Nil Bleu (Le) Restaurant is one of the best ethiopian restaurants in Montreal for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Montreal.
Le Nil Bleu has been the Plateau's Ethiopian anchor for over 30 years, and the longevity shows: it's been voted Montreal's best African restaurant in reader polls, and the room — zebra-print fabrics, tribal art, white linens, soft light — leans elegant rather than kitschy.
