Beba est un restaurant inspiré des cultures espagnole et italienne. Notre menu est basé sur les meilleurs ingrédients disponibles tout au long de l'année, ancré dans les techniques culinaires d'antan et dans un principe directeur de simplicité.
Les avis décrivent Beba comme un petit restaurant intime à Montréal où des saveurs fusion ingénieuses puisent dans les traditions italiennes, espagnoles et argentines et évoluent avec les saisons. Le menu privilégie des plats à partager tels que knish au caviar, maquereau, dattes fourrées au foie gras, maitake, pâtes et pintade, avec le flan signature souvent en tête des recommandations. La cuisine ouverte, l'ambiance chaleureuse et le service attentif sont largement salués, les visiteurs évoquant une atmosphère conviviale et une carte des vins bien choisie. Les réservations sont conseillées en raison de l'espace limité, et bien que quelques avis signalent du bruit occasionnel, le rythme ou le rapport qualité-prix, l'impression générale est que Beba offre une expérience culinaire de haute qualité et mémorable qui donne envie d'y revenir.
We had a fabulous experience at Beba, the food & staff were exceptional. The fresh ingredients were served in unique & creative ways. The wine list was excellent. The staff truly made us feel appreciated & welcomed. We loved every minute!!
I liked that the staff were welcoming & I could try various dishes without having to pay for the full size by getting smaller portions. The foods were prepared & served to bring the most out of each ingredient's characteristics & flavors. I liked the cozy neighborhood-spot vibe but it could be bad for a big group. Will visit again.

Very impressed with everything from the quality of the ingredients to the execution of the dishes & an amazing service. Highly recommend asking for the tasting menu if you are a first time visitor.
Quite easily the best meal I had during my stay in Montreal! Restaurant Beba was ranked the 7th best restaurant in Canada & the 50th best in North America in 2025 & for good reason. The service throughout the entire night was phenomenal-every worker was so friendly & knowledgeable about each dish. In a way, dining at Beba felt like eating in someone's home with the way we were treated so kindly & enthusiastically. Definitely make a reservation as the interior is very small; we had a lovely time at the bar.
Their menu is incredibly inventive, mainly taking inspiration from the Italian & Spanish culinary traditions established in Argentina. Most of their dishes rotate depending on seasonal ingredients, but they always have their signature starters. They recommended trying four to five dishes for two, which was the perfect amount of food. We started with a duck special for an appetizer. The slices of meat were insanely tender & went so well over the fresh cabbage & dressing. Next, we had the beef tongue, which they were able to slightly alter to accommodate for my tree nut allergy. Once again, the meat was so juicy & flavorful. We really enjoyed the blood sausage & rapini it came with as well. The brown butter sauce reminded us of movie theater popcorn in the best possible way. Our third dish was the pappardelle. It was cooked al dente with just the right amount of firmness & bite & tossed in the creamiest cheese sauce with duck ragu. The overall dish was meaty & hearty while not feeling too heavy or greasy. For the largest shared plate, we opted for the Guinea fowl. The skin was wonderfully crispy while the meat remained juicy & savory. The oyster mushrooms & sunchokes were great complements that cut through the meatiness, & every ingredient tasted magnificent when slathered in the herbaceous salsa verde. We finished our meal with the flan-one of the best I have ever had without a doubt. The custard base was so bouncy, rich, & creamy. It was topped with the most delicate whipped cream that wasn't overly sweet & the best dulce de leche I have tasted in my life. The thick caramel's nuttiness & richness made me speechless. I could eat hundreds of these flans without ever getting tired of the dessert.
Restaurant Beba delivered us a perfect experience. Each dish was brought to us at a good pace, allowing us to enjoy every bite with no rush. The amazing service, atmosphere, &, of course, food has guaranteed that I will return the next time I'm visiting Montreal. If you want a meal you will never forget, Beba is the place to go!
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.
Beaucoup de saveurs mais peu de subtilité car la sauce, trop abondante, éclipse la texture & le goût des ingrédients principaux.
Environnement bruyant. Service impeccable . La présentation des plats sans originalité Finalement trop cher. .
During the past few years, this Montreal neighbourhood hidden gem has progressively ascended the' Top 100 Best Canadian Restaurant' ranking list. Currently, it occupies the #7 spots, just behind our Ontario-own Pearl Morissette, Alo, Edulis, 20 Victoria street…etc.
