Keela est souvent décrit comme un endroit chaleureux et accueillant du Village où ambiance et qualité se marient avec des plats créatifs et des portions généreuses. Les avis soulignent une cuisine remarquable, des saveurs intenses et des présentations qui ne jouent pas la grosse tête, avec des spécialités comme le carpaccio de céleri-rave, les huîtres en promo le mardi, le poulpe grillé, le filet mignon et le steak frites, ou encore le tartare de saumon et les crevettes piri piri, sans oublier des burgers et des pizzas qui surprennent. Le service est globalement apprécié pour sa disponibilité et sa gentillesse, même lors des soirs très fréquentés, et l’ambiance, parfois animée par de la musique live, est décrite comme à la fois conviviale et intime. Certains avis mentionnent des tarifs élevés et une certaine variabilité du service, mais la majorité estime que la qualité des plats et des cocktails, le cadre et l’accueil font largement pencher la balance en faveur de Keela et donnent envie d’y revenir lors de visites futures.
I had a wonderful experience at this quaint little restaurant. Drinks & food were executed perfectly. The picture shows my octopus appetizer. Service was excellent

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
We loved the food & calm atmosphere. We had the octopus ans the steak. It was delicious! I also recommend the chocolate mousse, it tastes better than it looks.
Such a cute restaurant with a great atmosphere, & great live music! I will definitely be going again. The food was absolutely delicious. The octopus & carpaccio are a must try!
Visiting a friend whose favourite restaurant in Montreal is Keela, & I understand why. The food was excellent- standouts were the celery root carpaccio & grilled octopus. The cocktails were well crafted & the wine list was very well curated. The service was warm, & the atmosphere felt casual & welcoming. Such a nice spot, I hope I get to come back next time I'm in Montreal.
We had an unforgettable meal at Keela. My husband & I shared the celery root carpaccio, salmon tartare, grilled shrimp, & grilled octopus, as well as the carrot cake & the fried dough with nutella (for our kids!). Everything was really excellent- expertly prepared, cooked perfectly. I think the grilled shrimp was our favorite, but the octopus was a close second. Our kids also enjoyed their meals of ribs & a side salad, & the burger with fries. It's not often we can go to a "fine dining" establishment with our kids & we ALL leave happy & full at the end of the night. Keela achieved this beautifully, & the service was friendly & helpful, the ambience was great. I would go back in a heartbeat - can't wait to return to Montreal again!
The food & service were great! The shrimp & the octopus appetizers were fantastic! The celery root carpaccio was also unexpectedly great. The burger was good & the fries were superb. The carrot cake was also great. Overall a great evening.
We went to dinner on the early side (~5:30) on a Saturday at Keela. It was fun having the restaurant to ourselves for about 45 min but by the time it was 6:15 & only one other table had sat, I was starting to scratch my head. Both appetizers octopus & celery root were good but I was pretty disappointed by the burger & steak frites. steak was served purple when we asked for medium... & hamburger was meh. That said in the age of tapas restaurants everywhere, glad Keela is keeping it simple & classic

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.
I had a great first experience. The staff were amazing & have excellent service in a timely manner. The steak is absolutely delicious! The octopus is perfectly cooked! I'll be back!
We found this place haphazardly before a show we were heading to & we couldn't have been more impressed.
We ended up spending more time here than we thought. The decor was serious but the vibe was laid back. The food felt like it was effortlessly put together. The definition of a place that knows exactly what it's about. We got the octopus & flatbread & both were delicious!
I always suggest sitting at the bar as this is where service is best...once again it did not disappoint. The prices weren't overly high either. Overall a memorable experience for what was supposed to be a quick bite. Would definitely go back for a date or with friends.

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!
What an EXCELLENT meal!!! Truly so delicious! We had piri piri flat bread, octopus, ribs & burgers & natural red wine. Everyone was so lovely & knowledgeable. & it was packed when we arrived for our reservation so the secret is clearly out! So looking forward to going back again soon!
Amazing service. I really loved how they had seasonal cocktails (the fall 2021 sage cocktail is my recommendation). We ended up sharing plates & it was amazing. The octopus was a big hit. Homemade ice cream for dessert!
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.
