Resto Keela earns widespread praise for its welcoming vibe and consistently excellent food. Signature dishes like the octopus, celery root carpaccio, salmon tartare, and the rib or filet mignon are repeatedly highlighted, and oysters on Tuesdays are a particular favorite. The menu is described as creative and well paced, with breads, beignets for dessert, and flavorful sides adding to the experience. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, and the staff create a lively yet homey atmosphere, though a few reviews note slower service when the restaurant is crowded. Cocktails and wine receive strong praise for variety and quality. Prices are sometimes seen as high, but many feel the quality and overall experience justify the cost. It is described as a hidden gem in the Village and a top pick for return visits. A few remarks mention accessibility issues or occasional hiccups in service when busy.
Went here in september with my wife & baby son. To say the least, it was incredible.
Favorite restaurant/food/drink experience Ive had in all of Canada. Cornish Hen was possibly the best poultry Ive ever eaten.
Steak frites also some of the best Ive ever had. The filet was tender & as flavorful as a more marbled type of cut, which was unbelievable. The rye, mint, chartreuse cocktail also, I kid you not, was one of the best cocktails Ive ever had. I know, this all sounds unbelievable BUT believe it!! The service was top notch as well, we had a gentleman with a mustache & glasses as our server & he basically recommended everything we ended up ordering. Atmosphere felt lively & homey at the same time. Thank you again. This place was 11/10. Believe it!
I had a wonderful experience at this quaint little restaurant. Drinks & food were executed perfectly. The picture shows my octopus appetizer. Service was excellent

Needed a last-minute dinner for our family, & found Keela close to our hotel. Chose it based on the high Google reviews. It did not disappoint! All of our meals & drinks were fantastic. Service was quick & friendly. The inside of the restaurant has a great atmosphere, but the outside location isn't great. We were lucky to eat there when they had live music & it was fantastic. Prices were high, but the quality of the food we got was worth it. The desserts were phenomenal - make sure you leave room!
The reviews are not an exaggeration! 10/10 meal. Service, drinks & food were out of this world. the gem of the neighborhood & we already cant wait to go back!
My favourite restaurant in Montréal!
The service is always friendly & attentive, & the food is unnnnreeeaaalll. The ribs are to die for!
My go to spot for a nice dinner or drinks & bites with friends.
The filet mignon melts in your mouth! Drinks are awesome & service is friendly & considerate. This is our second visit & we look forward to next time. If you seeing a show at the Olympia, reserve ahead cause this place is popular. Thanks to Keela staff!

C'était au delà de nos attentes. Le service était #1.
Les drinks, entrées & repas étaient vraiment délicieux. Une première pour nous mais certainement pas la dernière.
Belle ambiance, musique vendredi soir, groupe de 6 personnes ayant essayé tous les drinks & presque tout le menu. C'est excellent! Prix bien considéré. Service très courtois & poli. Belle équipe.
