Restaurant Beba

Had the pleasure of eating at Beba on Sunday. I don't think of myself as a foodie - I have a lot of food restrictions (gluten & dairy free :( ) so it's a tough thing to participate in but I had family in town who really wanted to go here. I am always hyper aware of what a pain it is to accommodate food restrictions (I'm so sorry :( ) so I had written in advance to ask about the menu. The response couldn't have been more gracious & the server went out of their way to ask a lot of questions. So for the allergy & intolerance buds, this place is a win. Someone was getting trained in the kitchen while we were there & it was comforting to see the amount of patience being demonstrated towards them. Open kitchens put extra pressure on people but everyone seemed to be communicating kindly. (One of many ways that Beba comes off as progressive & fresh - it's hard to imagine one of these chefs having an old school meltdown) They made service look effortless even though it surely isn't considering the care put into the food. The cocktails were perfect. They seemed to be mostly *slight* twists on classics. No smoke bubble bullshit just like a hint of lavender. The (modified) food I had was great & I can only assume that in it's intended dairy & gluten having form it's even better. I have to say I didn't feel quite cool enough to be there but that was entirely on me. It's beautiful inside - from the tableware to the customers - & outside where there's an adorable little patio area). My thought leaving this restaurant was that the staff deserve to be proud of themselves & of their workplace. There aren't a lot of restaurants able to convey this level of grace & elegance. Thank you for all your hard work.

First rate experience in every respect. The food is unique & delicious--a fusion of many styles, reflecting the diverse experience of the chefs. The service was attentive & personal. We were visiting Montreal for a wedding, but the locals we brought with us will be back!

One of the best bites I have had in a while. The Foie Peach Pie special was off the charts, my 4 year old son ordered a second slice for dessert. Not sure what people are expecting? I think the chefs cook honest delicious food.

Coming here with the expectation the food will be amazing considering to be on No.8 best100Canada. However I must say it is disappointed. The mackerel is amazing, nicely cured. However the special of the day( chicken wing, boneless then molded & cold on a foie pepper sauce), it sounds amazing when the server told us but the presentation is like coming from a can in a supermarket sample product. The bone marrow is super salty, make it quite unpleasant to eat The rabbit is the star of night (recommended anything on the grill is amazing) paired with the salad. The flan is very good actually. The other things here is the food came out so long , I came at 5:45, had 3 dishes came out quite fast (in 1 hour) but waited 45 minuted for the main course (the rabbit with the salad) which is quite unacceptable. 2 hours 30 minutes for dinner for 2 people is very long - the server is very attentive & cleaning our table quite often, but suggest to course out things better (if the rabbit take long to cook, consider Fire it first then send out the bone marrow) I must say 2 line cooks & a dishwasher to cook for an always busy restaurant is quite amazing, but hopefully they can somehow make the service faster.

Came in as a walk-in. Was really just looking for a place out of the heat. The service was fantastic, each employee asked if we preferred english or french, & was very personable. The guy behind the bar was most of our interactions, & offered specials before listing them - a great touch. He was excited to share how each menu item was made & made everything sound both delicious & simplified how it so that even I could understand it. Skipped the fancy restaurant terms & just explained what the food was in clear & excited terms! He was super personable, noticed my partner's tattoo, & spoke about his own for a bit. We ordered the montadito, which is essentially 4 pieces of mackerel on two sesame seed buns, with horseradish, & the fish marinated in vinegar. Each bite was juicy & delicious, Even 25 minutes later I can still feel the flavours on my tongue. Definitely an excellent place to check out if you're in the city.
