A true hidden gem in Montreal! Chef Johnny & Owner Kristen have created one of the city's finest dining experiences. The menu features dishes you won't find anywhere else; like the celery root carpaccio, a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. The salmon tartare is exquisite, the piri piri shrimp is packed with flavor, & the flatbreads, steaks, & burgers are all top-tier. & the fries? Some of the best I've ever had. With reasonable prices, a great atmosphere, & unforgettable flavors, this spot is an absolute must-visit!View more
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 !View more
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!View more
We are first timers in Montreal & so glad to have dined at Keela last night. Friendly greeting by our host who was very helpful with the menu. Wine list is extensive. We had the roasted shrimp in a spectacular garlic butter spice sauce. Also their celery root carpaccio is a must have signature dish. Beautiful presentation & delicious. For our mains the monkfish special & filet steak frites. Wonderful peppercorn sauce. Fries were so good with a nice mustard dipping sauce. Too full for dessert! We were very well cared for by the entire service team. Keela is a special place! We can't wait to return!View more
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.View more
We reserved at Keela the same day because the other few restaurants we wanted didn't have availability . We expected pub-like atmosphere but instead the whole experience was sophisticated yet young & convivial. The food was really good & creative but with a homey touch- their celery root salad was amazing, roasted fish was a plate fit for a king, & the Cornish hen took me back to my childhood. Great experience, not forgetting the hosts who were the kindest & most knowledgeable!View more
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!View more
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.View more
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 & classicView more
Had a lovely time here! The food was absolutely incredible, celery root carpaccio on point, a lovely tartare, the piri piri flat bread was absolutely delicious & the shrimp were perfect. Kristen's wine recommendation hit the mark (a funky yet approachable Mencia from Portugal) & the hospitality & service were outstanding. Truly a gem in Montreal! Thank you so much for a fantastic experience!View more
I came here with a friend on a whim because I never really go to the Village & saw that it was highly rated. We were very pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! Our table wasn't ready so we were seated at the bar (which I must say was not comfortable in heels - classic bar stools) so was eager to be seated at a table, but ordered a sizeable dirty martini & the garlic pesto flatbread to start, which was DELICIOUS & placated me. Eventually we were seated at a table by the kitchen & we ordered the house salad, celery root carpaccio & the beef tartare & everything was excellent. The salad was very good & nothing like a boring salad. I will add that the service was very slow, but the waitress was very friendly so I put it at 5 stars. We finished with the cheesecake, which they were out of in bowls but had in a takeout container & it was so good too. The bill was quite reasonable ($125 for 2 people after tax). I'm excited to go back to this place!View more

Chose this spot since it is very close to the l'Olympia event hall where I went with my wife.
Awesome, cozy little bistro offering amazing cocktails & equally amazing food. The Celery root Carpaccio & the breaded pork chop were insane! Homemade ice cream to top it off! ... the owners Christen (manager) & Johnny (cook) made us feel so welcome that we went back for more drinks after the show! Had a blast! Really a must!
via LibroWe 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.
