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.
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 !
Got introduced to this place by a friend & absolutely loved my experience. Came back with my boyfriend, who also fell in love with it. The ambiance is cozy & inviting, perfect for an evening with friends or a date night. The cocktails were creative & tasty. As for the food, everything was absolutely delicious, but the highlights for me were the celery root carpaccio & the salmon tartare - both to die for! Highly recommend this spot!

My wife & I spent a week visiting Montreal & Quebec City. While in Montreal, on the suggestion of a friend, we stopped at Keela for dinner. Of all the restaurants where we dined, Keela left the most favorable impression, The food is fantastic. Staff is very welcoming. & the atmosphere is charming. I would highly recommend Keela & would definitely come again.
My favourite Montreal restaurant! The food was amazing. Highly recommend the piri piri house bread, salmon tartare, & the steak frites. Really amazing service.
Neighborhood restaurant with super friendly staff & outstanding but simple menu which adds to the establishments success. There something for everyone on the menu. The signature burger (I have not have but at least one at my table orders each time I'm there) is highly recommended. I personally love the grilled octopus apatiser. There is also a mixology bar 🍸 that has a following. Can be very busy make reservation but not necessary...depends on the night.
Highly recommend! The staff was so nice & accommodating for our last minute reservations with a party of 7 on a Saturday night. Food, service & atmosphere was beyond our expectations, we were super happy with everything! Still talking about the food a few days later! Will try it again on our next visit!

We fell upon this gem while waiting to go see a comedy show nearby. The service was super friendly, the atmosphere was upbeat & fun (with a live singer/guitarist playing in the background), & the food was exceptional & not over-priced for the quality we got. I highly recommend their home-made pizzas baked in a wood-burning oven, the grilled octopus appetizer, & the chateaubriand with wild mushrooms for two was perfectly cooked & tender. They also make a kick-a$$ cocktail with vodka, chartreuse & basil. Will definitely be coming back!
great vibe. great staff. short menu, so you know they can focus on making the dishes perfectly. the house bread in the stone oven was SOOO good. Grilled octopus was on-point & the filet mignon was perfectly cooked. we ate so much, we didn't have room for the desserts which looked just as yummy as the main courses. highly recommend!
Fantastic food, fantastic service. A gem 💎 of a place that I will highly recommend! Ps: they were very accommodating with one of our groups dietary restrictions.
