Le restaurant Beba est largement reconnu pour son atmosphère intime, son accueil chaleureux et son menu créatif qui marie avec brio les influences italiennes, espagnoles et argentines. De nombreux convives louent la grande qualité des ingrédients saisonniers, soulignant particulièrement des plats phares comme les dattes farcies au foie gras, les toasts au maquereau et les pâtes fraîches. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs décrive un service attentionné et professionnel, quelques clients ont fait part d'expériences plus mitigées concernant le rythme du service, le niveau sonore ou la préparation de certains plats. Dans l'ensemble, cette adresse demeure une destination incontournable à Montréal pour les amateurs de cuisine à la recherche d'une expérience culinaire mémorable et raffinée.
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!
My better half & I dined at Beba this evening & it was unforgettable. The staff is extremely attentive & knowledgeable (& very graceful working in such a tight space) the food was incredible, every dish was better than the last. The tomato tart will be on my mind for a very long time. It capped our night off in Montreal perfectly. We can't wait to come back. Thanks 🙏
A lot of little things led to a disappointing meal. I was debating on two drinks, I decided on one. The server brought the other. It was good but not what I ordered. The mackerel dish was served raw. The menu never said that. My wife said it was good. I just don't like raw mackerel. The tomato tart was awful. They did comp it though. Of the three hot dishes we ordered, two (the tart being one) were served lukewarm. The special, pork belly (the other one served lukewarm) was equal parts fat as meat. The tongue dish & the date dish were both really good. The worse part is for what we spent to leave hungry, not worth it.
Petit resto. , cuisine ouverte avec les clients, plusieurs serveurs pour offrir bon service, carte des vins élaborée, moins de 10 plats offerts, bonnes explications du menu & lors du service.
Must order ossetra caviar knish, mackerel, foie gras stuffed dates; salad radicchio, zucchini; FABULOUS GUINEA FOWL WITH ITS FOIE GRAS, ASPARAGUS, excellent Berkshire pork with corn & truffles. Flan with blueberries & whipped cream. Sophisticated wine list at all price points, & a knowledgeable staff to advise. We prefer Beba to Mon Lapin & Boulud (both of which are excellent!)
This place is nothing short of amazing. Far exceeded my already high expectations. Kathleen & the entire crew's knowledge & service were top notch. The wine pairings were exquisite & the food transcendent. A very special place!
Just one word exceptional !!! The food was seasonal & fresh! Our waiter mikael was just wonderful we took the tasting menu & it did not disappoint. We left with full bellies & a warm heart. Will def return !
