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.
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!
In Montreal's misty night, through Sofia's pane, Where Eastern flavors dance, a warm refrain, White tablecloths, a scene of grace, People savoring, in joyous embrace. A symphony of laughter fills the air, As flavors mingle, a culinary affair, Each bite a journey, a tale untold, In Bistro Sofia, hearts unfold. Through rain-kissed glass, a glimpse we see, Of life's rich tapestry, a moment free, In Montreal's embrace, we find delight, In Sofia's haven, on this wet night.
The food was good, but nothing exceptional. The wait however, was excruciatingly long. We spent 5 hours total in the restaurant, & half our meals arrived lukewarm. From the time we place the order, it took more than 2 hours before getting the main course.
L'atmosphère est très amicale-familiale. Les entres authentiques & délicieux. Par contre le poulet a été sec.... Le service en peu lent.... Je reviendrai, mais sans poulet :-)))))). Quand même merci beaucoup pour les bonnes entrés
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.
Nous sommes allés là par hasard après avoir réservé dans un restaurant proche qui finalement était fermé... 😭Nous avons été reçu alors que nous n'avions donc pas réservé & un samedi soir. Le serveur était d'une gentillesse sans nom! & extrêmement serviable! Les plats super savoureux, succulent & généreux en quantité! Tout cela pour un prix plus que raisonnable! L'ambiance est très calme & intime! Vraiment une adresse où nous retournerons c'est sur!

Un excellent repas dans une ambiance intime & décontractée, avec un service hors-pair (un gros merci à Romain). On a hâte d'y retourner. La sélection de vins est particulièrement intéressante.
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.
It's a really nice place. The food is delicious. & the service is excellent.
Was a little slow, but I took into consideration that there was just one person working. & he was smiling, treating everyone really well, being so gentle. He makes a great difference in all the experience. I just forgot to ask his name. But that french guy working alone in the restaurant full, makes me like the place 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!
