| - On our first night in Montreal, we decided to get Ethiopian food for dinner on a suggestion of a friend. The Blue Nile Restaurant offers vegan/vegetarian options as well as beef, lamb and chicken dishes, so there is something for everyone!
The drinks looked delicious and fruity and were pretty inexpensive at $8 Canadian. I had the safari, and it was fruity, as was expected. My friend and I shared the eggplant appetizer, which was delicious and then a chicken and a beef dish. The chicken and beef were served on a large platter with the Ethiopian spongey crepes and a little fresh salad in the middle.
I liked the chicken a lot more than the beef, it fell off the bone and the sauce was excellent. All the dishes come with the crepes, and maybe they don't eat rice in Ethiopia, but I wish there was a different kind of starch...
The service was excellent except for the little mishap when the waiter accidentally spilled water on me. Also, the tables are really close together, so I had to stand up and get out of my chair a few times to let the customers at the adjacent table get in and out....
It got very crowded, so try to make a reservation if you can!
