An exceptional evening. The welcome, the meal, the service, the atmosphere, everything was perfect. All I can think about is going back. Bravo to the chef and thank you for this incredible experience of African cuisine that is both comforting and highly gastronomic.

I’m happy I stepped into this restaurant during my visit to MTL. I was intrigued by the restaurant concept and they certainly did not disappoint. The food was delicious and well presented(just would have preferred a bit less greens); service was top notch and I left well fed in a great mood.

Tasty and spicy dishes. Quality ingredients, good cooking, well executed overall. On the other hand, my main course was barely bigger than the starter and dessert: for vegetables, half a baby bok choy, and half a small beet. Two adults who pass through the menu: my partner and I remained hungry, and we ate everything down to the last grain of couscous. I'm a little disappointed with my experience because of that. Let us discover African gastronomy with more than 3 bites! Too much to pay for small portions.

Delicious food, service and presentation! We tried multiple dishes as well as both desserts, and everything tasted extremely comforting and delicious! The service is really good too, the server took her time to explain everything to us about the dishes and we also had some help pairing a perfect wine with the dishes! Highly recommended!!

The food was absolutely amazing. We had the fried beans, the cod and the steak. It was all flavourful. We ended up ordering a second plate of the steak because that’s how amazing it was. And the service was impeccable.

Impeccable service and beautiful decoration of the premises both inside and outside. A great shame that there is no Halal option and/or very few vegetarian or fish options in the main course category. It was all pretty good.

Virunga is an excellent restaurant!We were so surprised how much goat cheese could be so tasty! One wonders why it is not a more common meat in Quebec, especially since we have several Chèvreries.The tastes are sought after, the dishes are well presented.The service is personalized, attentive, perfect.I will go back and it’s a superb discovery!

Loved the place. The food was modern, visually appealing, tasty with a journey in Africa. Cocktails were inspiring and service was very attentive. Totally recommend it and will go back. Menu changes as per local availability. I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of our dessert.
