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.
From the snacks during happy hour to the flatbreads, appetizers, mains & ice cream, everything was delicious. Johnny, Kristen & their staff are doing a great job of creating a warm atmosphere in which to enjoy delicious food & drinks. Can't wait to return!
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.
