We got the vegan tasting menu. Every component was outstandingly delicious and easily some of the best food we’ve enjoyed in Montreal. The service was excellent and the servers were all very kind. Our server even took the time to explain the ingredients in both English and French. The ambience is very romantic as well, pleasant lighting and feel. My husband and I agreed that it is great value for the price - only ~$70 per person for the tasting menu and a lovely evening to remember!

My husband and I stumbled across this nice Ethiopian restaurant en route back to our hotel. We loved the relaxing & pretty atmosphere both indoors & outdoors, we sat outdoors since the weather was sunny and nice. I told the waitress that Ethiopian cuisine reminds me of Korean Ssam where you use a piece of food (in Korean cuisine it’s a sesame or lettuce leaf) to use like a tortilla to make a taco. Ethiopians use a spongey, highly flexible bread to eat everything since their culture traditionally does not use cutlery.

Vegetarians and meat eaters will dig this place! :)

Amazing food! As a vegan, i don’t usually go to non-vegan restaurants in Montreal. But when i’m in the mood for ethiopian food, we’re so lucky to have Nil Bleu. They have an amazing vegan menu. We always take the tasting manu with the 3 appetizers and several varieties as entrees. The injeras (Ethiopian pancakes) are wonderful and the selection of wine is fantastic!

We have sampled Ethiopian food all over the world. We ordered the vegan tasting platter. Uneasonably expensive food and drink with small portions. Glass wasn't clean. Food was good, but not worth the hype and price. Excited to try other options in the city.

Great service. We tried the chicken and lamb Watt which were both delicious. Nice atmosphere and attentive servers. Removing one star for the huge spider that was playing merrily next to our table near the window. It was quite off putting.

I lived in Washington DC for years and I’ve traveled to Ethiopia, so I am not new to Ethiopian cuisine. The food at le Nil Bleu fantastic, some of the best I’ve ever had! We ordered the meat and vegetable tasting menu. The appetizers were contemporary and the main course more traditional. The food was tasty and plentiful; the staff was friendly. Go hungry, leave happy!

A truly culinary, exotic experience that transports one to the finest of what Ethiopia has to offer.

I had Ethiopian food in Dubai at several Ethiopian restaurants THERE, and NOT ONE could hold a candle to Nil Blue in terms of ambience, professionalism of service, taste of the food, and quantity.

The VERY FIRST restaurant I went to upon my return to Montreal, wasNil Bleu, which also has an extensive wine list, and provides exquisitely blended cocktails as well.

Highly recommend both restaurant and Hotel. From check in to check out, some of the best service we have had. Definitely a place we will stay again.
