Restaurant Beba est largement reconnu comme une destination culinaire incontournable à Montréal, acclamé pour son menu créatif d'inspiration italienne, espagnole et argentine ainsi que pour son atmosphère intime et accueillante. De nombreux clients soulignent le maquereau, les dattes farcies au foie gras et le flan comme des plats emblématiques témoignant d'une exécution magistrale et d'ingrédients de haute qualité. Bien que le service soit fréquemment décrit comme chaleureux, compétent et professionnel, une minorité de convives a relevé des incohérences occasionnelles dans la communication ou la préparation des plats. Malgré des commentaires sur les prix élevés par rapport à la taille des portions et un niveau sonore parfois soutenu, la grande majorité des avis reflète une expérience gastronomique mémorable, faisant de cet établissement une adresse privilégiée pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine.
I ate at Beba a few weeks ago while visiting Montreal. I'd set an alert since reservations are hard to get, so we were thrilled when a 6:30 opened up the day of & rearranged our plans to get out to Verdun.
If I were only rating the kitchen, this is an easy five stars. The food is outstanding, the knish maybe a touch over-seasoned, but it's clear why this place has the reputation it does.
Where it fell short was the service, specifically the pacing. I eat at places like this a lot & I get how it works. Margins are thin, they need to turn tables. That's exactly why we showed up on time, ordered right away, didn't sit through a bunch of cocktails, & ate at a normal pace.
When we ordered, our server asked if that would be enough food. We said we thought so, we'd gotten several appetizers, two mains, wine, & knew dessert was coming. He said if we were still hungry later we could always add more. We were pleasantly surprised, since it's usually one & done at places like this.
Then, after our last course, before asking whether we were full or wanted anything, he set the menu down & said if we wanted more we could only order things that weren't fired. & stood there. I said no, we're good. He asked if we were having dessert. We said yes & ordered it, & the check arrived with it.
If we'd been overstaying, that would be fair. I've had servers handle it warmly: sorry, we have a table waiting, please enjoy dessert but we'll need it after. This wasn't that. The check just landed, & he stood over my husband, silently, until I said I supposed it was time to pay. As he left, I heard him tell the couple waiting for our table that he'd been watching us & we were on our last bites.
I get wanting to reassure the next table. I didn't appreciate being made the scapegoat. We did our part. If plates came out too slowly & the table needed turning, that's a floor problem, & there's a gracious way to handle it. This wasn't it.
I debated writing this, because I know how slim the margins are. But I was so excited to come here & walked out with a nearly thousand-dollar check & a sour experience. I wouldn't want that for anyone else.
Just got back from Beba, where we had a wonderful meal.
We ordered a la carte, we enjoyed every dish, but our favorites were the fresh pasta with porcini & the guanciale cotto.
Flavours are bold, execution is spot on, & I found the cuisine to be very generous. I'm not referring to the portion size (it was perfectly adequate), but rather in their use of premium ingredients.
Pistachio? Tons of them. Morels? Here's a few handfuls. Great tuna? Covers half the plate. I've rarely seen such a generous use of quality premium ingredients. If an ingredient is mentioned on the menu, don't worry, you'll find it in your plate.
Also, the desserts. Wow. We had the flan & the pistachio semifreddo. Both were great, but the semifreddo was absolutely amazing, perfectly balanced & light.
On the negative, the wine list is a bit underwhelming (but cocktais are good), & I found the red wine to be served too warm, should have been served 3-4° colder.
Will definitely come back.

Excellent food & seasoning. Mackerel is one of my favorite entrees, fatty, creamy & hint of horseradish balances everything. Octopus is perfectly cooked & full of umami flavor. Beef cheeky & mochella are the best combo, red wine sauce blends all ingredients together. Flan is out of the world, smooth, rich, flavor explodes in you mouth with each bite. Cute & nice staffs, amazing services. Definitely worth visiting if you are looking for a nice fine dining experience.
I enjoy a food adventure & that's why I like to try different restos.
Unfortunately this didn't make it for me.
We started with the Knish with caviar . A knish is a mashed potatoes & onions wrapped in pastry. It was one very small bite & it was topped with a very bland caviar…not the good stuff…very overrated & overpriced…$39.
Next we ordered the mackerel. It was 2 small slices on a very little sesame bread with fresh horseradish & a big blob of butter. Way too much butter.
Then we had the Rabbit, which was very tender, & mildly flavoured.
We didn't really care for the cocktails or the wine so this place didn't hit its marks for us.
At times service was great & others was choppy (long time for bread, return of server, coats). The food was good (especially the tagliatelle pasta which was incredible) but not spectacular as other places in montreal-very inventive but at times stretched too hard. The octopus was a little tough, & frankly the by the glass wine menu was tiny relative to the immense bottle menu.
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!!
Beba is what happens when Argentina, Spain, & Italy have a dinner party in Verdun & nobody goes home. Named after a grandmother - the highest possible endorsement a restaurant can receive - this intimate little room on Rue Éthel operates like a love letter written in foie gras-stuffed dates & finished with a dulce de leche flan. You don't just eat here. You correspond with someone's abuela.
The menu changes weekly, which sounds like a commitment issue but is actually the most romantic thing a restaurant can do. It means they care more about what's good right now than what looks safe on a laminated card. The wine list alone could put a sommelier into a beautiful, dissociative spiral - natural, obscure, brilliant, & somehow reasonably priced for the sheer audacity of the selection.
The service is warm without being theatrical, the music is perfect without being loud, & the whole experience has the rare quality of feeling both effortless & deeply considered. Beba is not a restaurant you stumble into. It's one you tell people about in a hushed, slightly possessive voice, like a very good secret you're only sharing because you trust them.
This is a highly-rated restaurant in Verdun, Montreal; I don't think it quite lived up to the hype. Service was efficient, but we found our server to be a little dismissive & she encouraged us to over-order. Food quality was variable. The fish was excellent, as others have noted, but the pasta was uninspiring. The salad was fine & well-presented, but the dressing was similar to a Caesar dressing I make myself. The stuffed dates were delicious, if drenched in a bit too much olive oil. The wine list was extensive, but sold at a high price point. Overall, an interesting establishment, but expensive & our party of four did not feel this to be a Michelin-rated experience.
Very good food but pricey & tiny dishes. I miss the empanadas. Wine choice can be improved, same for sparkling wine/champagne. Dessert wine is a must.
Awesome service!
