octopus, and the signature mackerel course, with cocktails and a deep wine list complementing the experience. The format leans toward sharing plates and tasting menus, with many noting generous, well paced service and a cozy atmosphere that can feel lively yet intimate, sometimes enhanced by a carefully curated soundtrack. Yet a few reviews flag concerns about price for portion size, occasional inconsistency in dish execution, and moments of noise or rushed service, including experiences where mains were less successful or where the environment felt crowded. Overall, Beba is widely celebrated as a standout, high quality dining destination in the city, notable for creative flavors, attentive staff, and a memorable, intimate dining ambiance.
Very good food but pricey & tiny dishes. I miss the empanadas.
Wine choice can be improved, same for sparkling wine/champagne. Dessert wine is a must.
Awesome service!

The experience was terrible. The food wasn't good & definitely not worth the price. The service was also poor - the woman who served us was quite rude.
I honestly don't understand why this place has such a high rating.
Really delicious starters with unusual flavours. Unfortunately the bollo misto, the star dish, was a real disappointment as the predominant flavour was the salty gravy.
We had a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious, & the attention to detail in every dish really stood out. Our waitress was fantastic & made excellent suggestions, including recommending half portions for two of our dishes, which ended up being the perfect amount. We were very happy with our experience.

Super racist restaurant & staff.
They make black people feel like second class citizens.
I went once, they told me they had no table for me. Yet, they were making space for white clients.
In another instance, my girlfriend made reservations & they made her wait & barely acknowledged her.
Again, white clients, with no reservations, were given the red carpet treatment.
Unfortunately for them, my girlfriend & I know enough people to give them a very bad reputation.
& this is exactly what I intend to do.
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.

We enjoyed a superlative experience at Beba. The service, atmosphere, & food all added up for a very speical night. Every dish was unqiue & very well composed. The dates with foie gras will live on in our memory, & we will absolutely return to Beba when my wallet can withstand. Kudos to the sound system, well placed sound panels so its not to loud in there, & a great playlist that set the vibe. Music can be overlooked in some places, but no so at Beba - they clearly put time & energy into getting the sound right so that it makes the mood. Great restaurant!
I genuinely dislike leaving one-star reviews, however my experience at Beba was so disappointing I felt it necessary. Perhaps the winter menu is subpar because we disliked every dish ordered. The service was fine, nothing memorable but they still filled our glasses often. Spending over 100$ per person & receiving unenjoyable food is unacceptable.
Dès notre arrivée 18h30 ,nous avons eu un bref Bonsoir suivi immédiatement du commentaire :' juste pour vous aviser , vous devez libérer la table pour 20h30 alors vous avez 2 heures pour manger !' Disons que l'expérience partait sur une mauvaise note !!! Nous avons reçu ensuite nos cocktails & 1 minute après pas plus nos 2 entrées. Comme nous voulions prendre notre cocktail d'abord , nous avons fait attendre un peu avant de manger , c'est alors que nous avons eu un deuxième rappel que nous devrions quitter dans 1h30 !!! En apportant un 3 e plat puis 5 minutes le plat principal. Jamais , jamais nous nous sommes fait offrir la carte des vins ou suggérer un accord avec nos plats ! Nous avons de l'eau & un cocktail ....Ils étaient trop pressés ??? Nous avons eu droit à un troisième rappel à 20 mins ! Je dois dire que suite au 3e rappel , ils nous ont offert de rester en mentionnant que nous sommes en chance puisque certaines personnes avaient mangé rapidement que nous pouvions rester un peu mais que c'est exceptionnel !!!! & que 21h la facture sera sur la table ! Nous n'avons même pas terminé le dernier plat & avons quitté ! De plus , il y avait plusieurs places de libres à notre depart .Nous sommes allées à un restaurant tout près auquel nous avons eu un service attentionné & très agréable !! Ça sera la dernière fois pour moi chez vous malheureusement !

On est aller à deux occasions déjà, service est toujours excellent, les plats sont très variés au niveau des saveurs & de la présentation. Endroit très chaleureux & coquet parfait pour un souper entre amoureux.
