Review Summary

Overall, Bistro Sofia is described as a warm, intimate spot with authentic Bulgarian and Mediterranean dishes, generous portions, and a wine list that many consider exceptional, all served by friendly, attentive staff in a convivial, homey setting. The food is repeatedly praised as flavorful, comforting, and true to tradition, with fresh ingredients and a sense of traveling to Bulgaria through the meals; gluten free options are noted by some. On the downside, several visits are described as extremely slow with long waits for courses and occasional communication hurdles when the place is busy, though the quality of the dishes is still acknowledged. Many would return, calling it a hidden gem and one of their favorite spots in Montreal for a memorable meal, brunch, or sharing plates.

Nous avons eu la chance de faire notre souper de Noël dans ce restaurant. Nous ne connaissions pas beaucoup la nourriture des balkans & nous voulions faire des découvertes culinaires. Nous avons adoré notre expérience. C'est un petit restaurant authentique qui sert une cuisine savoureuse. C'est typiquement le genre de restaurant de quartier peu connu qui mériterait une plus grande visibilité. Nous y retournerons assurément !

This is an amazing restaurant. We have been there several different times.
Tikvichki (fried zuchinis), kashkaval pane (fried cheese) & Imam Bayildi (Roasted Eggplant) are our favorite dishes there! Everything is fresh & tasty!
This is a perfect place to discover more about the Bulgarian & the Balkans’ cuisine. The menu is varied, they have a very good selection of beverages & vegetarian options as well!
Despite our ocasional visits, we have decided to have our civil wedding lunch at Bistro Sofia, during summer! To enjoy their beautiful terrace & amazing food! We are extremely happy that we could count on the owners Peter & Anna, who made it possible for us celebrate our special day. The service was impeccable, as well as the ambiance. We definitely recommend this place for any future events or simply to enjoy a delicious meal in Montreal!