By pure luck, dining options for our relatively large party of 6, required special handling by the smallish & cozy restaurant & its compact kitchen. This resulted in our being offered a fixed price, pre-arranged'omakase' menu, consisting of communal size dishes for sharing. This menu will be specially crafted in person by Montreal celebrity chef/owner Ari Schor himself! A nice surprise & welcoming privilege!
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly & graciously by the wait staff & the two owner brothers, Ari & Pablo. After exchanging hand shakes, hugging & verbal pleasantries, we all settled down, ordered our pre-dinner cocktails & eagerly awaited the arrival of our culinary feast.
We were presented with the following dishes:
Appetizers:
- Potato Knish with Imperial Osetra Caviar
- Montadito of Mackerel with sesame, salted butter & horseradish
- Involtini of Zucchini & Swiss Chard with yogurt & pine nuts
Mains:
- Drunken Guinea Fowl & Liver marinated in Sherry
- Tagliatelle served with Chanterelle, braised Zucchinis & Pamiagiano
Reggiano
- Gloucester Old Spot Pork chop with creamed corn & black truffles
- Rabbit with Octopus, Chorizo & Potatoes
- Wild Mushroom Paella
Desserts:
- Strawberries with Marsala Zabaglioni & Amaretti
- House made Vanilla Icecream with roasted Pistachios
Our intriguing French & South American Hispanic fusion fare, with a touch of Chinese theme thrown into the mix, was both rustic yet refined. Dishes' progression was a balanced blend of subtle flavour creations intermingled with some concoctions packed with relatively bold & complex taste profiles.
The Shanghainese scallion pancake taste-alike potato Knish topped with salty caviar was a great overture to our meal.
The Chinese drunken pigeon clone main -'Drunken Guinea Fowl with Sherry' was IMO a clever,masterful touch! The delicious meat, tender & moist…..the medium rare, velvety smooth & creamy foie, exceptional!
I am normally not a fan of rabbit, finding it usually overcooked & dry. Yet, Beba's rendition was a pleasure to eat. The well seasoned meat was nicely seared, flavourful & juicy. Same applies to the pork, which was also perfectly executed, caramelized crust on the outside & moist juicy meat inside. The pile of shaved Black truffle topping was super-generous & the sweet Chilean creamed corn sauce, delightful!
Overall, it was a satisfying & sumptuous meal with generous portions, encompassing some creative, intriguing & unfamiliar ingredient composition & flavour profile
The only downside to our meal was the rather underwhelming, blend tasting & mushy textured pasta dish plus the loud &'funky' background music, which featured African tribal like songs to crackling Caribbean percussion to mellow Hispanic. What a weird mix?!
An evening of good food, warm attentive service & great company! A near perfect total package!
Food was bursting with flavor. Chefs utilize seasonal & simple ingredients showcased in such a beautiful way. Service was excellent. Highly recommend. Would go back! Thank you Beba
After living in Montreal for five years & traveling extensively through the USA, Europe, & Asia, I can confidently say Beba ranks in the top 5% of restaurants I've experienced worldwide.
The atmosphere is warm, the service impeccable, & every dish is crafted with creativity & care. The flavors are bold yet refined, turning simple ingredients into something unforgettable.
The service was excellent, & the bartender (his name is Evan) was especially kind & welcoming. His recommendations were great ! That personal touch really elevated the entire experience.
Beba isn't just a great restaurant-it's a true gem in Montreal's culinary scene. I can't wait to go back.

Cute & intimate spot for a delicious experience! The quality of ingredients were very fresh & portions were reasonable. We were pretty stuffed by the end. Also, the front of house team worked well together & were very attentive!
