Nama Kitchen - Montréal

The duck dishes were delicious, but quite small. The sea bass was lovely and very flavorful. However, the goat's shell was rather disappointing; it didn’t stand out at all, and the portion was so small that it hardly qualified as a main dish. It consisted of just four tablespoons served in a small iron pot, with no rice or garnish on the side. Not sure if this contributed to our experience, but when we tried the duck, there was an extremely strong smell of marijuana wafting through the restaurant, and it definitely wasn’t from any of the diners. We joked about it, never imagining that the kitchen staff might have been too stoned to prepare our main course. I wouldn't personally return to this restaurant, but perhaps locals might want to give it a shot and see if we just happened to visit on a bad night.

The appetizers were delicious but quite small. The sea bass was beautifully prepared and very tasty, but the goat dish was quite disappointing. It lacked any distinct flavors, and the portion was so tiny that it barely qualified as a main course—just four spoonfuls served in a small iron pot with nothing else like rice or garnish. To add to the experience, there was an unusually strong smell of something herbal wafting through the restaurant—not coming from any diners. We joked about getting a contact high and half-wondered if the kitchen staff might have been too distracted to focus on our meal. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to visitors, but perhaps locals might want to give it a shot and see if we just happened to visit on an off night.
