Fantastic service. Spectacular food. We each found something to suit our palette - broccolini & burrata plus octopus & tzatziki to burger to pasta to steak frites. We all walked away so happy. Merci!

Th burger is too salty, fries are overdone, too stiff to chew. Barely any service offered, yet they defaulted min 18% tips. Will not recommend.

A true hidden gem in Montreal! Chef Johnny & Owner Kristen have created one of the city's finest dining experiences. The menu features dishes you won't find anywhere else; like the celery root carpaccio, a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. The salmon tartare is exquisite, the piri piri shrimp is packed with flavor, & the flatbreads, steaks, & burgers are all top-tier. & the fries? Some of the best I've ever had. With reasonable prices, a great atmosphere, & unforgettable flavors, this spot is an absolute must-visit!

We had a show at the Olympia theatre so we looked for a resto nearby. I came across this resto on Google & read the excellent reviews. IT LIVED UP TO THEM. Super cute & cozy atmosphere. Staff was very welcoming, engaging & friendly. As per the reviews, I had to try the celery root carpaccio & it was phenomenal ! For dinner, we had the steak frites & keela burger which were both amazing. Highly recommend & we will be back !

The salmon tartare was delicious. I would have had 16 if I could. Then I got the burger. OMG. Incredible. This was probably one of the top 20 dinners I've ever had. Would recommend in every lifetime.

We had an unforgettable meal at Keela. My husband & I shared the celery root carpaccio, salmon tartare, grilled shrimp, & grilled octopus, as well as the carrot cake & the fried dough with nutella (for our kids!). Everything was really excellent- expertly prepared, cooked perfectly. I think the grilled shrimp was our favorite, but the octopus was a close second. Our kids also enjoyed their meals of ribs & a side salad, & the burger with fries. It's not often we can go to a "fine dining" establishment with our kids & we ALL leave happy & full at the end of the night. Keela achieved this beautifully, & the service was friendly & helpful, the ambience was great. I would go back in a heartbeat - can't wait to return to Montreal again!
