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.
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.
Un service fort sympathique, des cocktails qui ont du goût & une bonne cuisine! Un chansonnier pour ajouter à l'ambiance. Tout pour plaire! Je recommande.

Greta restaurant, great atmosphere & the food was impeccable. The owners even came out & said hi to us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. I'd highly recommend Keela to anyone in Montreal looking for a very unique & tasty dining experience. Also, great touch with the assorted styles of plates & bowls!
We really enjoyed our meal. I would recommend the beet & delicata squash salad, the salmon tartare, celery root carpaccio, grilled octopus & any one of the flatbreads. The owner is always spot on with a wine suggestion & live music adds to an all around friendly & lively atmosphere.
Temps d'attente très long pour la commande pour apportez (bien que commander à l'avance). On aurait pu laisser passer si on avait eu un coup de coeur pour la nourriture, ce qui n'a pas été le cas.
Je dois dire cependant que le personnel est vraiment très aimable & l'ambiance est super bonne. Je ne vous recommande donc pas la nourriture pour apportez, mais si ce que vous recherchez c'est un beau resto avec ambiance (avec nourriture correcte), c'est une belle place à aller.

Wonderful service from both our server & the Owner. Food was very very good: salmon belly & filet mignon, both cooked to perfection over a charcoal grill. Reasonable prices for the great quality. Highly recommended.
Une visite très appréciée ; Accueil plaisant, & service impeccable.
Nous avons essayé plusieurs des plats sur la carte, & suivi certaines des recommandations de la serveuse ; s'en est suivi un repas incroyable plein de saveurs.
Je recommande fortement la pieuvre grillée qui était parfaite. Les innovations du chef, comme le carpaccio de celeri rave sont surprenantes.
La carte des vins est fournie & comporte des vins de qualité, à accorder avec vos propres choix.
Fabulous service & absolutely delicious food! Highly recommend the celery root carpaccio. The salmon tartare was also superb. Venture just a few steps off Sainte-Catherine street & you will not be disappointed.
