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.
We went to have an early supper before a show & we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service was great & it was a great cozy atmosphere.
The atmosphere was great, service was super friendly, & food was good. One of us had the burger, I had the pulled pasta, & it was delicious. Only reason I gave it 4 stars (& not 5) is that the price was a little high for the atmosphere/menu choices/overall experience.

The ambiance & service was very nice (though a bit slow at times). The food was good but not great. The steak was overcooked & definitely not worth $50. Better off going to Gibbys or the Keg for steak. The cocktail was small but delicious. The appetizers were ok but nothing to write home about.
Excellent gem of a restaurant that serves some unique & delicious dishes. We enjoyed the oysters, flatbread, salads ( the burrata one was beautiful!) & wish we had room to try the roasted fish ! Lovely ambience & the service top notch. Our server ( we had Lucy) was warm, welcoming & very informative. I wish we were staying longer in Montreal - to try their whole menu!! My husband & I both had a really good experience at Keela . Try it!!
We were looking for a spot near l'Olympia before a show. What a great find! Delicious cocktails, great service, yummy food ... & live music! The salad, burgers & fries were some of the best we've had in Montreal. The menu is on the small side, but has enough variety to satisfy any palate.
