Reviews across numerous visits describe Beba as a small cozy Verdun restaurant offering inventive, seasonally driven plates inspired by Italian and Spanish traditions with Argentine influences. The menu changes weekly and sharing is encouraged, with standout items including mackerel, montadito, knish with caviar, foie gras stuffed dates, and a maitake and pasta dishes; guests also praise the beef tongue, rabbit, and duck variations, while the flan is often cited as a memorable finish. Service is repeatedly praised as attentive, knowledgeable, and warm, and the open kitchen creates a lively, homey atmosphere that many find welcoming even when the space is crowded. Some comments mention small portion sizes and high prices relative to size, occasional unevenness, or excessive salt, and a few guests feel the hype does not always match the experience. Reservations are highly recommended due to popularity, and the wine list and cocktails receive many compliments, with the overall consensus that Beba offers a creative, high quality dining experience that many would return to repeatedly.
Gem of a restaurant tucked away on a side street of Verdun. Food was delicious, unique combinations, beautiful presentation, & surprisingly light. Service was attentive & warm. Intimate setting. Just a bit loud.
Incredible experience dining at Beba. We were recommended by a friend back in Winnipeg. The service was excellent, glasses were never empty, plates & cutlery were always fresh. Great wine selection & the staff are complete professionals, they explain every dish you order in great detail. The food is fantastic, we ordered the knish, involtini, spaghetti & the mushrooms. dessert was the famous flan. Would recommend everyone staying in Montreal to visit beba

A wonderful experience. Friendly staff, beautiful food, tucked into a residential neighbourhood with a vibrant atmosphere. Don't skip dessert, both the flan & peach tart were incredible (I rarely say that about a dessert). The quenelles were perfection!
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!
Assez déçue de la qualité de la nourriture & de la quantité. On en ressort & on a faim alors qu'on a payé 250$ à 2. Je trouve cette place surcôtée. Ayant déjà fait des restaurants gastros, je ne suis jamais ressortie en ayant faim & surtout les produits étaient mieux travaillés qu'au Beba.
Cependant le service est chaleureux & la musique n'est pas trop fort donc on peut discuter aisément.

A hip & lively restaurant with a superbly talented kitchen & meticulous service staff. We loved the format of the sharing plates & especially enjoyed the daily special of choice lamb cuts! A pleasant evening all around!
Marie-Eve au service était incroyable, elle nous a super bien conseillé, elle a comprise exactement ce qu'on recherchait pour les vins & la bouffe. Mention spéciale au Maquereau ! Juste wow en bouche !
Service is perfect. The staff is very attentive. Shoutout to the server who refilled my glass 6 times , not letting me stay dehydrated.
Food- the menu changes frequently so you need to check the website for latest menu. Some dishes are also served by piece - like the caviar with potato knish.
We ordered 4 dishes:
- mackerel on sesame rice with horse radish (our favourite. Great flavour)
- red dates with foie gras & pistachio (this was fantastic, it's on the sweeter side but it has wonderful flavours)
- morcilla with peppers (this is very similar to Korean blood sausages . Peppers were great)
- veal sweetbread (unique flavours. The little bits of meat were a bit too salty. It overpowered the natural flavours)
My adult daughter & I had a fantastic meal & a fantastic time at Beba. We sat at the bar & had amazing service. The food was just outstanding. Absolutely fantastic experience.

Unforgettable dinning night in Montreal?Love the Caviar topped Knish?Swordfish & Dates stuffed with foie gras the most. The foie gras mousse was so smooth, pairing perfectly with the sweetness of the dates. Finished the meal with pistachio semifreddo?nutty, refreshing, & the perfect sweet ending.
The restaurant isn't big, but it feels cozy. The service was wonderful too: when they noticed we might have ordered a bit too much, they kindly offered to make one dish a half-portion. Little details like this make the experience so thoughtful. Definitely will come back agian?
Excellent food, service & ambiance. Our reservation was at the bar which granted us the added experience of watching the food & drinks prepared! The menu is designed to be shared; however the person sitting next to us at the bar had come in on her own & they provided the option for 1/2 portions of everything so that she could still experience a variety of dishes without waste. Very impressed & looking forward to a return visit.
Not only did we have one of the single best bites of our eating lives, we had one of the best meals of our lives. The mackerel (the bite)is a miracle. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation - go. everything from the service to the Grateful Dead music could not be improved.
