Overall, Bistro Sofia is described as a warm, authentic Bulgarian restaurant with flavorful, hearty dishes, generous portions and good value, complemented by a welcoming atmosphere and a thoughtful wine list; the experience is often praised for friendly service and a cozy setting that invites lingering, while a few visits note slower or sporadic service and longer waits during peak times, but most reviews agree the food quality and inviting vibe make it worth returning to explore more dishes.
Nice bistro serving Bulgarian food & wine in Rosemont neighbourhood. Great for sharing & trying Bulgarian specialties. & purchasing Balkan foods to take home.
Very intimate bistro, pleasant staff. We were in a hurry as we were going to a show, We had to rush off before we could finish our meal, we asked for doggie bags, owner told us to go to the show & come back after to pick up the food. He trusted us & did not ask for payment. We came back 2 hours laters to pick up our unfinished food & pay. The food was excellent, charcuterie board & cheeses, great Bulgarian specialtie!
Quaint restaurant with delicious options of Bulgarian & Mediterranean dishes. Staff is very friendly & welcoming. Our family had a splendid time dining there.
The dishes are generous & excellent without even being expensive. The waiter was great & the atmosphere welcoming. He explained everything to know about the dishes & offered many options. An amazing Bulgarian Bistro ! Thank you !
We had been welcomed by wonderful waitress, Sonia. She explains us well the cuisine & the dishes. We enjoyed the cold yougurt soup + cucumber. It was refreshing for a summer like this one . However the chicken & the saucisse were overcooked, it got too dried. As you can see on the picture, it got quite burned. The figure desserts were too sweet for our tastebuds. Overall it was good try for Bulgarian cuisine.

Friendly staff, great selection & a nice atmosphere. We had the charcuterie board & some white Bulgarian wine. Very enjoyable experience. We will return. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely brunch here over the weekend with our family! The owner was very kind & genuine. He clearly enjoyed sharing Bulgarian culture with us, & we very much enjoyed experiencing it! Highly recommend trying the Banitza (phyllo pastry). Most dishes come with fruit & yoghurt as well. Highly recommend!
Had a lovely meal on the terrasse this past summer. The owner was personable & gave us great suggestions. The food was authentic & great. We have returned since to buy bulgarian products from their produce shelves. They carry imported bulgarian herbs, honeys, jams, liquors, wines, & more.
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!
