About Us
How it all started
Nestled in the heart of Montreal’s vibrant Plateau-Mont-Royal since the early 1990s, Le Nil Bleu has been a passionate ambassador of Ethiopian cuisine for over 30 years. While the national gastronomy has been perfected for more than a millennium, it is at Le Nil Bleu where you will find its most sophisticated presentation.
Celebrated by the local community, Le Nil Bleu has repeatedly earned the title of “Best African Restaurant in Montreal” in reader polls such as the Montréal Mirror, maintaining its reputation year after year. It offers a rich, communal dining experience—think injera platters laden with spiced lamb, chicken, lentils, and more, designed to be shared—immersing guests in traditions where food is both nourishment and ceremony .
Inside, the décor strikes a balance between exotic and elegant, with zebra-print fabrics, tribal art and musical instruments, white table linens, and soft lighting creating an intimate yet cosmopolitan ambiance.
Whether you are a vegan or an omnivore, the two-course tasting menu brings together the chef’s selections and the most popular dishes to bring you the best of Ethiopian gastronomy at your fingertips. Adventurers? We can guide you through our selection of à la carte dishes!
