Nil Bleu

About a year ago, I first went to the ethiopian restaurant Nil Bleu on St. Denis, in Montreal.
It is now my favourite restaurant - the food is so good, at the atmosphere is so chill and the lights are dim.. There's also a good house beer and the bleu nil cocktail which is rum and mango nectar, so simple, so nice.


Here, this summer, we sat outside on the terrace -- you can see here spinach, chicken, lamb, beef, lentils!-- oh, the lentils. And it all served with injera bread, which is a flat, dour dough made from teff flour - which is gluten free, by the way - and you just unroll the bread and scoop up some food -

It's a great place to go with friends, and you all sit around, eating with your hands, from the same platter -- its very intimate and just so lovely..
