Rarely a restaurant will fill 5 stars out of five on all levels. Le Nil Bleu is one of this 5 stars. Despite the 30 years restaurant’s lifelong, i didn’t know about it. A small place beside a small hotel. PROS: 1. The decor is luxurious, upper and lower level, even the corridor to the bathroom and the bathroom itself are nicely decorated 2. Spotless clean everywhere; before the meal, we were handed white warm towels on a plate to clean our hands 3. I took the tasting dish, so small quantities to taste a bit of everything. It was delicious, flavourful, i couldn’t finish the second plate, i was full. 4. The waiters are bilingual, very respectfull, they explain every dish. Thank you Francis and thank you Stefano, who came out in the street with me to help with parking details. 5. Paid street parking or free after 9 pm

The food was absolutely delicious, the tasting menu is definitely the way to go! Servers were friendly, but before we even finished, in the middle of our dinner the waiter came to ask how we wanted to split the bills as the server was changing. If they knew they were not going to end the service in time I feel like asking at the time of ordering would be less disruptive. Then the replacement server came but disappeared and we were just left waiting to order our desserts. Finally a 3rd person came and said he had an emergency and had to leave so she was taking over. The servers were very pleasant, but I find it was a bit disorganized, though understandably emergencies happen, so I still give service 4 stars. The atmosphere was beautiful but our table was too close to the group next to us and one person was loud and obnoxious which was annoying, especially so close to us. Overall I'd definitely go back!

I’ve been dining at Le Nil Blue for nearly nine years, and it remains one of those rare places that never disappoints. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, with a high-class feel that still manages to be comfortable and relaxed. The staff are always kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which makes every visit enjoyable. One thing that always stands out is the cleanliness of the restaurant — everything is well kept and organized, which adds to the overall quality of the experience. The food is excellent, full of flavor and depth. Their dishes have a real punch to them, with a special blend of spices that brings out incredible taste, especially in their vegetarian options, which are seasoned beautifully. What impresses me even more is their consistency. Despite the high quality of food and service, they have kept their prices reasonable and, as far as I can remember, they haven’t changed them in the nine years I’ve been coming here. That kind of honesty and dedication to customers is rare today. Blue is truly a gem — great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff, and remarkable value. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

The atmosphere was beautiful. We stopped by to dine in on Sunday evening. After reviewing the menu and seeing the portion sizes, we decided to leave. However, the space was incredibly beautiful, and we would have loved to dine at this establishment. We were simply looking for something more casual with larger portion sizes. I will definitely be returning to try out the menu. I loved the ambience, the music, the decor, and the service was prompt and courteous.

Growing up in Ethiopia, I know what authentic Ethiopian food should taste like. My meal at Nil Bleu on St-Denis in Montreal truly brought back those memories. The food was absolutely finger-licking good, the injera was perfect, and the flavors were spot on. Even my Canadian grandchildren loved the experience of eating Ethiopian style. A wonderful and authentic dining experience. Highly recommended.
