Reviews / Ratings for Restaurant Beba
The food was amazing!
I'd place this among my top ten dining experiences in Canada — high praise given how much I've explored.
Very overrated.
Every thing we had was absolutely delicious and the staff was so kind! Even gave us some other local places to stop at while we were in town for vacation. Would recommend go back again just for the dates alone
Simply Awesome
Best place to eat in Montréal, hands down.
Beba is what happens when Argentina, Spain, and Italy have a dinner party in Verdun and nobody goes home. Named after a grandmother — the highest possible endorsement a restaurant can receive — this intimate little room on Rue Éthel operates like a love letter written in foie gras-stuffed dates and finished with a dulce de leche flan. You don’t just eat here. You correspond with someone’s abuela. The menu changes weekly, which sounds like a commitment issue but is actually the most romantic thing a restaurant can do. It means they care more about what’s good right now than what looks safe on a laminated card. The wine list alone could put a sommelier into a beautiful, dissociative spiral — natural, obscure, brilliant, and somehow reasonably priced for the sheer audacity of the selection. The service is warm without being theatrical, the music is perfect without being loud, and the whole experience has the rare quality of feeling both effortless and deeply considered. Beba is not a restaurant you stumble into. It’s one you tell people about in a hushed, slightly possessive voice, like a very good secret you’re only sharing because you trust them.
This is a highly-rated restaurant in Verdun, Montreal; I don't think it quite lived up to the hype. Service was efficient, but we found our server to be a little dismissive and she encouraged us to over-order. Food quality was variable. The fish was excellent, as others have noted, but the pasta was uninspiring. The salad was fine and well-presented, but the dressing was similar to a Caesar dressing I make myself. The stuffed dates were delicious, if drenched in a bit too much olive oil. The wine list was extensive, but sold at a high price point. Overall, an interesting establishment, but expensive and our party of four did not feel this to be a Michelin-rated experience.
Everything was 10/10, and Nizar took incredible care of us. Look forward to going back
The most incredible experience, every single time. Nothing like a meal that brings you to tears. Thank you!
It was our fourth visit to Beba and as always was an excellent experience. The food and service are top notch, thank you to all the staff!
Truly a food lovers restaurant that is cosy and atmospheric. Service was educational and I mean that in the best possible way. The team have obviously worked hard to get it right. A must go place.
The service and meal were amazing!!
I had a wonderful dinner at Beba to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and it was truly a memorable experience. Every dish was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. The open kitchen added an engaging element to the dining experience and made the evening even more enjoyable. With its excellent food and warm, welcoming service, Beba made our evening feel truly special!
Fantastic! Service was phenomenal - this team is so hospitable. You must get the knish with caviar and the mackerel.
Always a wonderful night at Beba. The staff are kind and friendly and the food is always superb. A real gem in the Montreal food scene!
This was my second visit, and once again everything was flawless. The bar service is truly elevated. Nizar crafts every cocktail with care and precision. It’s quickly become one of our favourite date-night destinations. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience and lots of fun. Restaurant was able to drum up a tasting menu and some wine pairings. Excellent food and the pairings were more than on point. Special treat - the chef was in the house that night and traded Korean food recos in Toronto. Definitely would go back for the montadito alone!
It was our first time at Beba and we had a lovely night. Cute date spot. Definitely a place to go as a pair and not group (at least for me). We had the tasting menu, which was 5 courses. The plates and quantities are small but with 5 courses we were very satisfied. We started with a dirty martini which they made perfectly and the sommelier helped us choose a good bottle of white. Our favorite dishes were the Montadito and the foie gras stuffed dates. The fish was delicious too. We later regretted opting out of the Oso bucco since the tables around us got it and it looked so good. But that's just over indulgence !Service was excellent. Loved the environment and space, it really gave cozy small Brooklyn vibes with moderate volume Brazilian music playing in the back .Overall a lovely experience, I would for sure go back.
Great food, great service, great cocktails
Very good food but pricey and tiny dishes. I miss the empanadas. Wine choice can be improved, same for sparkling wine/champagne. Dessert wine is a must. Awesome service!
The experience was terrible. The food wasn’t good and definitely not worth the price. The service was also poor — the woman who served us was quite rude. I honestly don’t understand why this place has such a high rating.
Really delicious starters with unusual flavours. Unfortunately the bollo misto, the star dish, was a real disappointment as the predominant flavour was the salty gravy.
Best restaurant in town!