Really surprised to see the reviews re. service; we came here a few weeks ago & found the service absolutely exquisite. The bartender (Kathleen?) was super sweet (she suggested'Pisco
Sours' with a splash of passionfruit, which were phenomenal) & Marie -Eve was engaging & attentive, constantly topping up our glasses, making sure the table was wiped after each service, getting our coats whenever we wanted to smoke. She took time to explain how each item was prepared & the source of the ingredients- which made us want to try every last thing on the menu, a truly enthusiastic presentation. We felt pampered the whole time we were there by a warm & welcoming staff who clearly take pride in their work & are passionate about the dishes & vibe they create. Ambiance/seating/lighting was chill & comforting. Highly recommend the mackerel-bagel-fusion dish & pheasant with fava beans. We had a superb time🤍
Everything was INSANE! Every ingredient used was thought & the quality was insane! Each dish was explained with details of the techniques used & where did the products come from. It was crazy! We had two from the classique: the KNISH ; the cured mackerel on a sesame bun I.N.S.A.N.E it was soooo good! Like each flavour was perfectly balanced & everything came through! Third was the beef tartare! CRAZY! So fresh, herby, lemon, with the perfect garlicky well toasted sourdough! With ANCHOVIES! In a really comforting way it satisfied my PIZZA CRAVING! & the last was QUEBEC LAMB two ways. The first was lamb belly sandwiched & seared with black trumpet & there was the T bone equivalent of the lamb all served with sautéed greens topped with a pine nut+raisin+capers gremlot & a red wine jus! This whole experience was amazing & I am SO GRATEFUL! It was truly a WORK OF ART!
Basically the best restaurant in Montreal. The food is always on point with amazing top quality ingredients. The service is friendly, the drinks & wine recs always hit the spot & the atmosphere is super cozy. We recommend this place to everyone we know.

Beba isn't so much a restaurant, but more an extension of the owners' own kitchen. Although this place takes its roots mainly from Italian, Spanish, & Argentinian cultures, I think they can claim a little French inspiration as the term "Bon Vivant" is exactly how I would describe the duo behind Beba. Ari & Pablo are exceptionally skilled in the art of hospitality & the rest of their team does not fall short on delivering the same. The definition of unpretentious yet highly attentive service. Super patient, knowledgeable, & willing to accommodate vegetarian diet without fuss (& certainly without serving just salad). The dishes are not overly complex, sometimes only 3-4 ingredients, but they are extremely precise & invoke wonderful emotions. The passion of Ari, Pablo, & their team is strongly conveyed in everything they put in front of you & their eyes would light up while discussing a specific ingredient or wine producer. Having tried a lot of restaurants in Montreal, this place is our new benchmark & even sits above some of the best restaurants we have visited abroad. Our only regret is not coming here sooner! Aside from cocktails, we let the chef & the bar decide what we ate & drank & I can't suggest this approach enough. Price tag on the experience is not low, but worth every penny & we honestly expected a way higher bill with what was brought out. This was a birthday dinner, & we didn't even let the staff know until the end. We forgot to mention it when we arrived but as the night went on, we were treated like royalty & didn't even think to mention it! Although, this seemed to be the normal level of service for all patrons. Thank you for the wonderful experience & until next time!
Not sure food is the star here given extensive wine & cocktail menu. While small & Cozy, feels more like a bar than restaurant. Food ingredients were top notch, but presentation was "flat". Service, while efficient, lacked warmth & a certain degree of class given the prices.
5 star all around! Outstanding service, out of this world wine list & beautiful food. The restaurant offers cozy vibe & unique dishes created with top quality seasonal ingredients. One of the best restaurant Montreal has to offer!
Michelin Stars will be calling out its name - Beba - oooooommmmmmgggg- I had to write this as soon as I came home !!! At tonight's dinner the 4 of us are very very seasoned foodies & we all agreed that this dinner was absolutely more than outstanding -Each & every dish was exquisitely prepared with the very finest & freshest of ingredients - From the duck confit on a bed of fresh tagliatelle to the grilled octopus to the chocolate valhrona tart topped with roasted hazel nuts - it was all sublime - The cocktails were refreshingly delicious - All of the above was complimented with very warm, attentive & impeccable service - Camille explained everything on the menu & Evan definitely mixed love into our drinks - they took great care of us - every detail was addressed seamlessly . You feel & see a very cohesive team impassioned with their work from the chefs to the serving staff . I will joyfully & unhesitatingly recommend this to friends & families as will our friends that joined us this evening ❤️
Finally. A good "fancy" restaurant where the portions were good for the price. You get exactly what your order with no frills. Just good quality ingredients. Cocktails were on par with high end cocktails bars but at a more reasonable price. Seasonal menu makes me excited to come back!
