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.
À côté de perfection dans le dictionnaire vous trouvez certainement Beba. Service plus qu'incroyable, nourriture impressionnante. Dans les meilleures sinon LA meilleure table de Montréal.
I just loved everything about Beba. It's small & cozy, but the staff make you feel at home as soon as you walk in. We had seats at the bar, so we were right next to the bartender. Our cocktails were delicious, & the waiter's suggestions for wine were spot on. Didn't hesitate to make us try too. Eclectic menu that can get you out of your comfort zone, reminds me of Tripes & Caviar back in the day. We tried the homemade pasta with blonde liver sauce, & the lamb neck, we enjoyed them both. We also played it safe, the duck empanadas & the butternut squash are crowd pleasers & did not dissapoint. It's not a cheap night out, but we went all out, with dessert & digestif. We felt we had our money's worth. We'll definitely be back here.

Not sure Beba needs another 5 star review so I'll never get a table there 😁but they deserve it. Everything - food, drinks, service, atmosphere was perfect from top to bottom. Unique & delicious flavours for all of our dishes. & really I cannot speak more highly of the service from all the staff. Was celebrating a birthday but I feel they would make it special for any dinner. A gem.
It's not often you find an exceptional food, service, & atmosphere in one place. Beba hit the mark on all accounts. There was only two of us so we sat at the bar & I'm happy we did. Nizar was crafting serious cocktails while delivering a feel of home & hospitality.
& a shout out to Isabella for getting us the best seat in the house despite our inability to arrive on time.
This was our first trip to Montreal & certainly won't be the last.
The Perfect restaurant. The service is incredibly thoughtful & attentive. The food is packed with flavor making you want to savor every bite. To top it all off the music playlist throughout the night makes you want to dance around with joy. The team is super nice & has great recommendations for local happenings. Make sure you chat with them!
I wanted to love the food here so much-we had a nice night with great service. However, for the price point & presentation, the food was not a standout. The potato knish was fun, but pretty one-note. The radicchio salad: a classy yummy Caesar, but it's unclear why the vinaigrette had to be bean-y & grainy. The tripe was…fine. Could have used bread. The octopus main was terrible. The tomato made no sense & nothing meshed in the dish.

We ordered as much as we could (considering we had our 6yr old with us) I think we did pretty well & tried most of the menu. Everything was excellent, the service, the food, the drinks. Definitely one of the better experiences I've had in Canada. Top 50 in NA well deserved.

'Life-changing' according to my husband! One of the best meals we've ever had, if not the best, EVER. Everything was amazing but standouts were the makeral toasts, the lamb ham special & the flan dessert. Unreal, will definitley be back.
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 cocktails ('tea for one', & another with vermouth & olives, plus an excellent non-alcoholic cocktail), excellent food, especially the dates stuffed with foie gras. Weirdly bad short ribs though - not sure how they could mess that up so badly. Very small servings of mostly excellent food (except for the short ribs). Bill for three came to $550. We'll definitely treat ourselves to restaurant Beba again when we feel like spending a lot of money for a great evening out. Good music playing, not too loud to talk over.
