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.
As foodies who try a variety of different restaurants, Beba is our favourite of all time. My partner is Argentinian & loved every single dish we ordered, gladly pleased to recognize the flavours of his culture. Service is also incredibly welcoming, warm & authentic. We recommend this place to everyone we meet !

The food was fine, but not what I would expect from a top rated Michelin starred restaurant. Maybe it's good for the neighborhood, but not a destination. Also, expensive & flavors were ordinary, nothing exciting.
I came here for a bachelorette dinner party & our group was so warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived.
We had the tasting menu & every single dish was just delicious. Thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, & perfectly paced - each course was a highlight in its own way. You can truly taste the care & creativity behind the food.
Now I understand why Beba is always at the top of so many culinary lists. For me, it's one of the best restaurants in Montreal - from service to food to atmosphere, everything was impeccable. I'm already excited to come back again & again & again.
Cute restaurant with good vibes & nice open windows. Service were great. The servers were very sweet & friendly.
Food was very creative, which is a plus. I really love the presentation, particularly the appetizers we tried. However, maybe our expectation for the top 100 restaurants in Canada is quite high; we actually think this restaurant is just'alright' for it's price range. I need to point out that the main dish, especially the fish wasn't that good. It's very salty & just not that delicious overall. I haven't had such a salty fish in major North American cities for a long time. I travel quite extensively.
The portion size is also relatively small. With two people paying nearly $300 after tax & tips, we still feel hungry after six dishes (we shared) & two drinks for each of us. Drinks were great, though!
Overall, it's still a good restaurant, but it requires some improvement to persuade me & my friend to come again.

The food was great though the menu is a bit limited. I was a bit surprised by the atmosphere. It was more of an urban bar type atmosphere (in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood). Our waiter was great & very helpful.
Wow that Ferris guy who left a poor review a month ago is a real piece of work, yikes. Couldn't have had a better experience. Food, service & atmosphere was fantastic. Absolutely lived up to the hype!

Food was amazing, the waiter Mikael was really nice & very informative. He helped us pick the right foods & pair it with the right wine. Would highly recommend.
I really wanted to go there but was still skeptical because the food on the photos & with their description didn't seem as fabulous as their ranking + reviews would suggest. Oh was I wrong, we took the 3 appetizers on the menu (caviar, mackerel & involtini) & they were all amazing. Only sidenote would be that there were pieces of rock like substance in my involtini & they told me they would subtract it from the receipt but didn't. The main course more than made up for it. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE PASTA. Their lamb ragu is amazing & their pasta is better than in Italy (I kid you not). For dessert we had the semifreddo & even though I'm not a big fan of pistachio this was amazing. I recommend for a special event 👌
Literally THE best culinary experience ever. Truly outstanding. Food was immaculate, service was unmatched. We went with our infant & they were so kind & accommodating. We will 100% return & recommend.
Magnifique & chaleureux petit restaurant de quartier. Par contre, je dois dire que la nourriture n'était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. Surtout le plat principal (lapin grillé), qui était un peu insignifiant. Les entrées & le dessert étaient quant à eux très bons, je dois dire.
À essayer si vous êtes dans le quartier mais n'en faites pas un événement spécial.
