Resto Keela offers a lively yet welcoming vibe with consistently tasty dishes and generous portions, from Cornish Hen and pesto with garlic to octopus, scallops, and a standout oyster lineup, plus burgers, steaks, garlic knots, and bread with hummus; the cocktails and wine receive praise as well. Live music on Fridays adds to the atmosphere, and service is frequently described as attentive and friendly, though a few visits mention slower pacing when the venue is busy. Across many reviews, the place is seen as a neighborhood gem with inventive, well executed dishes, excellent celery root carpaccio, and strong flavors across the menu, and many guests say they would happily return, even as some note high prices, occasional service gaps, or limited accessibility.
Amazing strawberry mocktail & juicy burger!. Best of all was the garlic knots with the onion truffle sauce!! It was the best I've ever had & I am a very picky eater!! My server was very lovely & she reccomended that I try the sauce!!
My go to spot in ville Marie, always an amazing experience. Highly recommend beef tartare, celery root carpaccio, dollar oysters on tuesdays, flatbreads, piri piri shrimp & ribs. Cocktails are amazing & very kind staff.

everything was good. The chef helped me substituted some ingredients because allergy concern, & kept coming back to me to make sure everything was OK. Thank you
I liked the ambiance of the place there's a live band every Friday, which makes it really enjoyable. I also liked the staff & the music; they really add to the great atmosphere. The food is good, but what stood out & what I would definitely recommend are the pesto & ail, the poulet Cornouailles, & their good selection of wine. I also loved their appetizers. Overall, it's a great spot & I would happily go back

Restaurant KEELA : GROSSE DÉCEPTION !
J'avais réservé un samedi soir pour 3 personnes pour l'anniversaire de mon fils. C'était la première fois que je réservais chez Keela.
En arrivant chez Keela, l'hôtesse nous dirige vers 3 places au bar. Je demande s'il n'y a pas une erreur & elle me répond : vous avez réservé au bar. Alors, j'ai pensé avoir fait une erreur lors de ma réservation vu l'attitude de l'hôtesse. Elle était froide, je dirais même snob. Elle n'a fait aucun effort pour arranger la situation pour tenter de nous accommoder, alors nous avons décidé de partir.
Le lendemain, en relisant mon courriel de confirmation que j'avais reçu du resto, il est clairement indiqué que ma réservation était faite pour le Dinning Room & non au bar.
En conclusion, une soirée (-20 Celsius) que nous avions envisagée de spéciale pour souligner l'anniversaire de mon fils a été brimée par l'incompétence de Keela.
Restaurant Keela à éviter à tout prix !!!!!
Restaurant KEELA : BIG disappointment !!!!!
My first time booking at Keela, I booked a reservation on line, a Saturday evening for 3, to celebrate my son's birthday.
We arrived at the restaurant, & got directed to 3 places at the bar. I asked if there wasn't an error, & the hostess answered that our reservation was for the bar. Thinking the error was mine, I did not insist. The hostesses' attitude was very cold, very snobbish. She made NO effort in trying to help us with the situation, ZERO effort to accommodate us. We decide to leave.
The next day I checked the reservation confirmation emails received from KEELA, & it is clearly states that our reservation was for the'DINNING ROOM'.
The KEELA restaurant is to be avoided at all cost.
The oysters are fresh & the vinegar sauce fits perfectly. Definetly the best filet mignon we've had in a long time! The service is great & I would 100% recommend this place.
Visited here tonight whilst on a short trip to Montreal & we were blown away by how good the food was. We had scallops & the peri bread to start which were superb. We both had the steak for mains. The steak was cooked perfectly. Everything was delicious. The service was so friendly & welcoming. We had 2 limoncello shots to end which were also delicious. Definitely deserved 5 ⭐? review from us. Thank you!
