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.

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.

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!

Ordered takeout. The moisture in the sausage has been lost & it has become salty. The same goes for chicken leg. Not too much parts of this leg can be eated .
First of all, I really like this restaurant. At least most of the time, the dishes remained tender & juicy, a far cry from today's mediocre experience.

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!
