Review Summary

Overall reviews portray Resto Keela as a standout in the neighborhood, delivering exceptionally flavorful dishes from oysters and celery root carpaccio to octopus, salmon tartare, burgers and top notch steaks, with many noting perfectly cooked meat, inventive flavors, and memorable cocktails. Oysters on Tuesdays and regular specials are frequently highlighted as special features, and the atmosphere is described as cozy, lively and welcoming with live music at times, making it great for dates, friends nights out or family gatherings. The service is usually praised for being friendly and attentive even during busy periods, though a few comments mention occasional slow service or being short staffed and some feel the value is high for the price. Taken together, the reviews crown Resto Keela a hidden gem in Montreal with consistent quality, creative dishes, strong drinks and a warm, inviting vibe that keeps guests returning.

Restaurant KEELA : GROSSE DÉCEPTION !
J'avais réservé un samedi soir pour 3 personnes pour l'anniversaire de mon fils. C'était la première fois que je réservais chez Keela.
En arrivant chez Keela, l'hôtesse nous dirige vers 3 places au bar. Je demande s'il n'y a pas une erreur & elle me répond : vous avez réservé au bar. Alors, j'ai pensé avoir fait une erreur lors de ma réservation vu l'attitude de l'hôtesse. Elle était froide, je dirais même snob. Elle n'a fait aucun effort pour arranger la situation pour tenter de nous accommoder, alors nous avons décidé de partir.
Le lendemain, en relisant mon courriel de confirmation que j'avais reçu du resto, il est clairement indiqué que ma réservation était faite pour le Dinning Room & non au bar.
En conclusion, une soirée (-20 Celsius) que nous avions envisagée de spéciale pour souligner l'anniversaire de mon fils a été brimée par l'incompétence de Keela.
Restaurant Keela à éviter à tout prix !!!!!

Restaurant KEELA : BIG disappointment !!!!!
My first time booking at Keela, I booked a reservation on line, a Saturday evening for 3, to celebrate my son's birthday.
We arrived at the restaurant, & got directed to 3 places at the bar. I asked if there wasn't an error, & the hostess answered that our reservation was for the bar. Thinking the error was mine, I did not insist. The hostesses' attitude was very cold, very snobbish. She made NO effort in trying to help us with the situation, ZERO effort to accommodate us. We decide to leave.
The next day I checked the reservation confirmation emails received from KEELA, & it is clearly states that our reservation was for the'DINNING ROOM'.
The KEELA restaurant is to be avoided at all cost.

The oysters are fresh & the vinegar sauce fits perfectly. Definetly the best filet mignon we've had in a long time! The service is great & I would 100% recommend this place.

Visited here tonight whilst on a short trip to Montreal & we were blown away by how good the food was. We had scallops & the peri bread to start which were superb. We both had the steak for mains. The steak was cooked perfectly. Everything was delicious. The service was so friendly & welcoming. We had 2 limoncello shots to end which were also delicious. Definitely deserved 5 ⭐? review from us. Thank you!

The staff was amazing. Both Lucy & her manager were able to handle a full house despite being short staff. Excellent!

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!

Stopped in without a reservation on a Saturday & grabbed a seat at the bar. Staff was super friendly & the food was amazing. Ordered the octopus off the regular menu & the baked scallops on special. Was all perfectly cooked & the meal was paced well for a solo guest. Would definitely recommend & will visit again on my next trip to Montreal

Hidden gem in the Village! We've been to Keela countless times since it first opened (most often on Tuesdays for the oysters - guilty!) & we have never been disappointed! Food is just great, they always have unique dishes not on the regular menu - even New Year's Eve was an absolute blast with a big group! The service is attentive & top notch & the whole vibe is conducive to just the greatest evenings. The bread with hummus & tartare are definitely favourites, oh & the shrimps too!

Un gros coup de coeur cet endroit. Les proprios sont ultra accueillants chaleureux, tout comme le staff. Excellente cuisine, bonne ambiance. Les clients deviennent rapidement des amis & ça paraît dans l'accueil & le service.

Celery root & St. Louis Ribs in appetizers are the best. I asked how were the ribs cooked to perfection , & the waitor said by sous vide.
